This was a yummy mafia book. I love it when the tough guys fall hard and fast and everyone knows it but them. These guys can be so stubborn about love sometimes. I absolutely adore how strong of a personality Alessia is. She knows her worth and has no qualms about making sure others do too. I definitely want to know what happens next!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Oh. My. Gods. I loved this. Great modern take on Hades/Persephone. I was super interested how they were going to portray the 6 seeds for 6 months aspect of the original mythology and it was an interesting bargain for sure. The spice was HOTT. Who doesn’t love a consent king. It had all the feels. My favorite stories have me on emotional roller coasters and this one didn’t disappoint. If you’re a Rhysand or Xaden fan you’re going to adore Hades!! These are definitely going to be on my physical shelf soon… I prob won’t even wait to read em all first LOL

Ok so I wish it was a bit longer/meatier but great story. I loved the world building here. The heat and tension between the MCs is delicious. Lots of feels. The warring between desire and duty. Ugh! I just about bawled towards the end. Onward to book two!!!

Four and a half for sure! I’m not even mad about the cliffhanger… I usually hate them. I feel hungry for the answers instead of just frustrated. Onward to the next in series.

I really enjoyed this read. I’m a sucker for Phantom of the opera, which is why this caught my eye. The spice was great!

The narcissistic portrayal was well done. My mild experience isn’t with a SO but I still felt it was represented well.
I love when a protagonist and antagonist flip sides. It highlights that people aren’t always who they appear to be.
