The Power of Hades by Eliza Raine, Rose Wilson

The Power of Hades (The Hades Trials, #1)

by Eliza Raine and Rose Wilson

I've been kidnapped by Zeus. Plucked from the streets of Manhattan and frightened half to death by a freaking Olympian god.

And now I'm trapped in the Underworld, being forced to compete in a series of deadly trials for the position of Queen of the Underworld. Which would mean marrying Hades, the utterly terrifying Lord of the Dead. Who the hell wants a husband at all, let alone one made of smoke and riddled with death?

I have to get back home, to New York and my brother. But I can't leave without completing the trials and they've been designed for a godly Queen, not Persephone—barista and botanical garden enthusiast.

I'm surrounded by lethal, all-powerful maniacs. Sexy-as-hell maniacs, sure, but as dangerous as they come. And I'm going to have to prove to all of them that there's a goddess of hell inside me. It's the only way I'll survive the Hades Trials. But then what? And why, why, why am I so desperate to see under Hades smoky exterior and find out what he's hiding from me?

If I win the trials, I have to marry the devil himself. But losing might mean losing my life.

The Power of Hades is book 1 in the Hades Trials, which is intended for adults and is packed with magic, mythology and slow-burn soulmate romance! *Contains swearing and mature themes.*

Ahhhhhh okay so first of all the actual story in this book is fantastic. I really did not want to put it down! However the writing is not the best and I thought character and world building needed A LOT more work. This has so much potential to be absolutely fantastic in every way but the author did not dig deep enough in the story. I was always wanting more. More detail more feeling more everything. That being said I still really enjoyed it and will definitely be reading more.
*also do not go into this thinking it’s going to be a smutfest just because of the cover, it’s definitely not. 100% more story focused than anything else”
