Summary

Perséphone n'est la déesse du printemps qu'en titre。 Depuis qu'elle est toute petite, les fleurs se ratatinent à son contact。 Après s' être installée à New Athens, elle espérait mener une vie discrète, dans la peau d'une journaliste mortelle。 Tout change lorsqu'elle s'assied dans une boîte de nuit clandestine pour jouer une partie de cartes avec un étranger hypnotique et mystérieux。

Hadès, le dieu des morts, a bâti un empire du jeu dans le monde des mortels et ses paris favoris sont réputés impossibles。 Mais rien ne l'a jamais intrigué autant que la déesse qui lui offre une aubaine laquelle il ne peut résister。 Après sa rencontre avec Hadès, Perséphone se retrouve liée par un contrat avec le Dieu des morts, et ses conditions sont impossibles : Perséphone doit créer la vie dans le monde souterrain ou perdre sa liberté à jamais。 Le pari ne se limite cependant pas à exposer l'échec de Perséphone en tant que déesse。 Alors qu'elle s'efforce de semer les graines de sa liberté, son amour pour le Dieu des ténèbres grandit - un amour à la fois envoutant et interdit。

Omg the angst, tension and the overall deliciousness is one of the many things that caused me to rate this book 5/5。 I recommend you read it right now。 Go now!!

An interesting retelling of Hades and Persephone

2。75 / 5 starsThis was an okay read。 I wasn't very invested in the actual romance, but I enjoy reading about Greek gods in a modern setting and I liked how it was done in this one。 Will probably pick up book 2 eventually, but since this was a bit of a 'meh' read, I'm not in a rush to do so。 2。75 / 5 starsThis was an okay read。 I wasn't very invested in the actual romance, but I enjoy reading about Greek gods in a modern setting and I liked how it was done in this one。 Will probably pick up book 2 eventually, but since this was a bit of a 'meh' read, I'm not in a rush to do so。 。。。more

It had its 3 star fun moments at first, (which was largely down to the fact it was a modern retelling) and was going to rate it a 2 until I hit the last act… All I will say is I felt it was a lazy round off, or maybe the author just didn’t know how to tie things up better。 Also didn’t know it was an explicit, so went in there expecting a strong romance to build but instead it quite quickly turned … physical 😅 Which personally ruins plot tension!

It felt rushed at the end ,i would have loved a lot of things would be a bit different but it was an enjoyable book regardless。I would have loved if didn't feel like scratching the surface of every character and never going deep enough。 It just wasn't enough,yk?

Tenía las expectativas muy altas sobre este libro y terminé un poco decepcionada, la verdad。

It got a little better as it went on but it was toooo modern of a retelling for me

I didn't know much about Persephone, other than her name, when I started this。 I've always been fascinated my mythology, but of Greek Mythology books, I've only read Percy Jackson。 I must say, I love Percy Jackson way more - from everything about the characters, to the plot。I could have maybe liked the gods interacting with each other, but no。 There were mostly Hades and Persephone, a little Hermes, Demeter and a few others。I don't think Persephone was a good character。 I kind of hated her, actu I didn't know much about Persephone, other than her name, when I started this。 I've always been fascinated my mythology, but of Greek Mythology books, I've only read Percy Jackson。 I must say, I love Percy Jackson way more - from everything about the characters, to the plot。I could have maybe liked the gods interacting with each other, but no。 There were mostly Hades and Persephone, a little Hermes, Demeter and a few others。I don't think Persephone was a good character。 I kind of hated her, actually, most of the time。I almost sometimes liked Hades, but mostly I didn't。Lots of things in this book didn't make sense。What else?

Puntuación 4/5 ⭐Spicy 4/5🌶Para salir de un bloqueo, este libro lo tiene todo, si bien el desenlace un poco suelto a mi parecer, lo demás me encantó。 El desarrollo de ambos personajes uff pero mas el de Hades🤧💕, Persefone tiene mi corazon, diosa, divina, aunque si deseé que se desarrollara mas sksks。 Btw, amé demasiado esta pareja y me lo acabé al toque lpm sksks no me duró ni dos días, sin duda los extrañaré。🥲

Obsessed with hades !!! To me scarlet st Clair captured exactly how I imagined hades to be ! The spice is amazing, plot is well thought out and executed。 I recommend this series to everyone !!!

I love this book

It’s my second time reading this book I like it so much for some reasonsPersephone and hades are cute and they desire each other’s in a dark and beautiful way

Olivia Bair

Really well written, the characters are pretty defined。 Enjoyable smut。

While I enjoyed the premise, and am always a fan of re-tellings, this one missed the mark for me。 2/5 spicy peppers, only because there's a lot of tension and buildup, but I had hoped for an awful lot more when things actually went down。 The characters all felt predictable and I found Persephone rather annoying at points。 Which wouldn't have bothered me, but it meshed weirdly with Hades。 IMO if you want a really good re-telling, read Lore Olympus。 The characters are much better-rounded, and the While I enjoyed the premise, and am always a fan of re-tellings, this one missed the mark for me。 2/5 spicy peppers, only because there's a lot of tension and buildup, but I had hoped for an awful lot more when things actually went down。 The characters all felt predictable and I found Persephone rather annoying at points。 Which wouldn't have bothered me, but it meshed weirdly with Hades。 IMO if you want a really good re-telling, read Lore Olympus。 The characters are much better-rounded, and the art style is lovely - it's a graphic novel/comic collection。 I found myself flipping through the last few chapters because I just didn't care anymore。 Glad I finished it, but will not be purchasing the other books in the series。 。。。more

Definitely spicy, at times felt like a bit much。 Writing was solid meh。 I feel like a lot of details were missed and definitely a lack of world building。 The romance part was the main reason to keep me going。 Very simple easy read and spice fix。

"Respect could build an empire。 Trust could make it unbreakable。 Love could make it last forever。" I've always enjoyed retellings of Greek gods。 And I did enjoy this book。 However I can only tolerate so much language and sex。 So it brought down the rating for me。 My interest was in how their relationship would develope and see how hatred on Persephone's side could be changed as the story progressed。 Though there was some, the lust myred it。 The side characters were quickly pushed aside and I wan "Respect could build an empire。 Trust could make it unbreakable。 Love could make it last forever。" I've always enjoyed retellings of Greek gods。 And I did enjoy this book。 However I can only tolerate so much language and sex。 So it brought down the rating for me。 My interest was in how their relationship would develope and see how hatred on Persephone's side could be changed as the story progressed。 Though there was some, the lust myred it。 The side characters were quickly pushed aside and I wanted more it。 Hades being ancient, I hoped for a lot of wisdom to teach Persephone, but that was lost too。 So though it was a fast read (some of which I skipped due to disinterest in their more illicit times) I was sad more depth wasn't given to these characters。 So if you enjoy Greek gods and moments of intense lust, this is all for you。 I probably won't be moving on through the series though。 。。。more

more of a 4。5 rating。 i’ve always liked greek mythology so i enjoyed the book。 it was really good i love the characters。 storyline was good。

OK have to say the only reason I was intrigued in this book was I really enjoy mythology but don't have huge knowledge of the "real" stories so didn't have anything to compare to but I LOVED THIS!! Really easy read , there wasn't a huge amount of world building but for me it worked pretty well in a sense that its based in a modern day setting so the contrast may have been too much? Maybe that's just me。 I was instantly hooked after the 1st chapter and really enjoyed the writing style。 I just wis OK have to say the only reason I was intrigued in this book was I really enjoy mythology but don't have huge knowledge of the "real" stories so didn't have anything to compare to but I LOVED THIS!!

I finished this book, but it was such a struggle for me because I really didn't enjoy it。 The writing felt kind of rushed and I didn't warm to Persephone at all。 I finished this book, but it was such a struggle for me because I really didn't enjoy it。 The writing felt kind of rushed and I didn't warm to Persephone at all。 。。。more

3。5 porque me aburrió en muchas partes, pero al final Hades me hizo querer seguir leyendo

Shauna Biggs

It was an okay read。 Not hard to get through, which is the only reason I gave it two stars。 Everything was extremely predictable, more smut than actual story line。 It had a lot of potential, but I didn’t love it。 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ my real rating would be 2。5 but that’s not an option。 Couldn’t bring myself to give it 3。

Fun, light-hearted take on Hades/Persephone。 Will most likely get the other books in the series。 It's very much a popcorn book, though--not much substance but so tasty you can't resist。(Long read-time is due to unexpected illness and about a month where I couldn't do ANYTHING。) Fun, light-hearted take on Hades/Persephone。 Will most likely get the other books in the series。 It's very much a popcorn book, though--not much substance but so tasty you can't resist。(Long read-time is due to unexpected illness and about a month where I couldn't do ANYTHING。) 。。。more
