Publisher's Summary
Persephone is the Goddess of Spring by title only. The truth is, since she was a little girl, flowers have shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hopes to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist.
Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible.
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.
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 - and it's forbidden.
Contains mature themes.

not what I was wanting
I wasn't wholly impressed by this book, the characters felt quite drab and all over the place. I was first under the impression that is was going to be an enemies to lovers story since that is what everyone had been saying when recommending this book, but that was not what this was, at best it was disgruntled to lovers.
the smutty scene's were so quick that if you weren't paying too much attention for a moment you would miss it, While not having too much passion in it.
over all I didn't hate it but I found myself thinking "gods, how can persephone be this stupid"

Exciting!!
I adored this take on the Greek gods! I didn't really know a lot about the lore of Hades and Persephone so was interested to see where this story would go. Oh boy, what a ride!!

I really enjoyed Meg's narration
I loved Meg Sylvan's narration of the book. You could tell when it was the narrator and then when a character was speaking. you can even tell the characters apart from the voices she used 👌
I also really liked the story too

Interesting use of Greek mitology.
liked it, the use of Greek mitology brought into the modern world, spiced up, and with some empowering messages.

Greek Mythology and Lust
Beautifully narrated story, thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book.
The female lead lacked a little more complex depth, however, the plot and writing were well worth my time.
