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

From bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth.

"Let me worship you," he said.

She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. "You will worship me, and I won't even have to order you." His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it.

She answered, "Yes."

Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger.

Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can't resist.

After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows--a love that is both captivating and forbidden.

I love Hades! Persephone can be a little grating at moments but the two of them together!

Ooooo! I stumbled on this one and boy I’ve never been so happy for a series! I love a good spin on Greek mythology, and this does not disappoint. The relationship between the two main characters had me cheesin’ like a school girl. The spice was the *chef’s kiss* amount and didn’t overshadow the storyline. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️

I listened to the audio version and it was really good, the only thing that annoyed me was the way she was pronouncing some names in the book but that’s besides the point 😂 definitely a good read/ listen, can’t wait to read/listen the the others

Loved this book as it's a steamy romance that you can devour in a few hours. I enjoyed the Hades/Persephone retelling and all the Greek mythology thrown in the mix. The slow-burn chemistry between Hades and Persephone will keep you reading and screaming at the pages and finally crying out when it happens. The writing is easy to follow and fast-paced making it an easy read.

My only critique of the book is Persephone, she could be so annoying and infuriating at times. She wanted to make her own choices and live her own life but too many times she was too easily swayed by others. I found myself yelling at her too many times for her decisions because some of her decisions were just stupid and dumb.

Overall, very pleased with the HEA, and this book completed its task for me as an entertaining read with plenty of steamy moments.
