I started reading more dark romances recently and this is one of my favs till now!! This was my first book by the author and it has been on my tbr forever. I loved her writing – the plot with the mature scenes were *chef’s kiss*💋I was consumed by this book from the moment I started it ❤️‍🔥🥰Kal is an absolute delight. I am literally obsessed with this man. Some might say I need a therapist but who cares 😏Elena is definitely our little miss Persephone who brings the light but loves the darkness. She was totally consumed into the world of Kal – our misunderstood Hades, and she never wanted to get out of it.I loved how both the characters went through different transitions throughout the plot. This is one of my favorite things in any romance read!I can't wait to read more of Sav’s books and complete the whole series!I will definitely recommend this book 🥺💗If you are a fan of the above-mentioned tropes and looking for a book that includes lots and lots of spice with a not-so-typical love story, then this might be the perfect book for you 💗𝑹𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5𝑺𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒆: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

It starts of well. Kal's character was Hades to begin with. But through the story as the plot unfolds he just becomes this sad, broken H and evokes more pity. The darkness that needed to surround him, the aloofness, the ability to take without remorse completely disappears and all that is left is the poor little boy who was hurt and let down by his own.

The story though started off interesting soon became only about sex scenes which kind of get redundant after a while. I mean it's only so much shoving you can take, if you know what I mean! Wish the story was developed a little better. But a good attempt nonetheless.

This book has positively ruined me for all other books. It makes you want to scream, both in frustration and in a delicious way. Dr Kal Anderson being dubbed Doctor Death is perfect because he definitely will be the death of me.Beware though, it is not for everyone. The trigger warnings have been included for a reason, and if you cannot keep your personal biases aside, maybe you shouldn't start your indulgence with this book.Regardless, it was so gripping, that I ignored a 3k word assignment with a same-day deadline, and stayed up the entire night reading this. I have already recommended it to most of my friends. The ones who have read it feel the same as me.

This retelling of Hades and Persephone was twisted and sweet as ever.I loved the emotional and physical connection between kal and Elena.Although, i would have liked kal to do more to express his love, as a reader i felt his intensity of his love but it would be epic good if he did some extreme maneuvers like hurt one stupid character a little more. ;)

Although many ppl say these kinds of dark romances are purely fiction, i know all this to be true. i have seen this happen, this was literally the best romance i have read in a while and i love u FOR THIS GIFT !!!!!!!!!!!!

I Dont know why … so many times I get damaged book

To be honest i didn't know what to expect when I heard it's a retelling of Hades and Persephone.But I didn't even have anything to worry about.Loved the book.

An amazing dark romance! A contemporary dark retelling of Hades and Persephone that is excellently done. Definitely recommend this read.

Fue un regalo y me gusta

The book came in perfect brand new condition. I love the story itself, I find it’s the best retelling of the Hades and Persephone story, at least sticking to the actual kidnapping and forced marriage plot from the original story.

I don't write reviews often (mainly because I don't know what to say), but this book got me hooked from the first page and I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to the author. Honestly, I'm usually a very slow reader, but I couldn't put it down and finished it in less than 24 hours. Everything was amazing, the world-building was engrossing, the pacing was on point, both of the main characters were equally interesting (and I can't remember the last time a character pissed me off as much as Carmen), and the darkness surrounding it?? Omg, perfect!Although this is not a fantasy book, it definitely felt magical, thank you so much for letting us read about Kallum and Elena's story!

This was my first dark romance book and if you like a lot of spice in your books this one is for you. The writing style was absolutely lovely but if you are new to this genre i would recommend checking the trigger warnings. But if you can handle it a must read book!
