She’s died a hundred times. He’s failed to save her every one.
BLOOM doesn’t know why her dreams drip with blood. Why the dead whisper her name. Or Nero Ravencrux—Forsaken Academy’s lethally beautiful, morally black heart—watches her like she’s both his salvation and his ruin.
She only knows:
Students who break the rules vanish.
Every redhead who looked like her is now a corpse.
She has a month until her twentieth birthday.
NERO is a god in a professor’s skin. For two thousand years, he’s watched Persephone–his Persephone–be reborn only to be slaughtered by the gods who hunt her for sport. This time, he built Forsaken Academy as a gilded cage to keep her alive. But Bloom is different. Fragile. Furious. And unraveling his lies as she digs into the murders of women with her face…women who are all her.
The Fates’ curse is clear: Remember, or this death will be her last.

What an incredible read! I was hooked from the very beginning and thoroughly enjoyed this dark academia retelling of Hades and Persephone.
The story was incredibly well-written, with an engaging plot, intriguing characters and undeniable chemistry between Hades and Persephone. The spice starts almost immediately, but it doesn’t overshadow the storyline. Instead, the romance, mythology and mystery work together beautifully to create a story that kept me completely invested.
I loved the darker elements of the story, particularly the morally grey characters and forbidden professor-student dynamic. There was plenty of tension, passion and intrigue throughout.
And that ending?! As someone who has absolutely no patience for cliffhangers, I was not prepared! However, I have to admit it was brilliantly executed. It ended at just the right moment to leave me desperate for answers and eager to dive straight into the next book.
An addictive, captivating read that delivered on both plot and spice. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!
I was hooked from the very beginning!
