Which, *HAHA*, I knew going into it, it was. My main problem with this book was that is was A Touch of Darkness from Hade's POV. Why is the only good thing about these books, that are soooooo hyped up, that I can come up with is "I didn't hate it." Ugh. When I saw that there was a Hade's POV, my hope was that it would make me like A Touch of Darkness more. Typically, I enjoy switching POV's, It can be interesting to see a situation through another characters eyes, and it intensifies the romance when you experience it from both characters. If you are looking for a spicy Greek mythology retelling, then I think you should check out A Game of Fate.I'm not planning on getting too deep into this. Honestly, I think I liked this one a little more than I liked Neon Gods.
I do have the sequel novel, A Game of Retribution, ready because I accidentally bought the second book before the first. The chemistry was fantastic and felt a little more natural. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t talk about the spicy scenes and they were wonderfully spicy.
The world building is still not exactly to my taste but it makes a bit more sense in the context of this book, as opposed to A Touch of Darkness. Hades’ side of the story is far more interesting and has plenty of intrigue with several criminal and magical elements. Clair characterizes Hades and Persephone in this novel. I much preferred the way that Scarlett St. This book was significantly better than I thought it would be. Realizing how deeply in love he is, Hades is determined to prove that he is worthy of Persephone, even if it means defying the Gods and Fates alike. Passion ignites between them as they clash and Persephone challenges Hades in ways he never imagined. Persephone, though, is an ambitious journalism student who is determined to expose Hades’ darkness.
Hades’ world is turned upside down when the Fates tell him that he is destined to be with Persephone, the Goddess of Spring. His nightclub is the place to go to bargain with one’s life in exchange for power and immortality. (This book is for 18+ readers, so find another review.)Ĭontent Warning: Explicit Sexual Content, Some Graphic Violence, Some Harsh LanguageĪs the God of the Underworld, Hades has carefully curated a fearsome reputation among the Olympians and mortals alike. The premise of this book felt much more mature and refined so I decided to give it a shot.
This particular series, however, is the same story but told through the point of view of Hades instead. I found it very juvenile and felt akin to something you might read on WattPad. Clair’s other Hades/Persephone romance, A Touch of Darkness, and I just could not get past the writing. If you remember some of my previous posts, I did mentioned that I tried to read Scarlett St. Hello everyone! The weather is looking better and things are looking up.
