Thank you to Netgalley the Publisher, of Rose and Star Publishing, LLC, and the authors Alexis Rune, and Jeanette Rose for providing and allowing me to review this book. Which, I'm giving my honest and sincere review.

I was irresistibly drawn to "The Maiden & The Unseen," the Love and Fate series, primarily due to my fascination with Hades and Persephone retellings. This book, penned by the dynamic duo Jeanette Rose & Alexis Rune, promised a fresh take on the timeless myth, and it certainly did not disappoint.
From the very first page, I was enraptured by the lush prose and vivid imagery that Rose and Rune expertly weave throughout the narrative. Their storytelling prowess effortlessly transports readers into a world where ancient gods walk among mortals, and fate hangs in the balance.

One of the aspects that intrigued me most about this book was its promise of spice, and in that regard, it exceeded all expectations. The story is brimming with forbidden romances, divine interventions, and unexpected twists that kept me utterly enthralled from start to finish.

But beyond its captivating plot, "The Maiden & The Unseen" shines in its exploration of profound themes such as love, fate, and sacrifice. As Hades and Persephone navigate the complexities of their relationship amidst the chaos of the mortal world, their journey is as tumultuous as it is tender, leaving a lasting impact on the reader.

What truly sets this book apart, however, is its seamless integration of mythology with modern-day elements. Whether it's Hades embracing his role as the "glorified babysitter" or Persephone navigating the intricacies of social media, the story feels both timeless and relevant.

In conclusion, "The Maiden & The Unseen" is a masterfully crafted tale that will captivate fans of Hades and Persephone retellings alike. With its enchanting prose, compelling characters, and steamy romance, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking an unforgettable literary experience. I eagerly await the next installment in the Love and Fate series, eager to embark on another spellbinding journey with these captivating characters.

I was quite excited to recieve the arc of this book since it‘s a retelling of hades and persephone. The book isn‘t bad but somehow I feel like it needed more actual plot. This one reads more like a porn and don‘t get me wrong it‘s good smut BUT it feels like the book is almost only that. I expected more actual plot but it seems like there might be a sequel coming and maybe that will be more plot driven.
