Lady of the Underworld by Skyler AndraMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Novel twist on Hades and Persephone
One of my favourite tropes is taking an old story - faerie tales, folk tales, gods and legends - and updating them with a modern twist. Of the Greek pantheon, one of the most popular romances is that of Hades and Persephone. This is a novel twist on the story, with the gods inhabiting human avatars. Well, most of them! August is a wonderfully engaging heroine, and you can understand her confusion at the new world that awaits her. Hades is both commanding and vulnerable in the right ways as he tried to restore his kingdom and find the right way to introduce August to her future. As you might expect, things don't quite go to plan, and we get a cliffhanger into the next book. Looking forward to reading the next stage in their story!
