Description

In a vibrant, contemporary twist on ancient mythology, a young woman finds herself entangled in a world where gods walk amongst mortals. As she steps over the metaphorical River Styx, she unwittingly enters the realm of Hades, a figure she believed to be relegated to tales of the past. Yet, he is very much real, and the allure of his dark presence draws her in like a moth to a flame.

In this seductive landscape, the power dynamics between mortals and deities are intoxicating, and the stakes are higher than she ever imagined. Encounters are charged with tension as she navigates her unexpected attraction to Hades, whose charm masks a tumultuous history and a realm steeped in secrets. Their chemistry is electric, igniting a passionate collision of desires that pushes both of them to their limits.

Amidst the glamorous chaos of Dark Olympus, the protagonist must confront her own feelings of rebellion against an age-old narrative. Her journey grows more complex as allegiances shift and the boundaries between love and power blur. As she delves deeper into Hades' world, she explores the meaning of choice, consequence, and the very nature of love.

This retelling offers an enticing blend of romance and mythology, reimagining well-known figures in a world where passion reigns supreme. Readers will be captivated by the exploration of desire, identity, and the personal stakes involved in a fresh take on a timeless story.

The story is fascinating and hot, but at some point, I lost my way in the book. I found it slow in the middle, but the idea behind the story is amazing. A good retelling of Persephone and Hades
