4.5/5

I just so happened to open my digital library app this week when Electric Idol (book 2) was released, and this series was being promoted. I've seen it all over tiktok (because I follow the author lol) and was really excited to get a chance to read this book.

I can't remember reading a Hades/Persephone retelling before this one, but now it's a must. I need more of these characters, in all the different worlds and universes imaginable. I loved the updated version of the Gods and Goddesses, and a fresh new take on the way they become who they are. I also really enjoyed the characterizations and world building throughout.

But mostly I enjoyed the feels this book gave me. It was heart melting, heart pounding, exciting, unexpected, and each page was highly anticipated. Am I a sap to say my favorite part was the puppies? Probably. I'm a dog person man, I just can't help it.

I loved this couple. I loved ( L O V E D ) the consent. This just ticked every box. I cannot wait to read more from this author. I'm already on Chapter 1 of the next book.
