Yeah, so I once saw this in the YA section in a bookshop and it definitely shouldn’t have been there 🫢😂

I knew this might be a bit sordid but I did not know it would be Hades x Persephone meets Fifty Shades 🙈 I don’t think I’d have gotten through it without the audiobook. This was fun to check out but definitely not something I’d enjoy reading regularly. It was quite funny at times and also some of the smut made me cringe and gasp in shock, so I had a few good laughs for sure 🤭 for an extra fun experience I’d recommend listening to the audiobook in a public space (like on a train, like I did). There’s nothing quite like the feeling of knowing everyone around you is oblivious to the fact you’re listening to absolute filth 😂

I guess I’m not the target audience for this so I feel a little bad rating it 2.5 stars, but I can’t rate it higher if I’m being honest. It isn’t so much that the smut scenes were too explicit for my tastes but the sensational aspect of it was just *not my thing* 😬 if voyeurism is your kink, this is the book for you 👌🏼at least I’ve discovered it isn’t mine 😂

This isn’t completely porn without plot. I actually quite enjoyed Hades’ character and the two of them falling for each other.
