I love this book. I am a sucker for Greek mythology and when I realized that both Hades and Persephone were Black. I was hooked.

 The book lived up the promise of the blurb and more. 
It was more than the hot sex (and it was really hot) but it was the talk about boundaries with family, about self-care, and love. I also love how this is the first time I have seen a retelling where Persephone is not a victim or a trophy but an equal partner to Hades. 

Also I want to shout out the trans rep. That was everything to me. I will recommend this book forever.
