We’re almost to the end of this series, and the books just keep getting better! 
 
Content warning:  
There is explicit, on page, attempted (but ultimately unsuccessful) sexual assault in AGOG. There are also flashbacks to sexual assault, mentions of human trafficking, and the general death, murder, and alcoholism that Hades brings along for the ride.
 
AGOG is book 6 in the series, and the companion to A Touch of Malice, and boy oh boy, did Hades get up to some stuff while Persephone was off working. 
 
Side bar: Hades needs a therapist. Like…badly. 

Hades: God of the Dead Hades: God of Sad Bois & Brooding
 
AGOG was such an emotional and dense book, but I still zoomed through it. I loved it, it made me feel all the feels. From crying, to heart bursting, to raging, all of it. 
 
If you haven’t yet, you really need to read all 6 books in order before A Touch of Chaos comes out in November! The stories from Hades & Persephone’s worlds collide and we get multiple POVs in ATOC. 
 
I can’t wait for the conclusion to this amazing series. It’s bittersweet; I want to stay forever.
