Was lucky enough to be an arc reader for this book thanks to LovesNotesPR with approval from author, Kennedy Slope.
Was absolutely hyped to read this as I love reading mythology inspired stories. This take on Hades and Persephone is one of my favorites.
Our FMC, Ophelia, is being hunted by cultists and having visions, which causes her to believe she has a mental illness. Turns out she has Persephone's essence inside her, and Demeter's essence holder is hunting her so that Demeter can be restored completely after multiple gods and goddesses faded out.
Ophelia finds herself within Hades's environment. She doesn't know him at all, but alas he knows her. He knows she is Persephone from the get go and keeps trying to make her remeber.
There's lots of yearning on behalf of Hades, and there is a slow burn as Ophelia begins to realize she does have feelings. There's also a couple interesting intense scenes.
We've got most of the gods as players: Hades, Zeus, and Hermes. Definitely give this a read for a unique take!
Can't wait to see what else is going to happen in this series.
