When Zeus’ people come after her, Persephone has two choices: turn back and let others decide her life for her, or make a devil’s bargain with the man, the myth, the legend himself: Hades. Not one to play her mother’s games any longer and far too afraid of what Zeus will do to her if he gets that ring on her finger, Persephone flees her impromptu engagement party and decides to run away. Planning to leave the ultra-modern city of Olympus behind her as soon as her inheritance kicks in, her plans get thwarted when Zeus-yes, the Zeus- announces his and Persephone’s engagement, orchestrated by her mother. Neon Gods, the first installment in Robert’s new series Dark Olympus, follows Persephone Dimitriou, a society darling who wants nothing to do with her mother’s ambitions. Not convinced that you need this book in your life yet? Alright, let me elaborate. And boom, you have my review for Neon Gods by Katee Robert. Got it? Now imagine you find that book-the one you dreamed about-delivered right into your hands. Imagine your perfect romance-the flaws you want the characters to have, the moments you want them to share, the ups and downs of their courtship you want to be part of, the steamy scenes you want to have a front-row seat (wink wink) to, and the ending that will make your heart shatter and grow back together stronger than ever. Never have I wanted so badly to reread a book while still reading it. I’m struggling to articulate just how enamoured I was by this book.
Me: “There’s no such thing as a perfect Hades and Persephone retelling.”
Forgive the fuck out of me if I want to return the favor.”
