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.

It didn't drag and maintained intrigue throughout. The characters were nuanced, I didn't get bored of them. I liked that many different aspects of the underworld were explored throughout the story. Persephone is a decent protagonist. I pretty much snoozed through the smut scenes with only a few exceptions but it wasn't off-putting. The book didn't devolve into senseless love making or become incoherent to the point of not having a resolution as all which tends to happen in almost all smut book. they start off bold and promising then fizzle just as quickly which is why this was a surprisingly good read..

surprisingly well-done

The narrator made this story alive.. it was a retelling, so no suspence, but she made every scene so entertaining.

the narrator was nice. I did not like Persephone at all. She was really hard to like. I like how short it is. aren't many sub plots. quick read.

Persephone wasn't the best
