Sinossi
Persefone è la dea della primavera, ma solo di nome. La verità è che, sin da quando era bambina, i fiori si avvizziscono non appena lei li tocca. Dopo essersi trasferita a Nuova Atene, la ragazza finge di essere una semplice giornalista mortale, in modo da poter vivere una vita senza troppe pretese. Ade, il dio dei morti, ha costruito un impero del gioco d'azzardo nel mondo dei mortali, e si dice che le sue scommesse preferite siano quelle irrealizzabili. Dopo un incontro con Ade, Persefone si ritrova a stringere un patto con lui, ma le sue condizioni sono impossibili: Persefone dovrà creare la vita negli Inferi o perderà per sempre la sua libertà. Questa scommessa, tuttavia, non si limiterà soltanto a smascherare il fallimento di Persefone come dea. Infatti, mentre lei cerca di coltivare i semi che le ridaranno la libertà, sarà l'amore per il dio dei morti a crescere... Ed è proibito.

Readers are bound to get hyped because of the Hades & Persephone reference, and I feel like this updated cover might lead to false expectations cause it’s too pretty and not enough risqué. Therefore, you should be informed that this book is a smutty urban fantasy loose retelling of the King and Quee Leggi tutto

I’m incapable of writing this review without a few minor spoilers. Not a lot, just enough to (hopefully) make you not want to read this book. Also big thanks to Aliyah for reading this with me. This book was terrible, but our collective rants made it worth it 😩 Subjective grade- 30%Plot - 15%Writing Leggi tutto
This was a huge miss for me. From the start, the writing felt very unpolished and I wasn't a fan of the writing style. The way things were explained felt very choppy and I could not ignore how badly things were explained or characters were developed. As far as the characters go, Persephone was so in Leggi tutto
I was excited to read "A Touch of Darkness" based on the synopsis I was given. A modern retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth? Great! Then I started the audiobook and it all went downhill from there. The only way to properly address my feelings about this book is to organize things in a list, so Leggi tutto
TW: sexual harassment This is a pretty popular Hades and Persephone retelling, so I decided to give it a try. It sadly falls into the trap of many of the retellings I’ve read that feature these characters - the characters end up feeling a little flat. The Persephone character had the spunk and fire Leggi tutto
