A Touch of Darkness by Scarlett St. Clair: A Book Review


Book Description

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.

Book Review

I absolutely loved this book. I have never read anything by this author before, but I may have just become obsessed! This modern retelling of Persephone and Hades has everything you could possibly want! Romance, intrigue, fantastic character development, quick pace, and so much more! I love forward to binge reading the rest of this series.

5/5 stars!
