this would’ve easily been a 5 star read if it was at least 250 pages shorter. don’t get wrong, the plot was interesting and zenodarla were swoon-worthy and served boy-and-girl-obsessed x100 BUT! it felt too drawn out and i was underwhelmed that i figured out the plot twist when i was barely on page 200 and then in disbelief when i realized that i still had 350+ pages left. when i got 60% in, i had to push myself to continue the story because i’d already read 350+ pages and i’m too stupid stubborn to dnf. also, if i had to guess, approximately 100+ pages of this was just zeno and darla going at it like rabid dogs and it got so tiring very quickly.
overall, even with this being a hot retelling of hades and persephone, it makes me sad how underwhelming this was because i really tried to love this. but it just wasn’t for me.
zeno gianni de la croix, the man that you are. when is it my turn?

The sort of “twist” felt very predictable and that was a little annoying. Also would it kill a guy to tell the truth and not keep important things hidden, like that’s your wife man how are you want to be able to have a good relationship if you don’t communicate!! Additionally, I hate men who are overly possessive like it’s cute to an extent.
