A Touch of Darkness (Hades x Persephone Saga Book 1)

Product Information

Clair has an undergraduate degree in English writing and a master’s in library science and information. 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. With two opposing goddesses playing mortals and vampires like chess pieces against one another, Isolde is uncertain who her allies are in the vampire stronghold of Revekka. It gets a SLIGHT pass in this story, since Hades is literally a god and can literally see into people's souls, but it's still pretty skeevy.

But let me be clear – I am Persephone, future Queen of the Underworld, Lady of Your Fate – may you come to dread my presence. We get just a touch of toxicity from the romance here and there, but what’s a dark romance without it? If you’d prefer to read some stuff, then I would recommend World History Encyclopedia (I am biased because I work for them, but they also do amazing work. After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Underworld, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever.

In saying that, this book and whole series so far is incredibly binge-worthy and addictive and I am mildly obsessed with this series 😍 I was hoping that after the events of book one, Persephone would begin to grow as a person, to trust Hades, and continue to improve her communication skills with the man she claims to love. I started listening to this because I read Lore Olympus on WebToon and people on the group I’m in were suggesting this.

When Hades refuses to help, it fractures their relationship and has a desperate Persephone striking a bargain with severe consequences. It's like the author wrote from sentence to sentence, picking what she wanted to say in any given moment, regardless of what had just been said/done or what was about to be said/done. Used to control, he is not prepared to discover the Fates have chosen his future wife and Queen—Persephone, Goddess of Spring.

This surge in retellings seems to have been pioneered by Madeline Miller with her books The Song of Achilles and Circe, which are both brilliant, but if you’re just starting to dip your toe into Greek mythology, give Stephen Fry’s books Mythos, Heroes and Troy a go! Not because I thought that it was too young for me (I still adore it), but because it meant I would have been exposed to the world of Greek myths far sooner.
