ROMANCE

Hot as Hades

by Alisha Rai
. NOT- -AVAIL-ABL-E.
COPY ISBN
The Greek myth about Hades and Persephone forms the basis for Rai's latest steamy endeavor. Brooding Hades sits on his throne contemplating the injustice of being considered the worst of the gods simply for ruling the Underworld when his solitude is interrupted by a naked woman dropping out of nowhere to land on his lap. And she's not just any woman, but a goddess who is unknown to Hades and who is rather surprised at her sudden trip to the land of the dead. As expected, the chemistry between Hades and Persephone, aka Sephie, is explosive, and Rai provides a few twists on the myth both to modernize it and remove the incestuous aspect of Hades being Persephone's uncle in the original version. This Sephie is no one's victim, and bad boy Hades is one goddess's dream.
VERDICT Rai's (Cabin Fever) revamped myth is a short, sexy romp through the Underworld with a powerful goddess and a misunderstood god. It will appeal to fans of Sherrilyn Kenyon's "Dark-Hunter" and "Dream-Hunter" series, which also reimagine deities of various pantheons.—Melanie C. Duncan, Shurling Lib., Macon, GA
