Readers are "hopelessly addicted" to this captivating story of Hades and Persephone. "Take her, and I will destroy this world. Take her, and I will destroy you. Take her, and I will end us all." Hades, God of the Underworld, is known for his inflexible rule, luxurious night clubs, and impossible bargains. Used to control, he is not prepared to discover the Fates have chosen his future wife and Queen—Persephone, Goddess of Spring. Despite her attraction to the god, Persephone, an ambitious journalism student, is determined to expose Hades for his cruel and ruthless ways. She defies him at every turn, even as the attraction between them explodes. Hades finds himself faced with the impossible—proving his future bride wrong. Regardless of his efforts, there are forces who wish to keep the two apart and Hades comes to realize he will do anything for his forbidden love, even defy Fate.

Still not the best written but better than original, Hades perspective was a lot more enjoyable.

This book was a disappointment, while it is the same story as A Touch of Darkness, I did like that we saw more of behind the scenes and the other Gods. But I could care less about Hades and his thoughts especially related to Persephone. For me, this book added nothing to the story.

4.5 stars.

After A touch of darkness, this was literally a very nice surprise!
I guess I will keep reading only his POV.
