Loveable characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

okay this was a million times yes book for me. Was it the best book ever? No. But did I love it and have so much fun? Fuck yeah. Dark romance is my guilty pleasure! Hayden and Calista have my heart. Even though he’s crazy, I loved it. one of my favorite micro-tropes is a couple being both obsessed with each other. At first I honestly died laughing but overall loved the whole vibe. Honestly I’d love a Hayden, no shame (maybe a little). I WILL BE READING THE NEXT BOOK, huge cliffhanger btww *im still kicking my feet and giggling* this is for my girls who love their crazy book boyfriends, as do I.

“She is mine. My reason for feeling alive. My reason for feeling enraged. My reason for feeling anything at all.”

“If I give myself to you—” “When,” he interjects.

dark emotional mysterious tense

I honestly loved this. My guilty pleasure books are usually dark romance or some sort of smutty retelling. I enjoyed this. Half because of the story and just the vibes. My inner Wattpad teenager was screaming. I enjoyed the side characters, especially Hecate and Hermes. But Persephone and Hades have always been a favorite fictional couple of mine. It was more funny that I thought. I also enjoyed that even in a contemporary version, "New Greece" they spoke more like how you could expect, Hades and Persephone. I really enjoyed the dialogue and banter, just the relationship in general and I am a fan of Hades. I can't wait to read his version but I am not a huge fan of the third person writing style. I got used to it overtime but not my favorite. Also, the college storyline I feel like didn't have much of a point, as I have seen it discussed in other reviews but towards the end made more sense. The spicy scenes were enjoyable but not exactly what I had expected but still fun. Last thought is that I had an
After flashback when the bet plot was revealed but Hades is so husband I got over it.

On pure enjoyability alone, I love anything with hades and Persephone. I notice the millennial humor but in general , LO is so much fun.

DID NOT FINISH: 90%

I was obsessed during Covid but stopped one day, I think I rejoined the realm of people who don’t rot and read fanfiction. I honestly forgot it existed and one day started it again hoping to finish! Not happening. I love diving into emotion in reading but when i picked it back up i kept thinking for the love of god just say what you feel and let’s get the show on the road. NO HATE. i did really love it at the time for what it was, not my thing anymore. Final notes. Aven and Daytona Harry changed lives,  Daytona baby.
