Neon Gods: A Scorchingly Hot Modern Retelling of Hades and Persephone (Dark Olympus, 1)

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.

*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Hades and Persephone that's as sinful as it is sweet.*

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 thrilling, modern, mafia-esque hades and persephone retelling. Love that they're both bisexual and kinky. Looking forward to the rest of the series

I loved the aspect of FWB gone wrong. Hades and Persephone propose a plan that consist of them “using” each other as a way to smite their families. It starts with a unwanted betrothal between Persephone and Zeus that was arranged by Persephone’s mother Demeter. To escape Zeus hand in marriage she stumbles into the handed of Hades who she uses to “taint” her so Zeus doesn’t want her and to anger her mother. While Hades tends to use Persephone as a pawn to taunt Zeus. But we all know how FWB always end. Someone ends up falling in love and this story is no exception.
