🔥 Hades & Persephone Retelling


There are two things I’ve always known:
Magic is real.
The Gods have no mercy for women like me.

I was born into power although what little I have is dying. Nonetheless, I’ve been protected all my life. There are myths and tales that say one day I will come to a fork in a long, long path. Either the light will take me or the dark. I never paid any mind to the whispers and warnings…

Until he crept into my window late at night.

Cloaked in darkness, silent as death. Every inch of me felt terror and yet I also felt something else. Something I’d never known.

He tasted like sin … and I loved it.

In a single moment, my entire world went dark and I was nothing more than a captive in the Underworld.
Nothing but his and suddenly all the lore brought a chill to my bones… even if he did light a fire in the most secret depths of me.

Prepare for a dark retelling of Hades and Persephone with spells and war and a love story that would change our world forevermore.


My Review:

I read the novella, A Deal for a Kiss and after reading that, I was very looking forward to reading this full-length story of Hades and Persephone. Willow did not disappoint. 

"My soon to be Queen."

For me it was the world that Willow created for this story. Even if it was the underworld, I still loved the world and all of the characters. 

"Persephone is like a storm about to break."

He may be the king of the underworld, but Hades is patient with Persephone. I liked that he did not just claim Persephone, when he could have. The slow burn romance hit harder this way. 

"She is the only person's touch I have ever wanted."

A fast read that will draw you in to Hades and Persephone's love story.
