About this eBook

I was born a few moments after midnight on January 1st. On my 21st birthday, my father throws me the most lavish New Year's Eve birthday party Baton Rouge has ever seen—then he tells me I'm a woman now, and that means I belong to a man he owes a blood debt.

No, not a man. A demon who feeds on my family’s pain and suffering. Especially mine.

His name is Hades Fairgood. But he is neither good nor fair. 

He's the twisted ruler of a biker underworld, and everything my dead mother warned me to avoid. Dirty rich, stupid hot, and merciless. There's not even a smidge of human left in his bitter, vengeful heart. I find that out the particularly cruel way when he renames me Persy--short for Persephone and has PROPERTY OF HADES tattooed across my back.

So that I never forget...

I'm his possession now.  He owns me, mind, body, and soul. 

He’s a needlessly beautiful monster who I must escape. Of course, I must. 

It’s just…

The longer I’m with him, the more confusing it becomes. Is he a merciless monster or a wounded man in need of love? My love?

It doesn’t matter. It shouldn’t matter either way. I just hope I can escape his wrath before he ruins me.

Ratings and reviews

Enjoyed the start series. The Hades books are written completely different & much harder to follow. Struggled to enjoy it as much, through its many complex characters intertwined and abit all-over the place timelines.

I was given a free ARC to give a honest review. This love crazy MC Series by Theodora Taylor just keeps getting better & better. I love how characters from previous books show up or are at least mentioned. This author makes you think, get mad, get thoughtful & yes LUST for the loving the male characters put down. Hades is a hot bossy sexy mess. I truly want him & Stephanie aka Persy to make it work. She had secrets but their are reasons. Hades is used to having it all his way. Well he will have to learn it is about more then winning. This is the first half of their story. I can't wait for Persys chance to let us know her perspective. If you haven't read the others in this series please do. Grab a copy today. 😍🎉

I liked the initial start of the book but felt like the constant time skips kinda distrupted the flow of the book. was there nothing worthy of writing for the " 3 years later" gap, and stuff would happenwbithout any real context or full explanation And then the very random ending/ cliff hanger . I really liked the whole idea of it but felt like it was just the bones of a book not the meaty story
