This is my second time with Persephone. I read it when it came out in ebook and print back in 2017. I was excited to get back into Persephone’s world, now available on audio.
So, this story is a BDSM retelling of Hades and Persephone’s story. It starts out with Persephone working at a flower shop in New York City. That is until Hades finally finds her, kidnaps her and takes her to the Underworld.
Persephone doesn’t realize she’s a goddess with her powers stripped from her. Her father Zeus, also took away any sexual desire that she had. Hades works to bring back her desire. But how can a goddess of spring and growing things live in a world of the dead?
Narration:
This is my first time listening to Gregory Salinas. I thought he did a really great job with the voice of Hades. His voice of Persephone was done really well as well. I have to say I enjoyed this story better the second time around and I can’t help but think that the narration has something to do with that.
**I'd like to thank the author for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
