Summary

Persephone is the Goddess of Spring by title only. The truth is, since she was a little girl, flowers have shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hopes to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist.

Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible.

After a chance encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead and the 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 - and it's forbidden.

Contains mature themes.

I loved this omg. Great story, great writing, HadesxPersephone retelling + the performance!!! so happy it's a series + there are books from Hades' point of view... can't wait!

Been meaning to read this!!!

the story was nice and refreshing a touche of innocence in a sea of dark romance. However I was annoyed by the sleazy tone the performer voice took every time she was reading a man's voice. It took away part of the romantic scenes and it's a shame because here reading was nice most of the time.

not so bad

The love story is cute but the plot & storyline are a bit childish! Overall a pleasant book to listen to, I would recommand it.

Nice book

Not gonna lie, I picked it up because the idea of a ✨spicy✨ book set in a modern rendition of Greek Myths / the Hades and Persephone relationship intrigued the hell out of me but the set up was both rushed and tedious, the writing isn't that compelling, the spice was minimal (and not helped by the performer's breathy moans, talk about awkward), the plot was non-existent, the characters lacked chemistry which isn't great for what is supposed to be an edgy romance novel.
I struggled to power through, wouldn't recommend it to anyone and I might try to get a refund.

Painfully boring

On m’avait recommandé ce livre avec enthousiasme, j’ai donc décidé de l’écouter. Quelle déception! J’ai quand même persévéré jusqu’à la fin ( par pure curiosité… ou masochisme littéraire? ) , mais franchement, c’est le genre d’histoire qu’on trouve sur Wattpad en mille versions recyclées. Les méchants sont tellement évidents qu’ils pourraient porter des pancartes « JE SUIS LE VILAIN », le love interest trahit l’héroïne parce que, apparement, c’est une étape obligatoire dans toute romance bancale et, sans surprise, elle lui pardonne en deux secondes comme l’héroïne clichée qu’elle est.

Une histoire clichée et un plot prévisible.
