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.

It is a romance novel, so I definitely had to stop listening when I was around others because I would start blushing by how intense their moments are. But 100/10 would recommend for all listeners over the age of 18. I can’t say enough great things about it

This retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth is an absolute gem for mythology enthusiasts! The seamless blend of mortal and godly worlds, coupled with the enticing allure of forbidden love, creates a captivating narrative that kept me hooked from start to finish.
The characterization is phenomenal, especially Hades, who transcends the typical dark and ruthless stereotype. His swoon-worthy moments and the palpable chemistry with Persephone make this a love story for the ages. The slow burn is expertly crafted, adding layers of tension that erupt into a fiery climax.
The narrative's flow is impeccable, and the adult twist on the classic tale is a breath of fresh air. The inclusion of gods like Zeus, Poseidon, Aphrodite, and Apollo adds depth, and the side characters, including Hecate, Sybil, and Ian, are brilliantly portrayed.
I'm also going to highlight, the protagonist, Persephone, as a strong and relatable character. Her journey from a sheltered goddess to a woman navigating love and deception is both empowering and emotionally resonant.
I will express a desire for more clarity in certain aspects, such as Demeter's motivations and the fate dynamics, demonstrating an engaged and thoughtful reading experience. The bonus chapter about Minthe the mint plant is praised for its entertainment value.
While the ending is critiqued for its abruptness, it leaves the reader eager for more, a testament to the author's skill in crafting a compelling narrative. Overall, this book is a delightful exploration of mythology with a modern and adult twist, earning it a well-deserved spot on the re-read list. Can't wait for book two!

Read all three books in a week. I really loved re-listening to this one while reading Hades side. It was an easy read and I just loved the characters. I can’t wait to read more from Scarlett St. Clair. I hope she continues this series.
