She is tasked with creating life in the Underworld, which seems like an impossible task considering she does not have full control of her powers and can only destroy life, not create it. The story centers around a contract between Hades and Persephone after a chance encounter at his nightclub. Her best friend, Lex, a mortal, is also her roommate and the two of them share everything together, but Lex is in the dark that Persephone is not actually a mortal. The two of them have a more strained relationship in this story, which works for the purposes of the plot. Here, Demeter is more overly protective and tries to keep Persephone as sheltered as possible.
Their relationship is not quite, what I remember from mythology where the two of them have a mutual loving relationship. Persephone, the Goddess of Spring, is now living in the mortal world as a college student after being granted permission by her mother, Demeter, the Goddess of Harvest. It was nothing like I expected, but it was a fun start to a series and an excellent escape read that was interesting yet simple. I was even more anxious to see what it was about and if it would be a series worth continuing.
When I mentioned to my friend that I was starting this, she said it was actually a featured novel that went around on TikTok/BookTok. Going into this book blind was interesting as I had no idea, what kind of story it would turn out to be, except that it would be the start of a series. I actually picked up this book simply because it featured Hades and Persephone and skipped over the synopsis.
