A Touch of Darkness

It's 3.5 stars (please Goodreads let me add halves😭) for me.

I really enjoyed the story, it felt quite like a 2016 Wattpad story, although much better written. But it brought me back to those times where I didn't care as much about an amazing book as I wanted to get absorbed by the story.

I gotta say this kind of light reads always get me out of reading slumps, which was where I'd been when I started reading it. And now I'm hooked and will keep reading the rest of this series 😂

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

*FOR REAL, STOP READING, THERE'S SPOILERS AHEAD*

I swear, in the last 40 pages, Scarlett, did you really have to pull a After? (Bear in mind I don't know which story got out first, but damn) Everything was good and smooth until the "we fell in love because of a bet" trope made an appearance 😭 I think that and Hades always waking Sephy up to get sex without even letting her fully awaken, like dude... I don't know it's one of the things that made me cringe each time🤷🏼‍♀️

At first I didn't really like Persephone, I felt she was a spoiled child acting out against a controlling child. She did things at first that if she were anyone else, she would have been killed. But once she began to get know herself, a lot of this action stopped, and she began to get more mature. She did have trust issues though.

I especially liked how her best friend stayed with her through the whole book and had a really strong friendship. It never wavered like I feel can happen in a lot of other books. It definitely made me feel better, and more optomistic, reading about a relationship like that one.
