Hello everyone! I hope y’all are holding up. I’m going out of town soon so that will be a nice change of scenery and I’ll definitely get some reading done during the car ride. My TBR stack is pretty hefty right now so I’ll have plenty of content coming soon. I am pretty set on only reading physical books. This isn’t me throwing shade at anyone who reads e-books. I just struggle to pay attention when the book is digital. The same goes for audiobooks. I prefer to have the physical book in my hands because it feels like I can absorb the content better. Now, let’s end my rambling and talk about A Game of Gods.

Hades, the God of the Dead, has done everything to protect his beloved Persephone and guarantee their marriage. While they are both excited, they are also aware that Persephone’s mother Demeter will stop at nothing to tear them apart, even if it means hurting others. Demeter is not the only threat to Hades and the rest of the gods. Theseus, a son of Zeus, is gaining allies as his plan to overthrow the gods is starting to come to fruition. Despite the danger, Hades is determined to make Persephone his bride and is willing to play increasingly dangerous games where anyone can be an enemy and allies are far from guaranteed.

This book was by far the thickest addition to this series and had the most plot by far. I do appreciate the balance between the plot and the main point of this book: the adult content. I personally really enjoyed how “involved” this book was this multiple points of view and an interesting subplot that was a bit of a re-telling of the myth of Dionysus and Ariadne. I also appreciate that Scarlett St. Clair admits that this book is meant to be a bit of a soap opera because it delivers in the most enjoyable way. This series has been a fun and sexy time. I’m certainly looking forward to seeing how this continues as this book ended on a cliff hanger and I need to know what happens next.
