I was torn between this and another similar book telling the Hades and Persephone story and I’m so glad I picked this one. Firstly I’m in love with Hades, there I’ve said it. The writing is great along with a “both sides of the story” approach which keeps the pov interesting, it’s not just a repeat of the same parts of the story and actually keeps the book flowing which was great, the character progression for Persephone is also amazing.
However, the biggest tick for me was around the kink aspect of the book. Every other kink / BDSM book I have read clearly has no actual experience with the scene and just writes what they think it’s about, usually wrong and casts horrible shadows on everyone involved. The kink world is all about consent, respect, care and love and my god this book has it in spades! The scenes are extremely spicey but Hades is a true gentleman and is constantly maintaining consent with Persephone and his only goal is her happiness not to belittle or humiliate. Bravo Katiee and thank you for finally writing a kink based story that is actually true to real life!

A sexy, delicious and action-packed story.
Persephone Dimitriou is tired of her life in the City of Olympus. She is disgusted by the trading of people, services and mayhem displayed by the power-hungry ruling Thirteen. Especially as her mother Demeter, who she once trusted, has become one of them. She has a plan - when she comes of age and receives her inheritance she will leave the city and search for a life outside the confines of backstabbing and murder in Olympus. When her mother springs a surprise betrothal to Zeus on her to become the new Hera, Persephone must take drastic action. Zeus is rumoured to have killed his previous wives and treats everyone like pawns and she wants no part in that life.Without man options, she flees across the River Styx to the Lower City. She seeks refuge from Hades who has been shrouded in rumour and myth. But Hades is very real. In exchange for his protection, Persphone agrees to bind herself to him. In return, Hades will use her to seek his revenge on Zeus for the murder of his family and deliver payback that was years in the making.The more time they spend together the harder it is for Hades to resist his need for Persephone and for Persephone to suppress the awakening of her darker sexual fantasies. As the pair's desire grows stronger, Hades is willing to risk all-out war to keep his city safe and the woman he craves at his side. Meanwhile, Persephone must make hard decisions about what she is willing to do to protect her sisters and the man she is falling in love with.🌟🌟🌟🌟. Phew, that was hot. The chemistry and banter between Hades and Persphone are hot and heavy from the beginning. I loved how Hades' darker instincts manifest themselves in his creative and seductive sexuality as well as his restraint on his violent physical impulses while showing his caring and protective personality in his loyalty and treatment of his people. Persephone is smart, adventurous and determined. I like that she held her own against the Thirteen including challenging Hades and not cowering to Zeus or her mother. Overall a sexy, delicious and action-packed story.

As per the photos I posted with this review and the only complaint I have, is that the publishing company missed these typos. Im fairly certain there's a 3rd one that I forgot to take a pic of, I'm considering using a pen to try and correct the first one lol but no other complaints!
It's different to read a Greek God's related story that isn't set in Ancient Greece and that isn't about the original Greek God's themselves, in this story the original God's have long since died and the "people" of Olympus have since been voted into the roles of said dead God's for a few generations.
There's no talk of mortals, demi God's or of these newly elected people having any relation to the original God's. (Zeus, Hades, Aphrodite and so on are now just titles and positions that people are elected into and they take on that name of the God or Goddess once elected.)
lol but that's ok because the Author did amazing with the premise of the God's, because realistically the story doesn't need those kind of Ancient details as this is a modern vision of Olympus, designed as a city and is still away and a part from the mortal realm and it works great!
