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\u2019s failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows\u2014and it\u2019s forbidden.<\/p>\nGoodreads synopsis<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I cracked this bitch up, read about Hades running a gambling operation, and wondered for a minute if I would actually like this book. I really feared for one whole hot minute that I was just walking into one of those books where they made Hades into some suave mafia gent or some shit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe I’m already biased against it. Or not. I don’t know. This is going to be an annotation heavy post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please don’t make him into a sugar daddy mafia boy with a huge hog and a misunderstood persona (do it)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is no longer considered edgy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dude, Hades, that is the name of a game that a fourteen year old would play and grind his character up to level 80 and crush newbs (or alternatively be a newbie lover? sometimes children are good in video games)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Excuse me, gods have horns?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean no insult my liege, horns are cool, but it’s so funny in this modern ass world to imagine people saying Hades is stacked and meaning he has a huge rack on his head<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pyramid???? Bad construction. Huge footprint. But how can it be slender??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Bro how did you make this sound MEAN. They describe Lexa as hot later but man. It sounds like a put-down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Oh man he is saving himself. Sugar daddy loyalty incoming. Dark Lord who covers his weiner and makes the suitors look away<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(it’s so funny and yet i am guilty of making my main character like this so)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hades “Hottest Man Alive” i guess. 6’8″, five o clock shadow, smacked his head into no less than 4 doorways on the way to stand ominously over his club looking like a greased up mafia brat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next paragraph he’s looking at how hot she is and she is saying he is looking at her looking and she gushes in her panties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Man why Am I being so Mean<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ended up returning this to the library because I was really not interested on just reading about what party-dog Hades looks like repeatedly. Thanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
