Neon Gods (Dark Olympus Book 1) by Katee Robert- $1.99 for a limited time. SHIVERS.”-Mimi Koehler for The Nerd Dailey “I get shivers just thinking of their interactions. “Deliciously inventive…Red-hot.”- Publishers Weekly STARRED 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… 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. Hades has spent his life in the shadows, and he has no intention of stepping into the light. 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. 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. 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. *A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Hades and Persephone that’s as sinful as it is sweet.* But from the moment I crossed the River Styx and fell under his dark spell…he was, quite simply, mine. ![]()
