Summary

Perséphone et Hadès sont fiancés。 En représailles， Déméter provoque une tempête de neige qui paralyse la Nouvelle-Grâce， et refuse de lever le blizzard si sa fille n'annule pas ses fiançailles。 Lorsque les Olympiens interviennent， Perséphone voit son avenir entre les mains des anciens dieux， qui sont divisés。 Doivent-ils permettre Perséphone d' épouser Hadès et partir en guerre contre Déméter， ou interdire leur union et prendre les armes contre le dieu des morts ？ Rien n'est sûr， sauf la promesse de la guerre。

Just finished this one。 Was dreading another book consisting of nothing but spicy scenes but Iw as surprised that this felt more heart felt and had more interaction than the previous 4 books I had read in this series put together。 Ended on a cliff hanger so I guess that means I'll have to wait to finish this completely。 Just finished this one。 Was dreading another book consisting of nothing but spicy scenes but Iw as surprised that this felt more heart felt and had more interaction than the previous 4 books I had read in this series put together。 Ended on a cliff hanger so I guess that means I'll have to wait to finish this completely。 。。。more

Band 3 hat mir wieder deutlich besser gefallen als Band 2。 Die Kommunikation zwischen Hades und Persephone verbessert sich und ich habe wirklich das Gefühl， dass sie beide an sich arbeiten。 Persephone ist oft noch etwas naiv und ich verstehe die Sprünge in ihrer Charakterwandlung manchmal nicht， da sie sehr oberflächlich bleibt。 Ganz im Gegensatz zu Hades der weiterhin ein perfekter Bookboyfriend ist und immer mehr dafür sorgt， dass er noch besser für sie wird 🥹 Außerdem ist er einfach 🔥！ Die Ne Band 3 hat mir wieder deutlich besser gefallen als Band 2。 Die Kommunikation zwischen Hades und Persephone verbessert sich und ich habe wirklich das Gefühl， dass sie beide an sich arbeiten。 Persephone ist oft noch etwas naiv und ich verstehe die Sprünge in ihrer Charakterwandlung manchmal nicht， da sie sehr oberflächlich bleibt。 Ganz im Gegensatz zu Hades der weiterhin ein perfekter Bookboyfriend ist und immer mehr dafür sorgt， dass er noch besser für sie wird 🥹 Außerdem ist er einfach 🔥！ Die Nebencharaktere und ihre Entwicklung gefällt mir auch sehr gut。 Ich dachte ich würde mit Band 3 das Finale der Reihe lesen und bin gerade am Boden zerstört， dass dem nicht so ist。 Bin wirklich gespannt auf Teil 4 und hoffe wir müssen nicht mehr all zu lange warten！ 。。。more

（0，25）⭐️Story & ContentI feel like the story got better in the end。 There was a huge cliffhanger， wich I love。 I feel like the story was a little more interesting than in the previous books。 A little more action。 But it's still nothing I like， it's just better。 There is way too much smut。 They can't be in eachother's presence without having sex。 It's really annoying。 I wish I could say what the plot and the meaning is of this book and the previous ones， but honestly， I can't tell you。（0，5）⭐️Char （0，25）⭐️Story & ContentI feel like the story got better in the end。 There was a huge cliffhanger， wich I love。 I feel like the story was a little more interesting than in the previous books。 A little more action。 But it's still nothing I like， it's just better。 There is way too much smut。 They can't be in eachother's presence without having sex。 It's really annoying。 I wish I could say what the plot and the meaning is of this book and the previous ones， but honestly， I can't tell you。（0，5）⭐️Characters & VaritionsI like to see that there are new friends， like Apollo， even though he's quite irritating at times。 Aphrodite as well。 There is okay variation honestly， The humans against the gods。（0，5）⭐️Descriptions & QoutesNothing amazing about the descriptions， although it's okay。Qoutes:"Changes of shape， new forms， are the theme which my spirit impels me now to recite。 Inspire me， O gods。。。and spin me a thread from the world's beginning down to my own lifetime。""Grief was a cruel god。""， all bets were off and the only bargin that mattered was the one she was willing to make with her heart。""What is the opinion of the world anyway？""You have so much more to offer than words。""Sometimes， it's very hard to exist in the place where you experience terror。""If you are worried that you will become evil， then you have more humanity than you think。""Training means nothing when it comes to animals。""I think she buried parts of herself so she could exist， but in doing so， nshe lost the part of herself that also lived。""We are all broken， --。 It's what we do with the broken pieces that matters。""That is hope。 The greatest enemy of man。""Sometimes it is hard to explain our actions when they are guided by our hearts。""Revange is sweet。"Did I enjoy it？Not really， I was more frustrated than enjoying myself。Would you read it again and recommend it？No and no。1，25/5 throns 。。。more

Increíble como Siempre aaaaaaunque me pareció que cambiaron la personalidad de persefone un poco no se。Persefone es muy fuerte， testaruda， confiada y en este libro la vi como sumisa， sin decir sus pensamientos tanto como antes。。。eso no me gustó Aunque en el final si volvió a ser ella :） y matenme con ese final como que a los titanes？？？ crono y esa gente del cocorocho？ Estamos fritos。

Ok much better than the second book。 Still a lot of issues with underdeveloped or out of the blue plot， but I enjoyed this book a lot more than A Touch of Ruin。 All in all， I know my rating system is probably arbitrary， but I rated this based off how much I enjoyed it not how good of a book it actually isI love that Persephone is coming into her power。 I love how Hades and Persephone‘s relationship is growing and evolving to be much more communicative and less annoying。。 I feel like how they exp Ok much better than the second book。 Still a lot of issues with underdeveloped or out of the blue plot， but I enjoyed this book a lot more than A Touch of Ruin。 All in all， I know my rating system is probably arbitrary， but I rated this based off how much I enjoyed it not how good of a book it actually isI love that Persephone is coming into her power。 I love how Hades and Persephone‘s relationship is growing and evolving to be much more communicative and less annoying。。 I feel like how they explore this stuff though is thrown together。 But can we acknowledge the absolute unrealistic nature of the sex in this series？？ I know this is the story about gods， but my suspension of disbelief can only go so far。 Hades has such great potential for plot and i think it’s squandered on dumb fights and weirdly unrealistic sex scenes。 。。。more

This book seemed to slow down some compared to the others。 While there were still small things happening it seemed like it didn’t really get intense until the last 50 pages or so。 It’s an easy， spicy type of read but that’s about it for me。 Persephone and Hades relationship is really just them saying “I love you” and then having sex and I really wish their relationship had a little more depth to it。 Persephone is definitely more mature and communicates more in this book but it seems like Hades s This book seemed to slow down some compared to the others。 While there were still small things happening it seemed like it didn’t really get intense until the last 50 pages or so。 It’s an easy， spicy type of read but that’s about it for me。 Persephone and Hades relationship is really just them saying “I love you” and then having sex and I really wish their relationship had a little more depth to it。 Persephone is definitely more mature and communicates more in this book but it seems like Hades started being the more difficult one this time around。 Hermes is by far my favorite character and I always love any part with him in it！ 。。。more

Bastante mejor que el segundo libro， me enganchó más。 Hermes maravilloso 💛。 Y sé que el amor de Hades y Perséfone es muy apasionado y demás pero siento que la autora pensaba algo tipo: "ya llevan 10 páginas sin hacerlo， toca meter una escena de sexo"。 Me gustan las escenas de sexo pero TANTAS me parece excesivo。 Bastante mejor que el segundo libro， me enganchó más。 Hermes maravilloso 💛。 Y sé que el amor de Hades y Perséfone es muy apasionado y demás pero siento que la autora pensaba algo tipo: "ya llevan 10 páginas sin hacerlo， toca meter una escena de sexo"。 Me gustan las escenas de sexo pero TANTAS me parece excesivo。 。。。more

This one really amped up the action。 A lot of their sex scenes felt forced， like， "OMG TRAUMA， let's fuck。" The series plot was meandering in the earlier books with too subtle events， but this one brought things to a head （and yes， Hades got lots of that 😉） This one really amped up the action。 A lot of their sex scenes felt forced， like， "OMG TRAUMA， let's fuck。" The series plot was meandering in the earlier books with too subtle events， but this one brought things to a head （and yes， Hades got lots of that 😉） 。。。more

DNF - The story lost pace。 Persephone & Hades can’t seem to communicate without sex。 Hades basically became a sex toy。 Just insufferable。 10/10 do not recommend unless you don’t want your books to have substance。

Smutty and action packed， loving it！ There are endless smut scenes between Hades and Persephone， I think I'm becoming more familiar with his cock than my other half's！The 2nd part of the book is more action packed。 And the Olympians， I knew they were complete asshats but this is definitely more cemented in this book。Persephone is a little less whiny， a little more broken which I find more realistic。 And the ending， shiiiiit。 I don't want to wait for the next book！ I'm absolutely gutted it isn't Smutty and action packed， loving it！ There are endless smut scenes between Hades and Persephone， I think I'm becoming more familiar with his cock than my other half's！The 2nd part of the book is more action packed。 And the Olympians， I knew they were complete asshats but this is definitely more cemented in this book。Persephone is a little less whiny， a little more broken which I find more realistic。 And the ending， shiiiiit。 I don't want to wait for the next book！ I'm absolutely gutted it isn't out yet。 。。。more

Sin dudas mejoró mucho en comparación al anterior。 Y si bien tuvo partes en las que me aburrí un poco， tengo que destacar que gracias al universo， el comportamiento de Persefone cambia haciendo que el libro sea más tolerable。Hay mucho más romance， acción， combate y sorpresas。 Sinceramente no es de mis sagas favoritas pero tiene algo que hace que siga。。。 que no la abandone como a otras， es fácil de seguir， de leer， y obviamente te deje con un final de infarto esperando a la cuarta y última parte。

my favourite of the series， 4。5 stars。 There was just too much smut and it took away from the storyline sometimes

3。5/5 starsAgain， the ending really saved this book。 Huge cliff hanger which I knew going in， but it's everything I want in a suspenseful ending。 I can also tell that her writing is getting slightly better with each book。 However， this book definitely could've been much shorter。 A lot more needless smut （trying to be 50 shades） than the last 2。 I was undecided about halfway through if I would finish the series。 After this ending， though， I definitely will be reading the last one。 3。5/5 starsAgain， the ending really saved this book。 Huge cliff hanger which I knew going in， but it's everything I want in a suspenseful ending。 I can also tell that her writing is getting slightly better with each book。 However， this book definitely could've been much shorter。 A lot more needless smut （trying to be 50 shades） than the last 2。 I was undecided about halfway through if I would finish the series。 After this ending， though， I definitely will be reading the last one。 。。。more

Out of all the books in the series this one was my favorite。 Hades and Persephone had so many ups and downs in this book， which just added to the plot。 I feel like Persephone really developed in this book and we got to see her grow into who she is。 I loved the amount of action that this book had， which helped to add to the fantasy aspect of the book。 I highly recommend reading this whole series just to get to this book， because it definitely earned the rating I gave it。 I really can't wait for t Out of all the books in the series this one was my favorite。 Hades and Persephone had so many ups and downs in this book， which just added to the plot。 I feel like Persephone really developed in this book and we got to see her grow into who she is。 I loved the amount of action that this book had， which helped to add to the fantasy aspect of the book。 I highly recommend reading this whole series just to get to this book， because it definitely earned the rating I gave it。 I really can't wait for the next book to come out to see where the story ends with this cliffhanger。 。。。more
