The Taking of Persephone Series: Hades

By: Ambrosia R. Harris

Narrated by: Benjamin P. Hawkins

“Careful what you say, Goddess,” he breathed, “I may not let you leave.”…
A wicked smile spread her lips once more, “Perhaps it is you who should be careful, my king.”

A breath-taking reimagining of the classic Greek Myth, for fans of Madeline Miller's Circe, Jennifer Saint’s Ariadne, and Scarlett St. Clair's A Touch of Darkness.

Hades, the King of the Underworld and God of the Dead, had a lonely existence in his realm. Meeting and judging the shades, attending the few meetings in Olympus, and spending as little time in the mortal realm as possible. That is until Thanatos goes missing, Elysium begins to decay, and he is stuck leaving his realm to collect souls on the fates' request.

His task was simple, retrieve Icarus and return.

But when he finds the young Goddess of Spring massacring a patch of wildflowers, he soon finds he is not the only Divine with Duality.

Over several chance encounters, he learns the sweet Goddess of Spring has far more to offer than dainty petals, and that her vengeance is just as insatiable as his.

In this second installment to The Taking of Persephone Series, we see Hades’ account of the events. Not just the same tale told twice over, but new Gods, new creatures, and new locations rediscovered from Hades’ eyes.

The Taking of Persephone Series is a mythological historical fiction set in times of antiquity that contains slight gore, crude language, and graphic sex scenes.

It is intended for an audience 18 or older, or whatever is considered a legal adult by the laws set by your own Government.

Just okay

Hades voice excellent! It really throws you off him doing Kore's voice. The wait for spice was LONG.

Very slow

I love a good Hades and Persephone retelling but this one didn’t meet my expectations unfortunately. It doesn’t pull you in. It’s very slow and no excitement until the very end and even then a bit disappointing.
