I don’t think I have enough daddy issues to appreciate this book but it was almost all sex and kink and I’m not into that. So maybe it just wasn’t the book for me.

Must read.

This book was a 4/5 stars for me. I truly enjoyed the authors retelling of this story and the character that Persephone portrayed. The spice is hot and adds to the story instead of taking away from it. Although, the plot and ending was a little obvious and the story lacked world building, it’s a great one day romance read with a slight fantasy twist to it.

I really enjoyed this version of the hades x Persephone, I’m just not sure why there are so many completely blank pages. Is it a glitch ? Who knows, it adds to the length of the book page wise but it’s disappointing that there’s blank pages every couple of chapters.

It was okay, but I don’t plan to read any more of these books. The whole thing was slightly less than, imo.

Couldn’t stop reading it! I felt ALL the emotions reading this one. I’m a total sucker for Hades. Highly recommend!!

The spice level was okay but I didn’t like the fact that random people become the gods. It’s an interesting concept, just not for me.

I’m unfamiliar with Katee Robert’s other novels. Truthfully, the reason why I chose to read Neon Gods is because the story is a spicy spin on the Greek Myth of Hades and Persephone. So, I started reading this story with no expectations. Persephone finds out that she is betrothed to Zeus. This version is a ruthless power hungry, known killer who made a deal with Demeter. Demeter who was thinking only for herself obviously. To make a long story short, Persephone steps out to get some air with one of her sisters ( Callisto, I think) because this new revelation is a lot to digest., Persephone runs off while her sister runs back inside to retrieve her purse. She is tailed by one of Zeus’ minions. The only place where she can seek refuge is across the bridge between Olympus and the Underworld right into the arms of Hades. Hades who reluctantly takes her in knowing that this decision will start a war at some point with Zeus. Persephone’s public perception is that she’s chaste but she’s not. An plan is created to publicly defile her carnally in one of Hades’ playrooms and she agrees knowing the consequences. One thing that she doesn’t take into account is falling in love with Hades. My rating for this book is four stars out of five. I am willing to read any and every retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth. This Gods in this story are human’s taking up each mantle but everything is about perception.

I loved the steamy parts. However, everything else seemed very cheesy and tropey.

AMAZING!! Careful where you read it though, the spice level is high! The detail, the fact that it’s full of consent is so hot, and the tasteful way she paints the picture of kink and fetish play is refreshing to say the least. She’s reversing the damage done by 59 shades of grey. The retelling of the Olympus hierarchy was genius, she really made this story her own and i loved that. Cannot wait to get into book 2!
