I freaking devoured His in the Dark by Willow Winters in one afternoon. I love all things Hades and Persephone and this book is the best retelling yet. Imagine having The Lord of the underworld wanting you so badly he has you stolen in the night? Oh my god yes! I loved seeing all my favorites from Greek mythology like Zeus, Demeter, Cerberus, Hermes, Hekate, and of course Hades and Persephone. Watching the lengths that Hades went through to acquire and keep Persephone was swoon worthy. Watching him make her his equal, his Queen had me melt in to a damn puddle. This is slow burn but once Persephone gives in to her desire for Hades, it’s on. This is slow burn but the build up was exquisite torture and I loved it. Be prepared for the cliffy at the end, we will have to patient until book 2 , His in the Fire is released in 2026.
