feb_books's review against another edition
adventurous
fast-paced
2.5
The premise is pretty interesting. Persephone becomes mortal, living in New York with no memories of her past. But, one day, f*cking Zeus kidnapped her and forced her to compete in a series of deadly trials for the position of Queen of the Underworld to become Hades’s wife, Again!? And Hades, with his smoky appearance and roller-coaster emotions, was no help at all.
I read it with an expectation that I would read a SMUT. (The book's cover is a hot man with six-packs wearing a latex collar, goddammit!) But the book gives me an action instead. Where’s the romance!? Where’s my SMUT!?
Hah, but, tbf, the trials were quite entertaining to read. And this is the first book of the trilogy. Maybe the romance and the spice will kick in in the second and third books. Let see...
