I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
HEA: cliffhanger
POV: dual 1st person POV
spice: many open-door spicy scenes
TWs: blackmail, cheating-ish (not defined relationship), child abuse, emotional manipulation, moments of mild gore
Kinky Content: biting, blood play, bondage, bratting, breath play, cum play, dirty talk, degradation, Dom/sub dynamics, double penetration, dubcon, exhibitionism, finger licking good, fingering, marking, masturbation, oral, orgasm control, phone sex, pierced equipment, praise, prehensile magic play, public play, queening, shadow play, shower sex, spanking, voyeurism
standalone: book 1 of Love and Fate series
final thoughts: SO GOOD! I was on the edge of my seat for this entire read! Keep in mind that the author has taken some liberties with Greek mythology for the sake of the plot, but the dubious and triggering content from traditional Greek mythology is still part of this series.

I love Hades and Persephone retellings, and this was such a fun take on it. It’s a modern retelling while also being close to the traditional story. Tons of romance, smut, mystery, intrigue, and world building. I cannot wait to finish the rest of the series.
The art that was added throughout?! AMAZING
