I did enjoy this book, but I feel it could have been written better, it felt as if the sex was the main plot point, and it had an anti-climactic ending.  I didn’t really gain anything from reading it. If you are a lover of Hades and Persophone retellings, you will probably like this. Sure, it's not the worst book, but I probably won't be suggesting this to someone, unless they like smutty books. For a book that has reviews for being very sexy, and kinky, it's pretty tame.

Exactly what I was looking for in a romance book. I didn’t think I wanted something about the Greek gods but here we are. I loved it.

I’m going to be honest, it took me a while to get into this book. But once I did, I raced through.

We’ll get one thing out of the way first. Yes, this book is spicy. If it weren’t for the Greek Myth themes, I probably wouldn’t have picked it up. I’m not really mad about that though.

So let’s get into the plot. The concept of the 13 and their position in the world was pretty confusing to me. It takes a backseat to the spice in the book, which is probably why it doesn’t have time to develop. But in general, I’d love some more world-building.

I also got the ick from a few questionable bits of dialogue and actions. Some red flags were raised. Look at the content warnings if you want specifics. 

It’s hard to suspend disbelief when the characters in this world aren’t actually Greek deities. Instead, they’re kind of normal people, just with a lot of power and money.

Aside from that, Neon Gods offers a fun ride. It’s fast-paced and entertaining, and you can get lost in it pretty quickly. A good read if you can set aside misgivings and let go.

📖Neon Gods by Katee Robert📖

✨Book Review✨

A Modern Greek Mythology Spicy Retelling about Hades and Persephone.

That is all the synopsis you need to know because I want you to read it. This story may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I devoured every moment of it. It was oh so sexy and spicy and the romance was so perfect in my eyes. I would have rate it higher but somehow the details was blurred. I felt like it became contemporary at some point and I was looking for mythological references. But nonetheless, I love it.

If you like:
• Spicy - the level is 5/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
• Romance
• Fantasy
• Mythology/Conetemporary
• Political/Power Grabbing
• Betrayal

This might be the story you might be looking for. This is romance/spicy heavy plot — in my eyes. 🌶️☺️🥰 PS I have read Stone Heart as well. But this one NG>SH spice level.
