And she certainly had no idea that he was telling the truth. Her Greek vacation was about to become very...interactive.A Hades/Persephone re-imagining.**The Contemporary Mythos series will feature a different Greek god in each book re-exploring their myths and combining contemporary romance tropes.

Honestly, I really wanted to like this book, but it just didn't hit the mark for me. A bunch of moments had me cringing, and the main character's obsession with Dirty Dancing added an odd element. As another review mentioned, I just didn't understand why Steph suddenly decided to spy on Hades with binoculars. That part felt so out of left field. Overall, it felt like the story was just going through the motions without a real plot unfolding.
I kept waiting for something exciting to happen, but it just never did. The characters didn't have much depth, and I couldn't really pick a favorite. I don't think I'll be reading the rest of the series. It's not super long, so I pushed through because I don't really enjoy DNF'ing books. Would I reread it? No. Would I recommend it to friends? Not really, no.
