This is what you were thinking of, I’m sure of it. His hands go upward, and he’s testing the curve of my ass. Oh, my god, I might not survive this, not even one single day. “Here, until they’re criss-crossed with stripes from my belt.” His belt.

He drops my foot and runs two hands hard up the backs of my legs, then squeezes the backs of my thighs. God, what kind of horrible things does this man have up his sleeve? Is there no limit? No, whispers that voice. Then the quick swipe of a fingertip on the tops of my feet. “I could punish you here.” He draws a finger down the center, the spot so sensitive I throw my head back against the wall and squeeze my eyes closed. “Punishment,” he says, as if I’ve been a naughty schoolgirl, being intentionally obtuse, “can take many forms.” He wraps two fingers around my ankle and lifts my foot off the ground, exposing the tender arch. I give this story a 4-star review and suggest that if you like dark, twisted stories, then you should pick this on up, but beware there is a cliffhanger.įollow Sassy Redhead Book Reviews on WordPress.Hades kneels down in front of me, and even kneeling, he is absolutely in control.

Luther will not only put his life in danger with Demeter by keeping Persephone, but he also has to worry about his health because Demeter’s deal with him could end if she doesn’t find her daughter, or if she finds out he has her. The deceit and twists in this book are dark and dangerous. Their arrangement could cause both of them their lives, but they also can’t back out of their arrangement. Hades and Persephone’s meeting will bring them both to realizations about their lives and who they are. She loves the sunshine, flowers, and fields, but she wants to go to the city and especially the New York City Library. She wants to leave the fields that she has been working for the better part of her life helping her mother. She is naïve about the world around her outside of her mother’s fences. Persephone is sheltered by her mother, Demeter.

There are many rumors about Luther and his mountain mansion. He despises he brother Zeus that lives in the city and rules there. He makes a lot of bargains with people when they find themselves in his path and fear for their lives. He gets what he wants, and he doesn’t make any excuses for how he lives or what he does. Luther Hades lives in a mansion on the mountain. A modern retelling of Hades and Persephone that is dark, twisted, and left me hanging.
