Tempting Hades

A Greek God Romance

De: Emma Hamm

Narrado por: Olivia Featherton

He offered her more than a throne. More than the Underworld. He offered her a love that would withstand the test of time.

Maiden, Daughter, Goddess of Spring. She has many names, and none of them fit. Kore lives her life in a gilded cage, loved by all but understood by none.

When Hades appears out of the darkness with promises of midnight and glory on his tongue, he offers her a kingdom. Lays eternity at her feet. Bids her eat and drink from the land of the dead. The ichor tastes bitter, but she's never felt such a thrilling sting.

Then he calls her a new name. Persephone.

Bringer of Death.

But the gods want them separated, and few can trick the Olympians. Of course she eats the pomegranate. He offers it to her with a promise to lay the world at her feet. But she only wants him....

For fans of Circe, Shadow & Bone, and Serpent & Dove, you'll fall head over heels with this twist on the classic myth.

love!

I love Hades and Persephone this was a great retelling I'll definitely be re-listening to the story again

Great Retelling

Absolutely wondrous retelling and re-imagining of the Hades and Persephone storyline. Narrator is great and storyline is amazing!!

Lovely

A new version of an old story, that will make your heart sing. A new favorite of mine.

amazing

it's just such a good retelling it seems pretty true to the myth I just wish there was a little bit of more than ending with the kid but it's still amazing story

Narrator loop

Narrator loops audio for the first hour in. An entire chapter is repeated. Other than that, amazing read!

Beautifully written

This retelling was everything I have come to expect from Emma Hamm, who is one of my favorite authors! Hades and Kore were both so beautifully written that I feel like I could know what they were thinking and feeling. Emma does a great job of showing us, instead of just telling us, and the setting of this book is absolutely breathtaking. I also love that each character had to balance good and evil. It made them feel realistic. I absolutely couldn’t put this one down and I’m so glad that my high expectations were met!

Loved it

Loved this version of Persephone and Hades love story. Good addition while waiting for more Lore Olympus <3

Fantastic story!

this was so good! I could not stop. I looked forward to it every day. The reader was great! would recommend outta 10!!

I had a difficult time finishing this story

So first off, the narrator kept pulling me out of the story with her odd pronunciations, the biggest of which was pronouncing “Kore” like “core” instead of “cor-ee”.

The story itself was okay but seemed really halfhearted and predictable. Not my favorite retelling. Even the spicier seems we’re “meh” at best.

Love you Emma but no.

I love Emma Hamm but I just couldn't emotionally invest in these characters or care about what happens to them! Kind of ruins a book in my opinion, but that's just me.
