About this listen
THE GODS LOVE TO PLAY WITH US MERE MORTALS. AND EVERY HUNDRED YEARS, WE LET THEM …
I have never been favored by the gods. Far from it, thanks to Zeus.
Living as a cursed office clerk for the Order of Thieves, I just keep my head down and hope the capricious beings who rule from Olympus won’t notice me. Not an easy feat, given San Francisco is Zeus’ patron city, but I make do. I survive. Until the night I tangle with a different god.
The worst god. Hades.
For the first time ever, the ruthless, mercurial King of the Underworld has entered the Crucible—the deadly contest the gods hold to determine a new ruler to sit on the throne of Olympus. But instead of fighting their own battles, the gods name mortals to compete in their stead.
So why in the Underworld did Hades choose me—a sarcastic nobody with a curse on her shoulders—as his champion? And why does my heart trip every time he says I’m his?
I don’t know if I’m a pawn, bait, or something else entirely to this dangerously tempting god. How can I, when he has more secrets than stars in the sky?
Because Hades is playing by his own rules … and Death will win at any cost.

TikTok hype was worth it
Bit of a slow burn with an expected end romance wise. The res together story has some good twists and turns. Would have liked to have had a little more character development for the side characters but overall a good story.

Good concept but failed on execution
I really wanted to enjoy this but the narrator was very flat and oftentimes lacked depth and emotions. The FMC came across as very immature and Hades not as intoxicating as he should have been.
The story itself was an interesting take on Greek gods and mythology but the writing felt too simplified for the world being created.
