Whaaaaaattttt just happened. These freakin cliff hangers man. Tate James is queen of cliff hangers. So much happened during this book that I didn’t see coming so I’m not going to read too much into how this one ended.

Bravo. Such a good story line! So many twists and turns. Cheering you on Hades!

Another amazing series! I would have given this five stars but if I’m being honest the constant sex was overkill. There was so. much. freaking. sex. To the point where it was getting boring, predictable and so over the top.

The story line and characters were amazing. I can’t decide if if I liked this series more or Madison Kate. The story line and the suspense kept me very intrigued. It was dark but not too dark!

100% lived up to all the hype!

I’m honestly sad it’s over and also very excited to start the next book! I had no idea what to expect, I didn’t read anything prior to starting this book. This is hands down the best fantasy book I’ve read to date!

It kept my attention from the beginning to end, has the best story line and the ending is money.

SO GOOD! This book was a bit of a slow burn in some spots but the story line was so good it kept me going! There may have been a few times I was a little over Violet and Xaden’s drama and yelled “get your shit together” but I also can’t blame them for their high emotions when they’re are all facing death pretty much daily.

I totally guessed the ending of one of the characters (I won’t spoil anything) and still shed some tears reading it all go down while I got a pedicure in a public place.

I gave this 3 stars because of Rocky and the ending. Otherwise it’s a solid 2 for me. 75% of this was brutal to sit through. So much science talk and a lot of story building. It just didn’t keep my interest until Rocky came into the picture and even then.

“Beauty and the Beast have nothing on us”.

Damn. Another great Tate James book. This one is a little darker then the other two series but so good. This was an easy one to read cover to cover!

Such a unique modern day story of Hades and Persephone. It’s different then anything I’ve read so far and I’ve really enjoyed it! I’m planning on bouncing back and forth between Persephone’s books (her POV) and Hades books (his POV) so I get both POV’s as I move through the story!

Another cliff hanger. Dang you Tate James!

This series is different from the first two Tate James series and I’ve enjoyed it!! The character are a little darker. Great story line as always and kept me on my toes!

A great book that I’ve read twice now. This is a beginners guide into diving in to your own inner-work aka “healing” journey. This is an easy read IMO and a book that I truly believe can benefit every human.

DNF. Got through 78%. I loved the concept of the modern day gods and goddesses but I’m struggling with the writing and the characters. I can not put my finger on what it is. I also feel a disconnect with the book being written in third person and not first person. I’m not getting the depth or the detail I have from other books which has made it hard to attach to the story line/characters and finish the book. Maybe one day I’ll come back (hard maybe), but I am moving past the Persephone and Hades series for now. Also I don’t love the audible narration so that didn’t help either.
