Oh my people!!!! I need a fan to cool me down after reading this one!!!!
Oh the Spice level is super high.
The characters are so not what I expected!
The twists and turns are amazing!
I highly recommend this one - I gave it 5 stars on Amazon and Goodreads.
This is a modern retelling of Persephone and Hades. Now my 14 year old daughter is super into mythology. So she saw me reading this and wanted to read it after me. Ummm, yikes! Noooo!
So, Katee Robert now has my full and complete attention! I have pre-ordered her next book and have decided to pick up her other books as well to keep reading. But who am I kidding, I am totally gonna re-read this one.
I did order it and then, while waiting for my copy to arrive, I downloaded it on my reader from my library. Now, the copy was to arrive next day mind you, and when it did, I was already on like Chapter 21!!!!! I was hooked I tell you!!!
The chemistry between the characters was so hot and those personal relationships kept me going. And I am not only talking about between Persephone and Hades. All of them! There is so much backstory and intrigue that I am excited to see what else Katee writes about.
So, if you like the spice and you love retellings and want something amazing to read, pick up NEON GODS by Katee Robert! You will not regret it.
On Goodreads:
He was supposed to be a myth. But from the moment I crossed the River Styx and fell under his dark spell... he was, quite simply, mine.
Society darling Persephone Dimitriou plans to flee the ultra-modern city of Olympus and start over far from the backstabbing politics of the Thirteen Houses. But all that’s ripped away when her mother ambushes her with an engagement to Zeus, the dangerous power behind their glittering city’s dark facade.
With no options left, Persephone flees to the forbidden undercity and makes a devil’s bargain with a man she once believed a myth... a man who awakens her to a world she never knew existed.
Hades has spent his life in the shadows, and he has no intention of stepping into the light. But when he finds that Persephone can offer a little slice of the revenge he’s spent years craving, it’s all the excuse he needs to help her—for a price. Yet every breathless night spent tangled together has given Hades a taste for Persephone, and he’ll go to war with Olympus itself to keep her close…
A modern retelling of Hades and Persephone that’s as sinful as it is sweet.
