Kal isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty, and he has darker sexual preferences that Elena didn’t turn down. Though he could very well be the King of the Underworld. But ultimately, they are not Hades or Persephone. She has a tattoo of pomegranate and often is described as having a similar scent due to her shampoo. Kal refers to himself as Hades with Elena being his Persephone. While the book follows many of the tropes and legends of Hades and Persephone, they are more background to the crime noir/romance plot of the book. Named after one of the places in the Underworld. Elena is then taken to an island home of Kal’s called Asphodel. Only to be immediately married off to Kal with her father and priest overseeing the union. Then it flashes over to Elena on her wedding day, where she walks into her fiance’s room and discovers he has been murdered by Kal. And the two come to an agreement that Kal will marry Elena instead of the individual she’s been engaged to since birth. The book starts out with Kal (a volunteer doctor and hitman) confronting the don of the Ricci mafia in Boston about a sex tape someone took of himself with Ricci’s eldest daughter, Elena. This book alternates between Elena’s and Kal’s POV.

As I needed something that was a mix between romance and fantasy before going back to the other books I have to read. But I wanted to check it out after reading six out of eight books of The Millennium Wolves on Galatea (I’m not going to review them as it would mostly be a review of the app) for the last week. So, be warned before going into this book if you’re going to pick it up yourself. It’s a dark romance at that, there are trigger warnings with this book. Especially since it’s Hades and Persephone reimagining and romance. Considering, how many book recommendations come across on there, it’s completely possible. Either it popped up on my Amazon when I was looking at what to read next, or I saw it on TikTok at some point. I don’t recall where I first saw this book. These help support the blog, so I can keep creating content. This post may contain affiliate or referral codes, for which I receive a small compensation and you get a discount in exchange.
