Publisher's Summary

Persephone's relationship with Hades has gone public, and the resulting media storm disrupts her normal life and threatens to expose her as the Goddess of Spring.

Hades, God of the Dead, is burdened by a hellish past that everyone's eager to expose in an effort to warn Persephone away.

Things only get worse when a horrible tragedy leaves Persephone's heart in ruin and Hades refusing to help. Desperate, she takes matters into her own hands, striking bargains with severe consequences.

Faced with a side of Hades she never knew and crushing loss, Persephone wonders if she can truly become Hades' queen.

Contains mature themes.

A nice sequel

I enjoyed the sequel in the way it rounded out the original book, included more gods/esses and made a nice visual for the community surrounding. A few PerHades scenes could have been chosen to appear more selected (after some traumatic scenes, they seemed misplaced). Persephone’s control and exploration of power would have been a better storyline than the Janitor/Maintenance man but overall, it was enjoyable and looking forward to book 3.

Great story line, even better story telling

The book was well written, of course the raunchy bits were great but so is the love aspect too. I hope there’s going to be more as I just binge listened to both books in this series and can’t wait!
The narrator made this audio book for me, she so perfectly feels what the characters are feeling which entangles you more in the story.

Excited for more

This book gave more wrath that is expected from the Gods. I truly enjoyed the first two but this book showed Persephone coming into her own power. The writing is incredible and can’t wait for more

Loved this story

Persephone certainly needed the harsh lessons….she pain in the butt but the story was full of laughs from the other Gods and sadness… a good lesson for us in that all actions have consequences….. the narrator is brilliant

I loooove it, but...

if you get frustrated with MCs making dunb af decisions a lot, it might be rough trying to get through this one. It's a great story and preformed very well, but there were some points where I just had to groan in annoyance.

Enjoyable

This audio books is good, the story is enjoyable and you will find yourself feeling happy, sad and shocked at the characters. At times Persephone can seem about bratty, but overall I enjoyed this. I particularly loved Hermes and Apollo.
