I enjoyed the spin on classic mythology, and the sexier elements of the book really fit the myth incredibly well. Let’s start with the things I like about this book. The two of them engage in a steamy deal that is about to turn Olympus on its head. Hades wants revenge on Zeus for destroying his family, and with Persephone, he sees an opportunity to get it. Marriage to Zeus is essentially a death sentence so she flees and heads across the River Styx to the undercity where she makes a deal with Hades – a man she thought was a myth. But when her mother Demeter announces her engagement to Zeus, Persephone decides to run. Persephone Dimitriou is a society darling but longs to escape the city of Olympus and its politics. Neon Gods is a modern tale on the classic Greek myth of Hades and Persephone. Did I enjoy the experience of reading it? Yes. However, my thoughts on this book are complicated.
Plus, it’s a Hades/Persephone retelling so I’m a sucker for that. Neon Gods has been everywhere on bookstagram recently and I knew I had to give it a try. Links: Amazon – Barnes & Noble – Goodreads
