With the higher page count and longer timeline, you really get to see the characters develop a deeper emotional connection. While this book is far lighter on the kink than the Wicked Villains series, the chemistry between the characters is just as powerful. Both Hades Persephone were strong characters on their own, but their relationship was spectacular. She masterfully balances sexual tension with emotional connection making you fall head over heels for her characters. No one writes romance quite like Katee Robert. And I loved all the subtle nods to Greek mythology as well as the authors other works.īut of course the romance is the shining the star. In fact, the world is even more well developed in here than in either of those series.

While it’s set in the same world as Wicked Villains and Sabine Valley, you don’t need to read either of those series to understand the world. But it is actually based entirely in reality. This setting is dark and gritty to the point it feels nearly fantastical. What stood out the most to me in this (beyond the amazing romance) was the unique and interesting twist on Olympus. No one writes romance like Katee Robert and she absolutely blew me away with this new take on Olympus. It’s sexy, morally grey, and full of fantastic chemistry. This was easily one of my most anticipated releases of the entire year and it did not disappoint! This book was absolutely everything I wanted in a Hades & Persephone retelling.
