Interesting modern twist on Greek mythology. There were some details left out of the world building that are bugging me a little bit but nothing I'd say that ruins the story. Interesting concept and enjoyable. 

As for the scenes, it is the very definition of "consent is sexy". It is a little heavy on the kink so maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but it is hands down the best portrayal I've seen of a healthy BDSM relationship. 

Overall, probably one of my favorite smut books. Looking forward to the next one.

I really enjoyed this take on Greek gods and was very happy with how consent was a main plot point in the story.

All the characters were very interesting and I thought the author did a good job of showing the Persephone and Hades dynamic as equal. Also I enjoyed the mention of them both being queer (although not labeled)

I actually wanted more information on the overall world, so hopefully I will learn more in the other books.

This book was a great re-telling of modern day Olympus. The sexy scenes were super HOT, creative and kinky. The characters were great, I love the creativity like cerebus being 3 puppies. I think it has a great ending but my favorite aspect is that Zeus is just as much of an asshole as he was at that time and everyone calls him out on it, I HATE ZEUS, so it made me happy that a majority of the characters in the book did as well.

Wow 😏 I’m not usually into super spicy books but I thought this one had a good level, where it focused more heavily on the plot but still added quite a bit of 🔥 in the last 2/3’s. I wasn’t too keen on the fact that it was a very modernized retelling but I loved the concept as a whole. I loved Hermes as a side character!! And otherwise, yeah there were flaws and cliches, but I don’t think that’s what most of us were paying attention  to… 
Anyway yeah I’ll read anything Hades and Persephone even if I know it’ll be a bit out of my comfort zone. And in this case, going out of my comfort zone was rewarded!

I liked this book because it was enjoyable, but that is about all the reason I have. The plot isn't great. Not sure if it just wasn't planned out well enough or if the pace was too fast, but there are definitely plot holes. If you like spicy books this is a good option, but the plot is lacking. 

I will say I liked the Greek gods twist.
