About this audiobook

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. 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...

The story is pretty good as retellings go. I would prefer a little more depth to the world, but that's not really what we're here for. And i love that Zeus is the villain. for the spice, I dig the kink but it's a little tame. It mainly focuses on voyeurism/being watched and. The Dom aspect is pretty soft and they completely ignore the safe word, instead relying on him reading her, which defeats the purpose. I love that the author included aftercare in the scenes though. Something I'm sure the general public doesn't realize is part of the act.

the voice actors don't get it right ... the person who did Persephone's chapters sounds like a crypt keeper when they speak as Hades 😳 maybe they are trying to sound raspy? it just sounds like my grandfather on his deathbed... not hot 🤢

The world building was so featured and creative. I absolutely adored everything that this book is. Such an wonderful book.
