When Persephone was born, Zeus received a troubling prophecy. Some day his beautiful innocent daughter would be taken captive by Hades, the dark god of the underworld. Determined to protect her, her father hid her away in the human world where she would be shielded from her fate. Hades learned of this betrayal nine centuries ago. He’s been searching for his destined queen ever since. And when he … And when he finds her, no power on earth or below it will stop him. He will take her. He will corrupt her. And Zeus will suffer for daring to keep her from him.

One of my favorite authors ever has released Persephone in audio and it’s amazing! Dark romance lovers grab this book, devour it, then thank me later!
You can never go wrong with a Kitty Thomas book! This one’s available on audio now, for all of you audio lovers.
This is a dark, lush retelling of the Persephone myth as only Kitty Thomas could tell it. If you like your Greek mythology with a little (or a lot!) of kink and twisted psych, you won’t want to miss this story. And cherry on top, it’s now in audio, for those of you who like to listen. Highly recommend!
WOW…. Kitty gave this myth a delicious twist of her own and turned it into a modern-time version that rocks! I loved it!
Well this was a funky recreation of the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades! For very mature readers only, but well done! Its got a doozy of an ending!
Wow. I picked Persephone up on a whim. Of course, I already knew Kitty was the queen of kinky, but hot damn!
This was a magical and really original version of the timeless tale. I loved watching the couple navigate the relationship. Despite knowing the ending, there was still a couple of great twists.
If you’re looking for a fast, sexy, whimsical, and sexy tale pick this one up.
Love all of Kitty’s books!
I loved this retelling of Hades and Persephone. Kitty Thomas’ spin on the tale is fun and captivating. I really enjoyed Hades. He has so much power at his disposal yet uses it with care. I love the way he loves Persephone. Their connection is fierce, and I loved watching the way they help each other. The story came together beautifully.
Psssst. Audio lovers! Persephone is now available in audio. You can’t go wrong with Kitty Thomas. Her books are delightfully wicked and dark.
4.5 stars
I am not sure why, but I was expecting a teenage/high school type Hades and Persephone story. This story was anything but that! Kitty Thomas’s version is really dark. Like stuff that I would normally stay away from kind of dark. But in this case, and for reasons that I don’t really understand, I was totally in to it and it works. I listened to the audio version but have also had the ebook in my library for a long time as I have been wanting to read it forever. I’m glad that I got to listen because the guy narrating, Gregory Salinas, completely nailed it. Highly recommend this retelling, but as I said, it’s not for the faint of heart.
I absolutely fell in love with Persephone the first time I read it and I know you will too! Kitty Thomas always has a wicked way with words, but she takes her unique mind and applies it to an old myth in a totally new way – and it’s freaking amazing! Even better, it’s finally available in audio now so all the audio lovers can get these words blasted directly into their ears. Trust me, lovelies, if you haven’t checked this out yet you’re going to love it!! #swoon
I’ve been reading Kitty Thomas books way back since Comfort Food and Big Sky. I love them all, but I have a special fondness for mythological retelling so Persephone was basically made for me! Narrator Gregory Salinas makes a sexy, dark Hades in the audiobook version.
The story of Persephone and Hades…. HELL YES! Give it to meeeeee!
I am a sucker for dark romance and this beautiful story is breathtaking. You’re going to love it!
Loved this book, and I love the audio book even more!!!
Kitty knows how to lure a reader/listener in with her dark and steamy books and keep them captive to the end
Holy Hades this Audio melted my panties right off me while simultaneously making me swoon.
The undeniable connection not just sexually but emotionally and mentally between these two GODS is undeniable.
It’s been over two years since I read the book and I was quite excited to hear the audio and see if it had the same effect on me. The male narrator did a good job. Switching between female and male characters I find it’s more difficult for men to pull off. Gregory Salinas did a fine job of weaving between characters without pulling me out of the story. The ebb and flow, pronunciation and timbre of his voice transported me and brought Hades to life.
In this interpretation of Greek mythology, Kitty Thomas certainly delivers a story weaved with carnal desires. Hades is the Master of the Underworld and his seduction of Persephone (Goddess of Spring) is without bounds, as all pleasures of the body are indulged.
As a super fan of Kitty’s I don’t believe there’s anything she could write that could be wrong. Now being able to listen to her art, takes her writing to the next level. I cannot wait to hear and live vicariously through her next Audio.
This retelling of Hades and Persephone is beautifully crafted with a modern day twist of dark undertones and BDSM-themed elements. It was actually quite genius of the author with how creatively the mythology was adapted, and I loved the author’s vision of their dom/sub relationship as well as the description of the underworld itself. I wish I had a castle to grant my every desire! Gregory Salinas did an amazing job on narration and his range of voices is top notch. He especially delivered a stellar performance for Hades, creating a dark and sexy god that you can’t help but swoon over. I loved every minute of this brilliant and sinful tale!
A sweet retelling of that lovely mythology. If anyone could make it better that’s what Kitty has done right here. You will love this and even better it’s now in audio if you are of the listening type.
Wow! I have always loved Persephone’s story in Greek mythology. And this is a wonderfully ‘dark’ –I guess we could call it, but I mean it’s the Underworld! What can you expect?– retelling of the story. It was extremely sweet. Found myself crying and laughing, extremely frustrated and angry. Every emotion filling me was exactly where I needed to be in that moment and it heightened the story. Honestly, this made me want to know more of how Kitty views all of the other Greek gods and goddesses. Hell, any gods.
Just speak to me. Give me more words and I’ll be a billion times happier.
On a different note, it is really great. If you like Kitty’s previous work you will definitely enjoy this one. Especially if you’re into a little paranormal and enjoy some hot and heavy mythology.
Also! It’s in audible so don’t forget to check it out!
Amazingly dark and twisted. Kitty Thomas brings Persephone to life in this deliciously hot retelling of the King and Queen of the Underworld. No one brings the classic Greek mythology world and dark romance world together like Kitty Thomas.
