Scarlett St. Clair
From bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth. "Let me worship you," he said. She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. "You will worship me, and I won't even have to order you." His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it. She answered, "Yes." Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger. Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can't resist. After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows--a love that is both captivating and forbidden.

"A re-telling of the story between Persephone and Hades. Desirable and alluring the relationship between these two gods leaves nothing to the imagination…or maybe in this case everything! Persephone and Hades is one of my favorite Greek mythology stories, I enjoyed how this author put their story in such a modern and intimate form. I am most thrilled there’s a double series of the perspectives from both gods!"
"Really good read. Pretty spicy with lots of sexual tension. I know it’s a series but it could be a good stand alone book. "

"⭐️⭐️.5/5
I felt as if the whole book was one miscommunication trope: two characters unwilling to speak honestly to each other for, what I felt, was no apparent reason. The spice was alright - shorter and not as descriptive as I prefer it but very open door. I don’t care for the idea of Greek gods in modern times (looking at you Neon Gods), so I think this is where a lot of the charm was lost on me. Overall it was enjoyable but I won’t be picking up the rest of the series."
