Publisher's summary

Elena

To most, Kal Anderson is a villain. Harbinger of death, keeper of souls, frequenter of nightmares. Doctor Death. Hades incarnate. They say he stole me. Usurped my fiancé and filled the cracks in my heart with empty promises. Imprinted his crimson fingerprints on my psyche and tried to set me free. They’re not wrong, per se.

Except it was my choice to stay.

Kal

To most, Elena Ricci is an innocent. Goddess of springtime, lover of poetry, angel of my nightmares. Little one. Persephone personified. They say I ruined her. Shattered her virtue and devoured her soul like a succulent pomegranate. Embedded my evil as deep as I could possibly get and tried to set her free. They’re not wrong, per se.

Except it was she who ruined me.

Promises and Pomegranates is a full-length, stand-alone dark contemporary romance inspired by the Hades and Persephone myth. It is not fantasy or a literal retelling.

Definitely a great read

I fell in love with this story so easily, it wasn’t slow but it wasn’t so fast that you got confused. It just kept building and growing, I honestly couldn’t stop listening.

The dirty talk is Top Tier

This was one wild ride and I'm looking forward to so much more in the series.

Here's what I loved:
It's dark and delicious.
Cal is no joke. The wedding scene tho!
Kinky fun.
Touch her and die vibes
This cover is mind blowing!

A fantastic start! I'm super excited for more!

Great performances, but eh story

The relationship here tends to float around some very questionable waters. However, the narrators are great!

Sav really did the lords work with Kal

*Insert the feral meme here*

I was feral for this when I physically read it Sept 6, 2021. And I have been re-feralized March 10, 2024. Bless Sav for this.

Obsessed

The Smutt was everything. Dark romance mafia trope. I ate it up and left no crumbs.

My first listen and read from this author

I liked the story but I couldn’t help but feel the main characters’ connection wasn’t true. It was like their connection was right out of my grasp. I couldn’t put my finger on it but I felt like something was missing.

narrators were awesome! loved the story & wanted more! knife play isn't really my thing but to each his own and it didn't negatively affect the story for me in any way. bravo all around!

Hard to finish

I really really wanted to like this book, a main male character similar to Hades and a main female character similar to Persephone, what’s not to like?… Well, in this book it was absolutely painful to listen to. Kal berates Elaina and treats her as a child through much of the story, and I’m sorry but the cutting and drinking of blood in the spicy moments was a big no and may turn your stomach as it did mine. There wasn’t much of a plot and the story could have been so much better. The ending was basically just thrown at us and really made no sense. Honestly save your credits and money. This one is not great by any means. The only parallels to Hades and Persephone was the frequent pomegranates mentioned.
