About this listen
THE GODS LOVE TO PLAY WITH US MERE MORTALS. AND EVERY HUNDRED YEARS, WE LET THEM …
I have never been favored by the gods. Far from it, thanks to Zeus.
Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves, I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus won’t notice me. Not an easy feat, given San Francisco is Zeus’ patron city, but I make do. I survive. Until the night I tangle with a different god.
The worst god. Hades.
For the first time ever, the ruthless, mercurial King of the Underworld has entered the Crucible—the deadly contest the gods hold to determine a new ruler to sit on the throne of Olympus. But instead of fighting their own battles, the gods name mortals to compete in their stead.
So why in the Underworld did Hades choose me—a sarcastic nobody with a curse on her shoulders—as his champion? And why does my heart trip every time he says I’m his?
I don’t know if I’m a pawn, bait, or something else entirely to this dangerously tempting god. How can I, when he has more secrets than stars in the sky?
Because Hades is playing by his own rules … and Death will win at any cost.

I loved everything about it and omg I still can't get my thoughts together. It's great!
It's added to my favourite read of year! Thousand percent 5 stars for me.
The audiobook is narrated by Piper Goodeve and she brings it to life, she's fantastic.
I recommend picking this one up!
Fantastic

I do love the books by this author and have read many series by her and I am always thrilled with what I have read. This book is no exception.
There is romance, intrigue, challenge, trials and a strong female who stands up for herself and for others, even if they are not nice to her.
Hades is a complicated character and to be honest we do not get to see enough of him as to know why he acts like he does even if we get some reasons.
I certainly had a few moments where the book had me crying, especially with Boon and really like how we got the background relationship between them and how he boosted her up.
I can't wait until the kindle version can come out and the paperback becomes more affordable. I shall certainly buy them when I can. Until then, I eagerly anticipate book two!
Captivating!

Great narrator. Disappointing story

The story itself was an interesting take on Greek gods and mythology but the writing felt too simplified for the world being created.
Good concept but failed on execution
