A Touch of Darkness

Hades & Persephone Series, Book 1

De: Scarlett St. Clair

Narrado por: Meg Sylvan

Persephone is the Goddess of Spring by title only. The truth is, since she was a little girl, flowers have shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hopes to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist.

Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible.

After a chance encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead and the terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever.

The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows - and it's forbidden.

Contains mature themes.

Narrator was hard to listen to.

I'm only a few chapters in and I cannot stand the narrator. You're better off buying the book. The attempt at male voices is terrible, she makes them sound "posh" and stuck up. I don't know.... I'm going to buy the book and read it for myself.

Very spicy

Overall I really enjoyed this read. It was very spicy. If you enjoy Greek mythology, this is perfect with super spicy and blushing moments. Recommend!!!

LOVED it

I have been searching for something new to listen to while doing my work around the house and outside. Against the first review I went for it anyway. The story is beautiful and keeps you on the edge of your seat just enough but leaves you satisfied and wanting for more!

A better alternative

I loved the story line. So different and positive. Exactly how the story should be told, rather than the greek tragedy. I gave it 4 stars as the love scenes were long and drawn out
Believe me I like mommy porn,but I ff over the scenes boaring. That said I'm looking forward to listening to the next book. Well Done!❤️

Greek mythology

Good book, lots of sex scenes. I liked this version of the myth. Going to read more of the series.

Love it

If you read any review read this one ... it is amazing and full of laughs and joys and sorrow and love and passion and leaves you wanting more!!! Take a chance and read this just like I did and fall in love with love

Great Story

It was a good story, different than the rest. The narrator's voice was very enjoyable.

Delicious

I absolutely love this new version of Hades and Persephone. I love the way she writes her characters and brings them to life. And the way it’s read by Meg Sylvan could not have been better. Absolutely tantalizing. I can’t wait to dive into the next book!

Amazing

I loooved this book series! I would say my only complaint is that the MC is a bit whiny in the first book and she gets herself into all kinds of trouble for no reason. I found myself slapping my forehead after some scenes.. but Hades’ character definitely made up for it. The narration caught me off guard in the beginning, but after a short adjustment to the male voices and learning the nuances of each character, it was simply wonderful!

Highly recommend

I absolutely love love love this series! Narrator also did an amazing job! I loved listening to her. The combination of amazing and fun Greek mythology and amazing narration is absolutely worth it!
