Hades by Carly Spade
2.0
“What?” Zeus roared, staring in a suit, his hands balled into fist, chest pausing. “Do you have any idea of the heated meeting I had to leave because you won’t shut up?”
In the Mythos trilogy, the Greek Gads roam the mortal world without the knowledge of others. Our protagonist Stephanie meets Hades, God of the Underworld, aka Mr. Boring. This Hades is sad and still shocked by his wife, Persephone, leaving him after years together. They meet while Stephanie is on vacation with her friend, Sara.
For the most part, this book was so dull. One of the main conflicts within this story is Stephanie trying to solve a cold case, and the other being that Thanatos quits his "job." Both are quickly resolved, and the protagonists struggle with wanting each other. Hades's central conflict is that he fears falling in love, believing that it will end with the woman leaving him as Persephone had. Stephanie is not thinking about entering a relationship; instead, she is fascinated with the unknown, Hades her cold case.
There is nothing remarkable about this book. In the end, it is was a chaotic mess of a book that felt as if the author forgot that her protagonist had a case she was trying to solve. The solution to each conflict felt rushed and plan ridiculous. Mostly because Zeus doesn’t have a selfless bone in his body.
