Publisher's summary

Persephone's relationship with Hades has gone public, and the resulting media storm disrupts her normal life and threatens to expose her as the Goddess of Spring.

Hades, God of the Dead, is burdened by a hellish past that everyone's eager to expose in an effort to warn Persephone away.

Things only get worse when a horrible tragedy leaves Persephone's heart in ruin and Hades refusing to help. Desperate, she takes matters into her own hands, striking bargains with severe consequences.

Faced with a side of Hades she never knew and crushing loss, Persephone wonders if she can truly become Hades' queen.

Contains mature themes.

Not Bad

It was an overall enjoyable story. The narrator does an amazing job telling it. However, the main character has some character flaws that found me yelling at her for her stupid decisions. All in all though, a good continuation of Hades and Persephone's story.

Wow, that escalated quickly. 😬

The amount of sh*t hitting the fan in this is overwhelming at times but it keeps you interested. Hermes is my favorite character ❤ for his sass and humor. I love the bonus content at the end of both books 😁 Book 3 needs to be out! 😭

I love this brilliant series!!

The author has an awesome imagination. I love mythology and this is an amazing spin on it! I am in Love with Hades 😍 lol.

The narrator really gets into the sex scenes! lol. My husband overheard a scene while I was listening to the book and he got wide eyed and ask what kind of books Ive gotten into 🤣 hahaha

Can't wait for more!!

loved but Persephone's character can be irritating

I loved the story but some aspects of Persephone's character contradicts itself. she blames others for her mistakes often and only has a moral compass depending on the situation. It was irritating at times. However, I love the spice and the love story. It's Hot and steamy!

Missing pieces

I gave this rating because I was reading along with the actual book and some parts of the book that I have is missing or there’s more that’s been added. I don’t know if it was because of a reprint or anything. I still like the storyline and following, Hades and Persephone. I can’t wait for the next book which I will start tomorrow.

Great listen, new characters introduced

The storyline was good, it added some new characters that I enjoyed watching them grow. I didn’t particularly like how whinny Persephone was for a bit but it gets better. Narration was amazing as was in the first book too! Love it.

Great continuation!

A great continuation of the story! It was very enticing and very sexy! I love the dynamics in their love, the balance of trust and understanding within their relationship. The demands and expectations they have for each other. I have so much love for this couple and how they counterbalance each other. I also like the twist it had with Apollo and then the kidnapping and even Persephone and her mother’s relationship, how real that could be without the magic, of course, but just as intense! Can’t wait for more!
