About this listen

“Breathtaking, intense, and scorching hot, King of Shadows is the modern myth I’ve been waiting for.”—Skye Warren, New York Times bestselling author

A mysterious billionaire…

Hades owns a diamond mine, but he wants something money can’t buy—Persephone. The innocent young woman challenges his claim on her.

He’ll stop at nothing to have her.

The contract is binding.

The daughter of his enemy…

Persephone wants freedom more than anything. Instead, she falls into the hands of a ruthless businessman. He demands complete possession of her. Body. Mind. Soul.

He wants her submission. She demands his secrets.

Their sensual battle may break them both.

Dark and spicy. I don't know much about Greek mythology but I did enjoy Wilde's tale. On to the next one in the series.

not bad...

This entire book is one huge smut scene. There are so many holes in this story, that it's sickening. It skips details & gives you a bare minimum introduction, just to jump straight to smut. And it isn't even good smut. it's juvenile. Hades feels like a p3d0 and persephone is a 20 year old with no sense of the world. It ends on a cliffhanger and it's not enough to convince me to even read the next one. it's so bad. There is no depth at all to the characters & some of them I feel could've been left out because they serve no purpose. Almost DNF'd within the first hour. Should've. Don't waste your time.

I love this story and couldn’t wait to hear it in audio. The female narrator brought Persephone to life. You could feel the tension. The male narrator was good but I felt he was a bit old for Hades. Although, he definitely had the “Beast” voice needed. Overall it was enjoyable.

Well preformed

I always enjoy reading retellings of the Hades and Persephone myth. Naturally, I was thrilled to start reading this book. It turned out to be a fun read, and the steamy scenes were intense 🥵 However, it's not my favorite Hades and Persephone retelling. The story felt like it was missing something. Despite that, I still enjoyed the book. If you're into the sub-dom kink, I definitely recommend giving this book a read.

Both male and female were sick, one had no idea how to treat a woman and the other enjoyed it. I got half way through and had to stop listening. Also, if you want to continue the story you must purchase the next book. It’s not what I expected and I will not list to this author again.
The readers did a good job.

Disappointed

This is an alternate edition. The overall storyline is the same but the details are different than the original. It makes the second book very confusing. I had to buy the kindle version to read what actually happened, so the second book made sense. There should be warnings about this.

Not the right book

Another retelling but it's lacking. BDSM was added as a kink and spice but it's as if the author didn't know how to write Hades. In some areas he was dominant and in others he was an insecure vanilla non Alpha.

M/F, audible, BDSM, Hades retelling,
