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.

Good read, even better narrator

The narrator is what made these books so good. She read with such passion. Pretty good series, excited for the third book to come out

I love the series

I love the series and performance here, but good gods Persephone is incredibly obnoxious in this book. It kept making me want to skip chapters because of how selfish and bratty she would be.

Good concept

Overall I enjoyed the story. My only gripes are Persephone was too whiny and there was waaaayyyy too many sex scene. I’m all for the sex when it calls for it but geez there were so many times the story was interrupted because of it.

Enjoyed it more that the first one (if that’s possible)

I’ve loved listening to this audiobook. Being able to follow along each character’s story has been a delight but above all, Meg Sylvan’s performance has been outstanding. In the first book I missed having a male voice giving life to the male characters (even though Meg’s execution is flawless), but in this one I’ve truly embraced her voice and now I can’t imagine another person voicing the male characters.
10/10 🩶

A woven story of the gods

Enjoyable story of the gods and the universe that they live in. I enjoy this preference of the reader.
