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.

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.

Excellent spice, Good story

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.

Read it read it red it!

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.

It’s ok
