A Touch of Darkness

It would be more of a 2.5 if that existed. Liked it enough to finish it, but not so much as to truly 'like' it. The worldbuilding was actually interesting, the concept of a war between the mythical gods and humans attractive and well-worth exploring. However, the story gets stuck in the relationship between the protagonists, and nothing entirely original happens there. Maybe what bothered me the most was the 'bet' arc, it's the silliest, least innovative plot twist ever, and reminded me of stories like 'After', and I remember rolling my eyes the moment I heard it. The story wasn't picking up at all, and that just plunged it into the ground, so to speak. So, all in all, it was ok, but I'm happy I bought it in a 2x1 deal, or would've been greatly disappointed.

Really enjoyed both the book and the narration. The bargain that ties them together is a little flimsy IMHO, but other than that, this is a solidly satisfying romance. And the narrator does a great job with all the different voices.

It pulled me in and I was hooked. Love it

Love the series. Definitely not a huge fan of “hades voice”, but otherwise I really enjoyed all of the books.

Love this book! A fun modern twist on Greek mythology and romantasy with spice. Would definitely read more in the series and by this author.

loved it. narrator was wonderful and story was great

Loved the story

very nice and understanding

The main character is insufferable. She’s such a bad person and everyone around her just takes her shit. Omg. She makes problems that aren’t there and is so ungrateful.

This was a great listen! I couldn’t step away once I started listening!

Absolutely love this whole series!

This was my first Greek retelling and I liked it. Cute book ☺️

Loved the story the narrator is good too. Definitely reading the other books in the series.

It was a good book. I enjoyed listening

This book is drool worthy. Absolutely enticing, I listened to it in two days.

Not my favorite book. Also bot really the genre I care to read. It kept my interested though.

The narrator was great! I would listen to just about any book she narrated. The story itself was enticing easy to get into and left you wanting more.

Love the book and the narrator did a great job will definitely continue on with a series.

Pageturning easy read if you just want to escape into a romance/fantasy. But still searching for the book that covers hades and persephone well. The underworld should be dantes inferno style epic. How can writers make it so bland.

loved this book

I like the book but I don't care for the narrator because I read A touch of fate and a touch of vengeance first and I liked the narrator that did that better. I get the point of writing the book from Persephone's point of view. however, to me it was mostly just a repeat of the same story but it's still good.

Love the book! The narrator does a great job.

A wonderful new spin on an old Greek myth, very well written, great character set up, beautiful language, very tasteful sex scenes! The narration by Meg Sylvan is „honey for your ears“, her voice is the perfect match for this book. I will add Scarlett to my favourite authors in this genre. 5 stars from me.

Pretty much a variety of “50 shades” with Greek mythological characters. I’m made it to the end but wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re really into that kind of plot with so-so writing.

Good story line, fun banter. I’m over books that are flat and one dimensional. This one kept me hooked. I was glad that there was more to the main character than just someone who needed a man in her life to complete her.

This was a fun book with great writing and a fun plot line. I really enjoyed the characters and narration.

If there was a way to give a negative star rating , I would have used it here , total and complete rubbish , it was a free choice or I’d be livid if I actually paid for this rubbish , have tried multiple time to listen but it’s too nauciatimg , in fact I don’t think there are words in the English language to describe the total utter rubbish , so I’ll use a Hellenic phrase , this is total malakia .

this book dragged me in to a different world of fantasy. I had to finish the book as soon as I started listening I carried on to listen to the other 2 books as well. amazing and fantastic except from really life

I absolutely loved this story! The modern twist to an age old tale was delightful to listen to. The narrator does a great job at bringing the characters to life. If you enjoy Greek mythology and romance this is definitely the story for you! I look forward to listening to more of Hade's & Persephone's story.

I really enjoyed this book and already started on the second book.

very good book, different from what I expected but certainly not bad

I enjoyed this book so much! Was hesitant on giving it a read but once I started I could not put the book down! The narrator did a great job as well!

A good book!

The story had great romance. It would have been nice to be a bit more dramatic or mysterious. But overall a great listen and am excited to hear more of their story. I wasn't a fan of the narrator's "manly" voice. It just didn't do Hades justice - or any of the male characters really. It would've been nice to just have it read without trying to be a man.
