"Take her, and I will destroy this world. Take her, and I will destroy you. Take her, and I will end us all."

Hades, God of the Underworld, is known for his inflexible rule, luxurious night clubs, and impossible bargains. Used to control, he is not prepared to discover the Fates have chosen his future wife and Queen--Persephone, Goddess of Spring.

Despite her attraction to the god, Persephone, an ambitious journalism student, is determined to expose Hades for his cruel and ruthless ways. She defies him at every turn, even as the attraction between them explodes.

Hades finds himself faced with the impossible--proving his future bride wrong. Regardless of his efforts, there are forces who wish to keep the two apart and Hades comes to realize he will do anything for his forbidden love, even defy Fate.

I loved being able to get Hades POV which only made me fall even harder for the Gods relationship. This book held my affection and attention throughout the relationship not only with each other but also with how Hades grew stronger as a character. I have already started on the next book!

I just finished this book and I miss them already. It was a thrill to see things through Hades eyes. His vulnerability became another strength of this mighty god. There was a question that lingered in my mind until he answered it toward the end of the book and I was relieved. The author makes me want to go back and reread every chapter. The love between these too is solateus and it burns so good!

After hearing that this is Hades' perspective of [b:A Touch of Darkness|55215339|A Touch of Darkness (Hades x Persephone Saga, #1)|Scarlett St. Clair|https:i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1611948296l/55215339._SY75_.jpg|66983274] I read it right after A Touch of Darkness instead of finishing the Hades x Persephone saga first.

Hades' perspective was humorous and enjoyable. I am glad I read this. Some questions were answered in this side of the story and we got to see more of some other gods in this viewpoint.

You will not get it in this book if you are looking for an added plot. If you are looking for Hades' viewpoint of events already explained than its worth the read.

Greek mythology romance villain is the hero. Honestly, I like Hades perspective more than Persephone. This is the better half of the series.
