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...
"Deliciously inventive...Red-hot."—Publishers Weekly STARRED
"I get shivers just thinking of their interactions. SHIVERS."—Mimi Koehler for The Nerd Dailey
“It takes a certain kind of person to gossip and mingle and backstab while their likeness stares down at them, but the Thirteen is filled with monsters like that.”
Katee Robert, Neon Gods
Neon Gods by Katee Robert is the first book in her new Dark Olympus series. If the upcoming books are anything like Neon Gods, the entire Dark Olympus series will be a wickedly sexy read, and chock full of fun with an unexpected and delightful twist on traditional Olympus lore.
For this retelling, Persephone isn’t just the daughter to Demeter—one of the Thirteen who rule Olympus—she’s also a pawn in Demeter’s grand plan. Hades isn’t even known to Olympus outside the Thirteen…he’s more myth than man and that is exactly how Zeus wants to keep it. Their fates and futures get tied together when Persephone takes a chance and flees Olympus to cross into the Lower City of Hades territory literally hours after her announced engagement to Zeus himself.
“His dark eyes give me absolutely nothing, which shouldn’t be thrilling. It truly shouldn’t. Watching this man’s control crack in real time is a desire that I can’t afford to have.”
Katee Robert, Neon Gods
What happens in the darkness of the Lower City? More than what Persephone had expected, especially with Hades alive and well and eager to stick it Zeus. Consider Neon Gods a dark, erotic retelling that is comparable to the popular Webtoon but eons better than any TikTok-famous story out there. Katee Robert weaves the classic Hades and Persephone mythology in a way that humanizes each of the characters and injects so much emotion that I could not read it fast enough.
Neon Gods is not for the faint of heart, nor is it your typical romance. Persephone relishes her time spent with Hades. Her journey of self-discovery go hand in hand with journey of sexual freedom as well as her fall into all those delicious feelings she has for Hades. While Persephone realizes that she doesn’t just have to be a dutiful daughter, Hades begins to understand that his lifelong revenge plot against Zeus has left his life bereft of any true connection with others.
“Every smart comment out of those pretty pink lips and sign of arch amusement in those hazel eyes makes me want to drag her down into the dark with me.”
Katee Robert, Neon Gods
The culmination of Neon Gods is truly a whirlwind. How Persephone, Demeter, Hades and Zeus all finally end up by the conclusion of this story is nothing short awesome. Be prepared to be on the edge of your seat and have the pages fly by because I was legit consumed with wondering how Katee Robert would tie this all up in the end.
I cannot begin to recommend Neon Gods enough!
