So good!! I loved the worldbuilding in this, it was such a good mix between modern myths & the original ones, the easter eggs were A+ Hades is so protective while still having that touch of Darkness™ and it was so delicious to see Persephone tap into her (more dark than expected) powers. We need more romances that are series, I'm so ready to continue with this (though I wouldn't mind some more stories in this universe) (Apollo & Sibyl PLEASE)

A very cliche plot line with such fantasy romance tropes as “ancient being pursues inexplicably alluring 20-something-year-old” but made up for by the excellent tension building and chemistry. Also slightly less creepy than usual when you consider both main characters are immortal gods and one is just younger.

This book was fun for a quick read. I’ll probably read the follow up books. It’s not amazing, but engaging enough. The sex scenes do get a bit repetitive and the pacing goes a bit too quick at times.
