Review:
~January 1st, 2023 - January 3rd, 2023~
This is one of my favorite Hades x Persephone retellings. It has a good amount of romance, suspense, and spicy moments. I definitely will reread in a later time.
~August 4th, 2023 - August 7th, 2023~
This was my second time rereading ATOD and just like the first time it was hard to put down especially while tandem reading. I am still in love with each of the characters. I loved the character development between Hades and Persephone. Hecate and Hermes are def my favorite characters outside of main characters. Lexa is also a favorite of mine. Everything about this series is chef kiss. I will definitely reread it again and again. It gave me Lore Olympus vibes but you can tell there’s distinct differences between the two that gives them their own categories.
Blurb:
"Let me worship you," he said.
She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. "You will worship me, and I won't even have to order you." His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it.
She answered, "Yes."
Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger.
Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can't resist.
After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows—a love that is both captivating and forbidden.
