A Touch of Darkness

Hades & Persephone Series, Book 1

By: Scarlett St. Clair

Narrated by: Meg Sylvan

Persephone is the Goddess of Spring by title only. The truth is, since she was a little girl, flowers have shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hopes to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist.

Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible.

After a chance encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead and the terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever.

The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows - and it's forbidden.

Contains mature themes.

Narrator was hard to listen to.

I'm only a few chapters in and I cannot stand the narrator. You're better off buying the book. The attempt at male voices is terrible, she makes them sound "posh" and stuck up. I don't know.... I'm going to buy the book and read it for myself.

Very spicy

Overall I really enjoyed this read. It was very spicy. If you enjoy Greek mythology, this is perfect with super spicy and blushing moments. Recommend!!!

LOVED it

I have been searching for something new to listen to while doing my work around the house and outside. Against the first review I went for it anyway. The story is beautiful and keeps you on the edge of your seat just enough but leaves you satisfied and wanting for more!

A better alternative

I loved the story line. So different and positive. Exactly how the story should be told, rather than the greek tragedy. I gave it 4 stars as the love scenes were long and drawn out
Believe me I like mommy porn,but I ff over the scenes boaring. That said I'm looking forward to listening to the next book. Well Done!❤️

Greek mythology

Good book, lots of sex scenes. I liked this version of the myth. Going to read more of the series.
