In this way, Hades sees a chance to push her to her limit, both to fulfill his own desires and give her a chance to fulfill hers. She seeks power but lacks the self-confidence to create it for herself. She’s drawn to him but also craves freedom. Her passion, grit, and tenacity make her a great foil to Hades. If you belong to him, he will tear the world apart to save you.” – Scarlett St. He cares for his people, protects them, and he takes it personally if anyone is harmed. “ They say Hades is protective of his realm, and while that is true, it isn’t about power. I love how he embraces the mask of the manipulative “deal with the devil” character while at the same time caring deeply about the souls in his care, finding ways to better a human’s life in ways they may not be ready to face. If you’re looking for the perfect dark, morally-gray love interest, you really have to look no further than Hades. He’s clever, charming, and respectful but also prone to violence, passion, and darkness. Clair balances the different aspects of Hades to make him such a well rounded character. I think what I love about this one though is how St. I must admit, I do need to look more into the myths to see just what the original stories were and their details, but the bedrock of this story makes for a fascinating and passionate romance of taboo. Both have Persephone fearing her mother and the restrictions on her freedom that Demeter has no problem putting on her. Both place Minthe as the jealous ex-lover that sparks Persephone’s jealousy.
Both place Persephone as a college student and Hades as a wealthy business owner. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows-and it’s forbidden.Ī Touch of Darkness reminds me a lot of another retelling, Lore Olympus. The bet does more than expose Persephone’s failure as a Goddess, however. 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.
Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. After moving to New Athens, she hopes to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. The truth is, since she was a little girl, flowers have shriveled at her touch. Persephone is the Goddess of Spring by title only. I love the idea that Hades fell in love with Persephone and genuinely cares for her. I can’t resist stories that take a more nuanced look at Hades, instead of portraying him as evil through and through. A Touch of Darkness takes the myths and legends of these two notorious Greek Gods and puts them in a modern setting, letting their relationship grow around conflict and passion.
I was pulled in again to another Hades and Persephone retelling.
