About this listen

A dark lesbian romance retelling of the Hades/Persephone abduction story, set in mythological ancient Greece.

In the land of the dead, Queen Hades’ word is law. Hades gets what she wants—always—and what she wants is a certain goddess of the springtime.

Innocent Persephone chafes beneath her mother’s hawkish gaze and mercurial temper. Demeter has rebuffed all her daughter’s suitors, but she is not yet satisfied. She strives to crush Persephone’s spirit.

Still, when Hades pulls her into the dark realm of the underworld, Persephone longs for the world above, even if it means an eternity under her mother’s thumb.

With her tears and pleas for freedom ignored by pitiless Hades, Persephone must learn to satisfy her keeper in all ways, lest she suffer the consequences.

And though she cannot deny that something blooms within her, something forbidden, Persephone despairs of ever feeling the sun upon her skin once more.

No matter the cost, Hades intends to keep her.

Forever.

I enjoyed 'Captive of the Underworld'. I expected the darkness and if it had been 'real life' I would of been horrified but this is fiction. There was a bit in the middle that seemed to go around in circles hence 4 stars for 'overall' ! The names of various items of clothing took some getting used to. I felt the narrator did a good job. We need to 'scrat around' for good F/F paranormal audiobooks and this is worth the credit providing you understand the content warning !

I Enjoyed It !
