Publisher's summary

A Touch of Darkness from Hades' POV (with new scenes)!

Hades, god of the underworld, is known for his inflexible rule, luxurious night clubs, and impossible bargains. Used to control, he is not prepared to discover the Fates have chosen his future wife and queen - Persephone, goddess of spring.

Despite her attraction to the god, Persephone, an ambitious journalism student, is determined to expose Hades for his cruel and ruthless ways.

Hades finds himself faced with the impossible - proving his future bride wrong. Regardless of his efforts, there are forces who wish to keep the two apart, and Hades comes to realize he will do anything for his forbidden love, even defy fate.

Contains mature themes.

Narration made me fall asleep

I loved the story but hated the narrator. He was so robotic and monotoned. Poor inflections. Sounded like he was reading a boring textbook.
They should’ve just have kept Meg Sylvan since we are used to her voice for Hades, and she’s an excellent narrator.

I like the narrator!

When I bought this audio book, I read a lot of reviews about the boring narrator. The first chapter I was afraid the reviews were right. But after listening for a while, I truly came to love Tyler Donne as Hades. He fit the character in my mind and I like the way he depicted the other God's in the story. I love Hades point of view and I love this story!

Cringy narrator

This book is amazing. I honestly prefer Hades’ POV to Persephone’s but this is honestly the worst narrator I think I’ve ever listened to. So monotone, no different tones for different characters and not at ALL how Hades should sound. I wanted to return within a chapter. Hopefully they get a different one for the second…

Great!!

This was perhaps the BEST retelling of a good book from the romantic partner's POV EVER. It wasn't a repeat of the story from the male's POV. It was an ENTIRE different story with a FEW familiar scenes from Hades' POV. FANTASTIC.

I love this series

Scarlett St. Clair is probably my favorite author and I love that this brings in Hades view. The narrator made this really hard to listen to at times. He’s very monotones and I did fall asleep at one point. I think he does a good job when is speaking as the characters but when he is describing the actions it’s hard to listen to.

Liked Seeing This From Hades Perspective

While initially I thought this would just be a rehash of A Touch of Darkness, there is a lot of new information introduced that really lays out Hades character better and explains a lot more of the original plot. I do wish the narrator had more of a deeper voice though.

Love her books but not this voice actor

Love these books and to hear hades perspective but I had the hardest time listening to it as intensely as Persephone’s version because this voice actor’s voice is blah.
