Consort of the Crime Queen

The Underworld Duet, Book 2

By: Persephone Black

Narrated by: Paige Reisenfeld, Aleksi Graves

The queen of Chicago's criminal underworld, Hadria "Hades" Imperioli, is no stranger to power and danger.

When she set Aurora Verderosa free, Hadria thought she was doing the right thing—for once in her life.

But now the only light in her dark world has been ripped from her, and Hadria faces a vulnerability she never knew.

As Hadria frantically searches the city's underbelly to save her lover, the Syndicate she leads becomes fractured, with some questioning her right to lead.

Hadria is forced to confront the idea that saving Aurora might mean giving up her criminal kingdom. But the crime queen is determined to reclaim her love—whatever it takes.

Can Hadria save Aurora and claim her forever?

Or will the darkness she revels in overtake her at last and destroy any chance at love?

Consort of the Crime Queen is the thrilling conclusion to the Underworld Duet, a steamy contemporary Sapphic mafia romance based (very) loosely on the myth of Hades and Persephone. For mature listeners.

"I'll stand by you" by the Pretenders is the perfect soundtrack for this story

I loved the two books! Would have been better if only one narrator had made both MCs voices. I don't understand why there were two narrators, tbh. I personally thought Paige sounded better, that low throaty, deep voice for Hadria made even my chest flutter more times than I can count. And her more soft voice for Aurora was also satisfying, without sounding like she was whispering or with a sore throat, like the other narrator. Don't get me wrong, the other narrator has a great range, with accents and all, very well done, but I didn't enjoy how similar both MC's voices sounded at time, specially where Hadria was concerned and for male characters as well...
Regardless, all in all I've thoroughly enjoyed listening to both books!
I recommend them to any wlw fans out there!

So so good

Ok it was so good that I need a book 3! The MCs are really the best mix of sweet and deadly which makes them the perfect couple. Lots of spice which was well written and realistic.

Loved it!

Really liked this book! I hope there's a 3rd book! I need to know who the stiletto person is!!!

Loves it!!

My favorite duet from this author. I enjoy all her books and love that all of her novels tie in together.

Will there be a third?

Good book. A few angsty moments and times that Aurora made me irritated. I am hoping there is a third book since this one ended on a cliffhanger.
