5/19/2023 0 Comments A touch of darkness hadesThis definitely wouldn’t normally be a killer for me, I love long, drawn out, flirty courtships in this kind of literature, but A Touch of Darkness doesn’t really bring that to the table. Yes, as tiktok will tell you, the book is spicy but the spice doesn’t really happen until the last third. A spicy Hades and Persephone retelling while I’m gripped by Lore Olympus, yes please, but this book ended up being a major flop for me. Review: I’ve recently descended into booktok hell and alongside that swift descent I rekindled my love of Greek mythology, so when A Touch of Darkness popped up on my for you page it felt like fate. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows – and it’s forbidden. The bet does more than expose Persephone’s failure as a goddess, however. After a chance encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead and the terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. After moving to New Athens, she hopes to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. The truth is, since she was a little girl, flowers have shriveled at her touch. Synopsis: Persephone is the Goddess of Spring by title only.
