About this ebook

He was supposed to be a myth. But from the moment I crossed the River Styx and fell under his dark spell...he was, quite simply, mine.

*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Hades and Persephone that's as sinful as it is sweet.*

Society darling Persephone Dimitriou plans to flee the ultra-modern city of Olympus and start over far from the backstabbing politics of the Thirteen Houses. But all that's ripped away when her mother ambushes her with an engagement to Zeus, the dangerous power behind their glittering city's dark facade.

With no options left, Persephone flees to the forbidden undercity and makes a devil's bargain with a man she once believed a myth...a man who awakens her to a world she never knew existed.

Hades has spent his life in the shadows, and he has no intention of stepping into the light. But when he finds that Persephone can offer a little slice of the revenge he's spent years craving, it's all the excuse he needs to help her—for a price. Yet every breathless night spent tangled together has given Hades a taste for Persephone, and he'll go to war with Olympus itself to keep her close...

"Deliciously inventive...Red-hot."—Publishers Weekly STARRED

5⭐'s.🤩👏 (I'd give more but thats not an option) Absolutely wonderful🤩. The story of Hades and Persephone has always been one of my favorites. But you gave a very good twist with modernizing it. I'm like the changes you made. And while mesmerizing and heart-pounding, adrenaline-induced upheaval is Not something I usually enjoy, the personal interactions between everybody helped distract me. It made me believe that love can infact conquer all.(I know it doesn't usually work out that way, which is why I know its a special thing. ) You did good, Katee. You should be proud of yourself. I Definitely recommend this book to anyone reading this review.

This is an amazing story. I love the use and manipulation of the Greek mythology. The characters are so rich and bold. The plot has so much intrigue and emotion. The spice was amazing. The world building was so featured and creative. I absolutely adored everything that this book is. Such an wonderful book.

Wow, that's all I actually have to say about this. it's beyond spicy, not what you will expect from the main lead lady (who is supposed to be the "good girl") and the villain is definitely someone I fell in love with. I will definitely recommend this book to all my book worm girlies.
