Interesting modern twist on Greek mythology. There were some details left out of the world building that are bugging me a little bit but nothing I'd say that ruins the story. Interesting concept and enjoyable. 

As for the scenes, it is the very definition of "consent is sexy". It is a little heavy on the kink so maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but it is hands down the best portrayal I've seen of a healthy BDSM relationship. 

Overall, probably one of my favorite smut books. Looking forward to the next one.

I really enjoyed this take on Greek gods and was very happy with how consent was a main plot point in the story.

All the characters were very interesting and I thought the author did a good job of showing the Persephone and Hades dynamic as equal. Also I enjoyed the mention of them both being queer (although not labeled)

I actually wanted more information on the overall world, so hopefully I will learn more in the other books.

Tldr; I can’t believe I haven’t read Katee Robert before now! This was such a good dark romance.

I much prefer this version of Hades and Persephone over the version in A Touch of Darkness. Unique world building, compelling plot, interesting characters, and excellent spice. I only wish there'd been a little more exposition to really establish the villain as scary and threatening. Looking forward to reading the second one!
