A Touch of Darkness (Hades x Persephone Saga Book 1)

Product Information

Honestly, most of the notes I made whilst reading this book was just my frustration over the Goddess of Spring.

I didn't like Persephone as a journalist and some of the dialog was tough to believe but all in all 3. Who gave her the title of "goddess of spring", if a) none of the other gods knew about her (as is implied) and b) she shows no gift for anything springtime-related?Hades, God of the Underworld, is known for his inflexible rule, luxurious night clubs, and impossible bargains. A Touch of Ruin – The next book shows Hades and Persephone really in a relationship together and navigating life together. I’m not completely sold on the fact that after millennia of being a god and acting how he has, Persephone does like, three things, and Apollo decides he wants to change?

But her assassination attempt is thwarted, and Adrian threatens that if Isolde tries to kill him again, he will raise her as the undead.However, once they’ve finished, Hades is able to mark Persephone, indicating that she is now under contract with him. I understand that this is a character who has only been allowed into the real world for the last four years, but she was constantly contradicting herself, and just not making a lot of sense. With the publication of the final books in this series on the horizon, now is the perfect time to catch up with the fiery love story of Hades and Persephone. What I DO vibe with, is pretty much all of the secondary characters; Hermes, Hecate, Sybil, Thanatos, and even Apollo. But finds out Hades had made a bet with Aphrodite that he couldn’t make someone fall in love with him in 6 months.

I think she feels guilty and feels remorse, but I also think she still feels bad for herself more than actually learning from the mistakes she has made. The war between the demigods and gods/goddesses and Olympians really starts to take off and Hades and Persephone are caught right in the middle of it.In the last, maybe 2 chapters did I begin to actually warm to Persephone, but I don’t think she actually learned from any of her mistakes? Getting to slowly see how Hades lives his life, find out what makes him happy, and who he is as a person behind all of the garbage nonsense that is spread around was my favourite part of this book.
