The dynamic between Hades, the brooding King of the Underworld, and Persephone, the vibrant Goddess of Spring, is electric.

The authors, Jeanette Rose and Alexis Rune, masterfully blend humor and heat, making this tale feel like a modern rom-com with a sprinkle of divine drama.

Hades and persephone had their own thouch which i really liked. And "My Spring" and "Demon" ar the best couple names!! I loved how the got through there ups and downs. and how they after like half the book finnalh get "togheter". One of the best part is the fact that hades tries to respect her boarders and really kept trought with it. The Chliffhanger was a bit mean; in a good way. I finished Book one and bought book 2,3, and 4😂 can't wait to read more of their story!

2.75 I enjoyed the spice, and Hades and Persephone had chemistry, but some things were questionable. I don’t understand how Persephone had to push him over and over to tell her something he physically couldn’t, and she did not get it. Even if the thing wasn’t such a complex reason, hun saying that he does not want to come inside her should be enough for her to let it go. The „cheating“ made me feel uncomfortable because even though Persephone was of the opinion that she and another guy weren’t in a relationship and didn’t put labels on it, he definitely looked at it differently and she should’ve simply ended things the moment she got intimate with Hades. The final ending felt kind of rushed and that he did what he swore not to do without thinking of consequences made me feel so angry. I did enjoy a lot of scenes (though some were simply not for me) and for it to be a modern greek mythology retelling, it was good.
