And he’s chosen Persephone. All Persephone has ever desired is control of her own life, and someone noticing her once in a while. Kept in her mother’s shadow, and overlooked by the entirety of Olympus, her dream seems impossible… and now she’s doomed to wed a dull god of her mother’s choosing… Until she crosses paths with a handsome, dark warrior who rouses wildfire heat in her veins—a male whose immense power is unmistakable, and who matches the fearful tales whispered in Olympus—stories of a cruel, heartless king who rules his realm of death with an iron fist. When Hades abducts her and imprisons her in the depths of the Underworld, a dormant part of her awakens. And as she slowly discovers the truth about him, Persephone isn’t sure whether the snarling, dark beast of a king is her doom… or her saviour… but she knows one thing…  She will embrace the fire he awakens in her with every heated glance, and every vicious growl. And use it to tame him and forge her dreams into reality. Because, Persephone, the quiet, gentle goddess of nature, desires a king. And nothing will stop her from claiming his black heart. Queen of the Underworld is a forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers paranormal romance novel retelling the Greek myth of Hades and Persephone, and a prequel in my Guardians of Hades series. In the vein of an adult beauty and the beast, it features a grumpy-sunshine pairing that will steal your heart, with a secretly cinnamon roll hero and a secretly fiery heroine, and a powerful forever kind of love. All Guardians of Hades books have no cliffhangers, a guaranteed happily ever after, and some strong language.

Instead, beneath the shadowy exterior is someone far warmer and more intriguing than she bargained for, and a scheme built on spite starts turning into something real.\n\nPetty Cupid is the first entry in Sarah Blue's Love in the Veil series: a short, spicy, tongue-in-cheek paranormal romance about opposites attracting across very different corners of the supernatural world.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kmt2twek1tek65q95mhv3wjs.jpg","LES2yZ+_#T%MrskqTJiw?^V@jEbb",117,[368],{"id":369,"slug":370,"name":371},"01kmt2twedy3m0a3g9d7mex1q5","sarah-blue-654v","Sarah Blue",[373,374,375,376,380],{"id":52,"name":53,"slug":54,"is_fiction":22},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":22},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":22},{"id":377,"name":378,"slug":379,"is_fiction":22},38,"Romantic Comedy","romantic-comedy",{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":22},[382],{"id":383,"slug":384,"name":385,"position":188,"is_main_entry":22,"parent_id":14,"parent_slug":14,"parent_name":14},"01kmt2twfvbwkscnv4ddgxefja","love-in-the-veil-ewbh","Love in the Veil",{"pace":91,"complexity":14,"audience":93,"mood":387,"themes":390,"setting_period":14,"summary":392,"content_warnings":14},[95,262,191,388,389],"lighthearted","whimsical",[391],"fake-dating","Newly single and off her game, the cupid Love recruits a brooding grim reaper to escort her to Cupidale's Valentine's Ball and make her ex jealous.

The moment her husband returns to the capital, the house turns against Beatriz — cold spots, voices, red eyes in the dark, and dreams that leave marks. Isolated and disbelieved, she turns to Padre Andrés, a young local priest who carries a dangerous secret of his own: an inherited gift for witchcraft that the Church would see him burn for. Together they must confront whatever malevolence has taken root in San Isidro before it consumes them.\n\nIsabel Cañas's atmospheric debut braids gothic horror, slow-burning romance, and the real violence of colonial-era Mexico into a haunted-house story told in two voices, as unsettling as it is romantic.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfh6kevcy89prnvvhsmnf8z.jpg","LA5=*Cr.E1L4WZg4e-i^ERW9s+sq",388,[706],{"id":707,"slug":708,"name":709},"01kkfh6kekjg81zwg1ytg9mskg","canas-isabel-lkrg","Isabel Cañas",[711,715,719,723,727,731,735,739,740,741,742],{"id":712,"name":713,"slug":714,"is_fiction":22},47,"Gothic","gothic",{"id":716,"name":717,"slug":718,"is_fiction":22},6,"Mystery","mystery",{"id":720,"name":721,"slug":722,"is_fiction":22},5,"Thriller","thriller",{"id":724,"name":725,"slug":726,"is_fiction":22},7,"Horror","horror",{"id":728,"name":729,"slug":730,"is_fiction":22},40,"Suspense","suspense",{"id":732,"name":733,"slug":734,"is_fiction":22},52,"Paranormal Horror","paranormal-horror",{"id":736,"name":737,"slug":738,"is_fiction":22},218,"Haunted House","haunted-house",{"id":478,"name":479,"slug":480,"is_fiction":22},{"id":52,"name":53,"slug":54,"is_fiction":22},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":22},{"id":743,"name":744,"slug":745,"is_fiction":22},41,"Psychological Thriller","psychological-thriller",[],{"pace":627,"complexity":14,"audience":93,"mood":748,"themes":750,"setting_period":14,"summary":701,"content_warnings":14},[96,192,749,97,95],"creepy",[265,148,751],"slow-burn",{"id":360,"slug":361,"title":362,"description":363,"primary_cover_url":364,"cover_blurhash":365,"first_publish_year":333,"community_rating_avg":188,"community_rating_count":16,"page_count":366,"authors":753,"genres":755,"series":761,"enrichment":763},[754],{"id":369,"slug":370,"name":371},[756,757,758,759,760],{"id":52,"name":53,"slug":54,"is_fiction":22},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":22},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":22},{"id":377,"name":378,"slug":379,"is_fiction":22},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":22},[762],{"id":383,"slug":384,"name":385,"position":188,"is_main_entry":22,"parent_id":14,"parent_slug":14,"parent_name":14},{"pace":91,"complexity":14,"audience":93,"mood":764,"themes":765,"setting_period":14,"summary":392,"content_warnings":14},[95,262,191,388,389],[391],{"id":767,"slug":768,"title":769,"description":770,"primary_cover_url":771,"cover_blurhash":772,"first_publish_year":9,"community_rating_avg":14,"community_rating_count":19,"page_count":773,"authors":774,"genres":779,"series":783,"enrichment":788},"01kra32qa8w05c7m3m6y22ar7j","fae-heir-brlm","Fae Heir","When the heir of Embermere dies unexpectedly, new royal successors must be crowned through the Fae Heir Trials — a brutal tournament whose victors will marry and rule the fae lands.

After her mother's death, Taylor Hale is sent to live with her father, his new wife, and a stepsister who makes no secret of resenting her. Her plan is simply to survive senior year unnoticed.\n\nThat plan collapses when she meets James Champlain, whose family owns half the island, including the old mansion known as the Tower. James is drawn to Taylor and she to him, but he can see things other people cannot, and he is careful about what he says. As strange events accumulate around Taylor, it becomes clear that the island sits on a fault line between older forces.\n\nThe book leans on the familiar furniture of YA paranormal romance: the outsider heroine, the wealthy and secretive love interest, a small town with a hidden order beneath it. It is the first of three books, and it ends on the promise of what comes next rather than a resolution.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kxejvy6qzbyy6gj5kat259k5.jpg?v=e8b7d1d4c2","LZGt$?s:NvNG~q-pIofk.8S#r?xG",2020,316,[817],{"id":818,"slug":819,"name":820},"01kxejvy736xfh8va0d4tvvgb3","leigh-walker-85gn","Leigh Walker",[822,825,826,827,828],{"id":823,"name":60,"slug":824,"is_fiction":22},141,"paranormal",{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":22},{"id":52,"name":53,"slug":54,"is_fiction":22},{"id":132,"name":133,"slug":134,"is_fiction":22},{"id":343,"name":344,"slug":345,"is_fiction":22},[830],{"id":831,"slug":832,"name":833,"position":188,"is_main_entry":22,"parent_id":14,"parent_slug":14,"parent_name":14},"01kxejvy7sd5kkvtt77kdkgfj3","the-equinox-pact-yg2z","The Equinox Pact",{"pace":91,"complexity":14,"audience":142,"mood":835,"themes":836,"setting_period":14,"summary":837,"content_warnings":14},[95,425,192,96],[148,149],"Taylor Hale moves to the remote island of Dawnhaven after her mother's death and falls in with James Champlain, a wealthy summer resident who can read auras.

Instead she becomes fascinated by Edward Cullen, a strikingly beautiful and aloof classmate who seems to alternate between saving her life and warning her away from him.\n\nAs Bella pieces together the truth about Edward and his family, she realizes he is a vampire — one who has chosen to resist human blood, but whose very nature makes loving her dangerous. Their bond deepens into an intense, all-consuming romance, even as Bella learns that not every vampire shares the Cullens' restraint, and that being close to Edward may cost her everything.\n\nThe first book in Stephenie Meyer's blockbuster Twilight Saga, this is a moody, atmospheric teen romance about desire, danger, and the pull between what we want and what is safe. Told in Bella's earnest first-person voice, it launched a global phenomenon and defined a generation of paranormal romance.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz49bf0vzqzyc14gkdvamkn.jpg","LVMtN?f6_Nt7?bj[-pRj%gt7=|WB","3.60",18,498,[853],{"id":854,"slug":855,"name":856},"01kjq6xfxt84s0z7pvwvj5jd4g","stephenie-meyer-xeho","Stephenie Meyer",[858,861,862,863,867,868,869,870,874,878],{"id":850,"name":859,"slug":860,"is_fiction":22},"Graphic Novels","graphic-novels",{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":22},{"id":343,"name":344,"slug":345,"is_fiction":22},{"id":864,"name":865,"slug":866,"is_fiction":22},61,"YA","ya",{"id":132,"name":133,"slug":134,"is_fiction":22},{"id":40,"name":41,"slug":42,"is_fiction":22},{"id":52,"name":53,"slug":54,"is_fiction":22},{"id":871,"name":872,"slug":873,"is_fiction":22},33,"Contemporary Romance","contemporary-romance",{"id":875,"name":876,"slug":877,"is_fiction":22},216,"Vampire","vampire",{"id":724,"name":725,"slug":726,"is_fiction":22},[880],{"id":881,"slug":882,"name":883,"position":188,"is_main_entry":22,"parent_id":14,"parent_slug":14,"parent_name":14},"01kjstjx0xgn83amye43a8smy4","the-twilight-saga-q4lm","The Twilight Saga",{"pace":141,"complexity":14,"audience":142,"mood":885,"themes":886,"setting_period":14,"summary":14,"content_warnings":14},[95,425,97],[148],{"id":888,"slug":889,"title":890,"description":891,"primary_cover_url":892,"cover_blurhash":893,"first_publish_year":204,"community_rating_avg":894,"community_rating_count":895,"page_count":896,"authors":897,"genres":902,"series":912,"enrichment":921},"01kjraz3k6a5cn5f1x6vhwarmv","city-of-bones-zvhi","City of Bones","When Clary Fray discovers a hidden world of demon hunters, her ordinary life is turned upside down.

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Queen of the Underworld is the prequel to Felicity Heaton's Guardians of Hades series. Having read Ares and Valen the first two books in the series, I was curious to see where it all began, hence my decision to read Queen of the Underworld.\n\nIt pains me to have to write this review, especially since the author is a favourite of mine - and I’ve enjoyed all her books that I’ve read so far. Unfortunately, Queen of the Underworld did not fall into my favourite category. I had high hopes for Hades and Persephone’s story, but it failed to deliver as per my expectations.\n\nThe story started out with Hades dreaming of finding love like his brothers Zeus and Poseidon.  He teleported to Olympus where he landed in a special garden. In this garden he saw the beautiful Persephone and he knew he wanted her for his queen. He approaches Zeus seeking permission to take her as his queen. When Zeus granted him his wish he kidnaps her and takes her back to his kingdom, the Underworld. The events which unfolded from this action led to many angsty moments between the Hades and Persephone.\n\nQueen of the Underworld did not come close to what I’ve come to expect from this author. This was longest and painfully boring story I’ve read in the longest time. It took me eight excruciating days to get through this one. It would seem I’m a sucker for punishment. \n\nFor the majority of the story readers are subjected to Hades and Persephone’s insecurities, uncertainties, indecisiveness and constant woe is me internal monologue. One minute Persephone is thinking of ravishing Hades then the next she wants nothing to do with him. Hades also runs hot and cold for most of the story. At one point he is calm and then the darkness takes over and he becomes a raging monster. Now I have no problem with their insecurities, especially after learning the reasons behind them - but when the majority of the story focuses on it with nothing much else happening besides the characters’ never ending internal monologue, then that’s where I would have issues.\n\nAn event with one of Hades warriors had the potential to change the trajectory of the story and bring some colour into what was becoming a lack luster story. Alas, not much happened and that aspect of the story was short-lived. It wasn’t until the last couple of chapters that the story took a turn, culminating in a magical ending that would have been worthy of a great love story.\n\nI loved the world the author created in this series and I enjoyed seeing how it all started. It was interesting seeing the Underworld and Olympus through the author’s eyes.\n\nDespite my disappointment with this installment, Heaton remains on my favourite author’s list. This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading","none","rv-01kxps370ghwsn4hf6yt3853ca",[],"2026-07-17T00:54:47.000000Z"]
