The mere mention of the Wraith of Khaos Falls is enough to keep order, and he is rarely forced to leave the shadows of Casino Asphodel.Īnd Persephone clawed her way out of Demeter’s shadow to reach it.
He may do all the work, and Zeus may get all the credit, but at least it allows Hades to preserve the one thing he truly cares to have: his solitude. Official Goodreads Synopsis: They say he’s a myth…Īnd Hades prefers it that way. If you haven’t added this one to your TBR yet, you need to because it’s everything you’ll want and more.ĭo you enjoy Hades x Persephone retellings? Be sure to share your favorites below.Content Warnings: sexual content, manipulative family relationships, violence Plus this book doesn’t even have 400 ratings on Goodreads which is a crime. Virtues’ debut, you really can’t ask for more.
Virutes weaves such a compelling narrative along with the romance and even some, BDSM elements.Ĭonsidering that this is R.M. Of course, you can expect some drama and shenanigans from Zeus. Additionally in this world, Hades owns a casino/club where Persephone performs as a dancer.Īfter Hades sees Persephone dance and is entranced, he decides that he has to make Persephone his and the story unfolds from there.
In this version, Persphone is a trans heroine while Hades is demisexual. Virtues gave us a Black love story along with some queer elements, too. However, Drag Me Up reworks the myth, and it’s such a refreshing take. Either way, there is no shortage of retellings to go around. You could go for steam as in Katee Robert’s Neon Gods or a graphic version with Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe. It feels like, in recent years, there have been tons of Hades x Persephone retellings, and rightfully so as there are a lot of different ways to interpret it. Drag Me Up is the Hades and Persphone retelling you didn’t know you needed. While it’s not a huge threshold, it’s definitely not an easy milestone.ĭrag Me Up shockingly doesn’t even have 500 ratings on Goodreads which is a crime and is why it deserves to be discussed all the more. The general rule of thumb is that all of the books featured in “#TBRTrending” have less than 1,000 ratings on Goodreads.
While growing your TBR isn’t always ideal, sometimes it’s worth adding something new.Īdditionally, this is also a great way to maybe discover some new authors or find a book that’s not being talked about as much as it should be. Virtues was an easy pick for this installment of #TBRTrending.įor those who haven’t seen the first installment of “#TBRTrending,” this is an entirely new series in which your TBR grows larger each week and essentially “trending” upward rather than decreasing. Summer keeps slipping away but thankfully, we have books to make things feel a little bit less terrifying.
