About this listen

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.

Much better than I expected to be honest. I enjoyed the retelling and that this doesn’t paint Persephone as a complete victim; just someone who has been kept hidden and is therefore naive to the reality of the world.

The narrators voice for Hades irritated me a little so I think this would have been a good duet.

Not sure if I’ll buy the next in the series, but this was a good freebie.

Better than expected

So this has been on my list for ages and I wasn't sure I would enjoy it. But I have really enjoyed listening to it and also feel like it's the back drop to so many books I have listened to/ read in the last couple of years.
I can't wait to read the next one

Fantastic

Enjoyed the romance between the main characters and the Greek mythology element . More plot twists would be better, the story was quite predictable. Personal preference would be a different narrator especially for the male characters

Simple romance

Love this first addition and had me hooked quickly! I’m looking forward to listening to Book 2

Love it!

Character development and wider story line are a but lackluster, not terrible by any stretch but a bit lacking, nit on a part with TA White for example. But an easy read and decent narrator.

Not the best in terms of character development

It's a nice story and the narrator made it even better! I'm really sad that the Hades POV book is not narrated by her, as I love her Hades voice.

Enjoyable!
