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.

WoW!

Scarlett St.Clair wrote this with so much detail! it was impossible to stop listening. I'm addicted to her books. Dont ever stop writing!

Great story and an amazing performance

I will be listening this book again. I hope the use the same narrator for the following books!

Excellent spice, Good story

Great spicy book 👍 Only complaint is that some of the transitions aren't great. The gods are able to teleport and it can be a little jarring if you're not paying attention.

Read it read it red it!

This is the first “adult” book I’ve ever read. I’m 26 and have been in love with YA books my entire life but as a mom of two now I could no longer emotionally relate to 15 year olds falling in love lol.
A Touch of Darkness was the perfect transition book and introduction into this amazing world. 10/10.

Will read over and over

one of the best stories of hades and persephone I have read/heard yet, right next to lore Olympus on webtoon. I just adore it.

loved it

excited for the rest of the series. really like the new take on the hades and persephone tale.

a good read

I did enjoy the book but wish that the story was less chaotic. Loved the spicy and sass between Hades and Persephone.

Sexy and fun

Love this story! Enjoyed the steamy chemistry between hades and persephone!

Also loved how the author made Persephone relatable!

Loved it!

At first the 3rd person aspect bugged me but as I listened I really enjoyed the story and the narrator was fantastic!

It’s ok

I personally liked the book it was a good retelling of the tale. Of course there were mistakes Persephone makes everything such a big deal. She also was so indecisive.
