The miscommunication trope is strong in this one. So many mistakes were made just cuz Seph and Hades couldn't have a fricking conversation.

I enjoyed this a lot less than the first book, the characters are so whiney and repeat their mistakes too many times for my liking, and some of the plot beats towards the end of the book were way too serious to only be tackled so briefly and then moved on from, it felt like they were only thrown in for dramatic effect and I was not a fan.

???? there's like 7 plots in one book and none of it makes sense and it reads like a soap opera and and and . 

okay i was so disappointed by this book. extremely. everything reads like a ff.net fic. and honestly i'm not shy to cringe!!! but this was ridiculous. the spicy scenes are even worse than the first book, i skipped most of them. there's also just way too many of them i cant even be bothered. all in all, i did not like this book's plot. BUTTT.....

some of the new characters introduced saved this story for me like the background characters are everything. hermes is everything to me. horny bastard. i love him dearly. hecate my sweet baby girl. 

totally skippable tbh. unless you're like me and can't leave a series unfinished.

<Disappointing writing. Choppy sentences. Often rushed. It quickly became boring. Persephone would screw up, get mad at Hades, distance herself, then make up with him again.  And the sex/make-up sex became boring pretty quickly. Seemed like every other page was another sex scene, overdone and typical. 
Poorly wrapped up problem with a stalker. Done in less than five minutes, then back to poorly written sex scenes. The first book in the series was better. Very disappointed in the rushed writing. Going to read book three for grins and giggles, hoping it will be better.>
