A Touch of Malice
by Scarlett St. Clair
3.5 ⭐️ Slow beginning and middle, stellar ending
"You are my everything. My first love, my wife, the first and last Queen of the Underworld." ❤️
#1 A Touch of Darkness— 4 Stars
#2 A Touch of Ruin — 3 Stars
#3 A Touch of Malice — 3.5 Stars
I have a lot of thoughts about this book so let's get right into it.
Everything that was wrong with A Touch of Ruin was rectified in A Touch of Malice. Persephone wasn't a whiny or insecure, and she gets some good character development . There actually was a plot to follow besides the relationship drama between Persephone and Hades. Plus, there were ten times as many sex scenes. All of these changes definitely enhanced my reading experiences. I really don't think I could have handled Persephone acting like a child for another whole book.
I can't believe I'm saying this, BUT there were too many sex scenes. There are 16 total, and more than half seem to be used to avoid important conversations between Hades and Persephone. Don't get me wrong, I love a good spicy scene, but not when it takes the place of important relationship development between our beloved main characters. Also, the sex scenes felt extremely rushed. But I think this might just be Scarlett St. Clair's writing style.
