Perfect for you if...

You love Greek mythology retellings but want them steamy, contemporary, and set in a neon-soaked urban landscape rather than ancient Greece.
You're drawn to morally grey heroes and the tension between characters who need each other for all the wrong reasons before feelings complicate everything.
You want romance that doesn't shy away from sexual chemistry while still building genuine emotional stakes and character depth.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer slow-burn romance where physical tension simmers quietly. This book is explicit and immediate about attraction.
You need your heroines to be fully independent from the start. Persephone's journey involves vulnerability and learning to want things for herself.
You're looking for a faithful adaptation of the original myth. This is a reimagining that strips the story down to its emotional core and rebuilds it in a modern crime-adjacent setting.

About this book

Persephone Dimitriou, a society figure in the ultra-modern city of Olympus, plans to escape the political machinations of the Thirteen Houses. Her plans are disrupted when her mother arranges an engagement to Zeus, a powerful figure controlling the city's hidden operations. With few alternatives, Persephone flees to the forbidden undercity, where she strikes a bargain with a man she once thought mythical. Hades has lived in the shadows and wants no part of the world above. When he realizes Persephone can help him achieve long-sought revenge, he agrees to assist her—in exchange for a price. As they spend time together, Hades develops deeper feelings for Persephone and becomes willing to wage war against Olympus to keep her. This is a modern retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, blending elements of romance and dark themes. It is the first book in the Dark Olympus series, which also includes Electric Idol (Eros & Psyche), Wicked Beauty (Achilles & Patroclus & Helen), and Radiant Sin (Apollo & Cassandra).
