 Closed Door Mod: Chapters 18-22 (some parts), Chapters 24-27 (some parts), Chapter 29 (some parts) 

Most of what I liked about this book was the same from A Touch of Darkness, hence this being a shorter review. Though, I did like that there’s more of Hades’ POV and providing him with his own side plots instead of just merely recounting A Touch of Darkness from his POV.

Knowing Hades’s pov added to the appreciation and enjoyment of A Touch of Darkness, even if he was horny 80% of the time

Hermes is iconic, and Hades’s and Hecate’s friendship is adorable

but the audiobook narrator is horrendous, it’s like Siri had a baby with ai, he did Hades so dirty

This is Book 2 of the A Touch of Darkness Series, first book in the Hades Saga. I like how similar Hades’ thoughts are to Persephone’s in their conjoined scenes. Compared to A Touch of Darkness, Persephone seems more bold and confident here. I also like how Hecate and Hermes show up more! Hecate is the mother both Persephone and Hades needed.

I gobbled this up. Like the first book, it was a fun time but not a well-written time. Though this book definitely had more plot moving the story along (which I appreciated). However, the plot got lost at parts throughout the book. I also felt like the romance part of the book was less compelling and more horny. We also saw a little bit more of Hades’ dark side which fleshed out his character. I feel like the first and second books could have been combined and condensed to make a better story overall, but I’m not made I listened to this 12 hour audiobook.
