Summary
He was supposed to be a myth. But from the moment I crossed the River Styx and fell under his dark spell... he was, quite simply, mine. Society darling Persephone Dimitriou plans to flee the ultra-modern city of Olympus and start over far from the backstabbing politics of the Thirteen Houses. But all that's ripped away when her mother ambushes her with an engagement to Zeus, the dangerous power behind their glittering city's dark facade. With no options left, Persephone flees to the forbidden undercity and makes a devil's bargain with a man she once believed a myth... a man who awakens her to a world she never knew existed. Hades has spent his life in the shadows, and he has no intention of stepping into the light. But when he finds that Persephone can offer a little slice of the revenge he's spent years craving, it's all the excuse he needs to help her—for a price. Yet every breathless night spent tangled together has given Hades a taste for Persephone, and he'll go to war with Olympus itself to keep her close...

Was hoping for more fantasy and Greek mythology not a sex novel

Overall the story line was pretty good. I wasn't expecting it to be as much of an erotica book as it was, but that didn't bother me so much. The climax (no pun intended) of the book was a little lack luster I feel more could have been done there. I also wasn't a huge fan of how many times they mentioned over and over the "time will come to and end" (will make more sense if yiu read the book, don't want to ruin it)it was far to repetitive. I would love some more backstory of the characters, maybe a spinoff?

Greek and Roman mythology lore brought into a different type of more modern settings of fantasy. Also sexy and can't put it down waiting on the next thing to happen. love it.

I always like the story of Persephone and Hades, but didn’t like how they tried to add cell phones and modern technology into the Roman times. Smut was off the charts just to warn the next reader! Not something to listen to when kids are around

Not bad but not good either, not enough fantasy for my tastes

The male narrator has the tendency to speak the female main character in a whiny voice. But as someone else has said: you get used to it. I liked the idea of the spin on the Greek myth.

Didn't expect a bad version of 50 Shades of Grey. Was a lot of sex (erotica) not Greek mythology. Just BAD!

I thought it was going to be more about mythological figures, but I ended up enjoying the story anyway. Fun to get lost in. I love the voice actors as well.

Out of all the Greek retellings this is just ok. Good for a quick romance listen but not something that I will reread/listen.

It’s not really my style… I wouldn’t have picked the book for myself, but overall it was okay.

I got a modern day mythical/political fifty shades of grey vibe from this haha. I enjoyed it but would say don't read it if -you find kinks and/or smut cringe -you think that Hades is going to be the bad boy rapy trend that seems to be going around - you are looking for a strong mythical/fantasy world. If you're expecting a Percy Jackson sort of thing with lots of magic, action and mythical creatures this won't be for you. That stuff was practically non existent. you might enjoy this book if you like kinky concentual smut, a dark gentleman main character, "villains" perspective, politics, a strong female protagonist, romance, and something different from traditional mythology. I enjoyed it but not sure if I will bother with the rest of the series. oh and the narrators were great!

Felt like very little plot involved, and a lot of sex scenes just for the sake of them. Also the female narrator’s Haides voice was awful.

I don’t know why they chose to make the narrators British, most of the vernacular is very American. Kinda takes you out of the story, might be a better read than a listen.

Hardly any world building, but I struggled to listen because of the female narrators male voices + the male narrators female voices were so bad.

Not for me. I normally hate to leave a book unfinished, but in this case with 6 hours remaining it was not worth the cringe.

i get the intrigue with the kink themes. it's definitely spicy, but i can't deal with the whole "the only way to save myself is public sex with a stranger" storyline

I did not know, from the synopsis, that this book was essentially 50 shades of Grey with Greek Mythology sprinkled in. I was not expecting the graphic sex. And worse, the narrator makes me cringe when she does her “Hades” voice. He sounds like a really old man and then that sounds really creepy with the smutty things he is saying. Very, very cringe worthy.

Not for me, though I was in when I read the synopsis. This is erotic fiction, so if you like that, try it. I don’t
