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.

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!

I have really enjoyed listening to this story. The author brought the God's to life, especially Hades, the characters were great. The narrator was very good.

A very enjoyable listening experience.

Liked the story, the other side of Hades and the thought that Persephone could choose him if her own volition. I do think there was too much smut and it wasn’t needed to make the story interesting.

I struggled with the narrator of this book and would have preferred a different narrator but it is what it is.

Loved this retelling

Became addicted to the story line and downloaded second book as soon as finished the first one really enjoying the story of the Greek gods

Love the story

It’s just a bit underwhelming. The FMC was so childish, ignorant and frankly annoying it was a pain to listen sometimes.

It’s meh

First of all, I HAVE to give credits to the narrator... Girl... you did an amazing job!!! I llooooved your voice. I'm going to look for every books you narrated!
ok, second of all, the book was really good. Surprisingly good. The story was well built, the characters were awesome and everyone had their part. I'd want more of the other Gods. I'd live to see more of Hermes and the underworld. Their love story was liiiit !!!!!! I couldn't wait for their time together. over all i'd want more of everything, more magic, more backstories , more fight when they separate , more love when they reunite.
But I loved it, I definitely will spread the wolrd about this books . And, obvio, going to download the rest cause YALL I HAVE TO LEARN MORE.!!!!!!!

why was this so good????
