A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair
4.5
I devoured 'A Touch of Darkness' by Scarlett St. Clair in one sitting, and I'm still reeling from the experience. This book is a mesmerizing and addictive tale of love, power, and mythology, with a dash of darkness and intrigue.
The story follows Hades and Persephone, but not as you know them. This is a modern retelling, with a twist. Hades is a powerful and enigmatic figure, and Persephone is a strong and determined heroine. Their chemistry is off the charts, and their story is both passionate and heartbreaking.
St. Clair's writing is engaging and seductive, with a level of detail and world-building that's impressive. The characters are complex and multidimensional, with motivations that are both understandable and relatable.
My only criticism is that the pacing can be a bit uneven in places, and some plot threads feel slightly underdeveloped. However, these are minor quibbles in an otherwise fantastic book.
Overall, 'A Touch of Darkness' is a must-read for fans of mythology, romance, and fantasy. Scarlett St. Clair has a true talent for storytelling, and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
