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.

So good

I really enjoy the series of Hades and Persephone because it's got a modern twist to an ancient story there's darkness intertwined with light which to me is beautiful because honestly in our world today you can't have light without the dark. I just adore how Hades loves and worships her it's very easy to fall for a man like that. I can also really relate to Persephone with her insecurities and her doubts and her way of trying to fit in and find herself in this world we all go through something like that so it's just very easy to connect with the story and the characters and it's really good story even if they're sad moments.

Great story but audio isn’t the same as the hard copy.

I read and listen to the audiobook at the same time because I have severe dyslexia. The audiobook is very different from the physical copy of the book. Other than that love the story!

Steamy Ride Home 🚙🎧📚

I totally understand other people's reviews where they say that the main female character was annoying, but we must remember that she is young. The patience that Hades shows her is one that one gets when dating an older gentleman. I appreciate that he reminds her that she will grow and learn in time. Many things that bother us about her are because of her naïveté and her inability to process things without added emotion; this will get better with age and experience. Now, let's talk about those sex scenes 🌶🌶🌶 OMG, those were extremely hot, and the narrator did an AMAZING job!!
I look forward to continuing this story and hope that there is a happily ever after for all.

A reminder this series is for adults. Not YA

Orgasmic

This story is full of love and love making. Their relationship has grown and become more. I have to continue the series to see where it leads.

Love this series!!!

Don’t understand the P hate really, every character in this has their moments. Good continuation! Spicy scenes became a bit much towards the end but still always good. Reading #3 now, can’t wait for the next one!

I’d burn the world for you!

Ugh I caught myself becoming extremely irritated with Persephone at times a lot throughout the 1st and 2nd parts of this book. But I had to remind myself such as Hades did that she is young, sheltered and emotionally inexperienced. I understood her reasonings and reactions as we’ve all been there, but still irritating all the same. However towards the middle-end of the book I was relieved to see her realize her faults and where she’d been irrational and wrong. My heart broke with her when she finally realized what Hades had meant when he told her the fate she had bestowed upon her best friend. My heart couldn’t help but break with her. I can’t help but be anxious of an impending war.

A touch of ruin

This series is one of my favorite Greek mythology series to read and I love the way the narrator puts the emotions of the characters into her voice as she reads through the story
