I’ve always been intrigued by the tale of Hades and Persephone, so I couldn’t wait to dive into Carbonneau’s fresh take on this classic story. What stood out to me was the unique twist—setting the fated mates in the modern world, with Persephone unable to remember their past life.

As Persephone seeks to forge her own path, she’s haunted by a mysterious male voice in her thoughts. Enter Hades, who offers her an irresistible job: serving as his personal companion at night. But only Hades knows the truth about their shared destiny and must patiently wait for her to rediscover it.

I really enjoyed following Persephone’s journey of self-discovery, as she proves to be anything but meek or easily swayed this time around. With just the right amount of spice, this story kept me invested in both the characters and their fate.
