Hades and his Witch: A modern, gay Hades/Persephone romance (Demon Gods Book 2) by Rhys Lawless
Description
I’m dying, and the only one who can save me is him.
Hades, king of the Underworld, god of the dead, ruler of… Honestly? He’s got too many names to list.
You know the guy.
Apparently, I need him to survive this disease that’s been a death sentence since I was born.
Apparently, I’m also the reincarnation of his queen, Persephone. How’s that for a kicker?
Little, hideous me, who uses tattoos to cover his endless flaws and whose only power is seeing death at every corner.
And apparently, we have to do the deed to save me from certain demise.
Yeah. If I wasn’t so unequivocally…me, I’d think it was a very elaborate scheme to get me into bed.
But even that goes wrong.
So. Terribly. Wrong.
And now everything is effed up.
Figures. Only I could break the god of the freaking dead.
Hades and his Witch is the second book in the Demon Gods series, a spin-off series set in the Cursed Hearts universe.
Inside you’ll find a magical tattoo artist in need of saving, a god of death who’s a hopeless romantic, ghostly “interactions”, and a snarky mobile phone (among other things). Written in British English with US spelling and grammar.
This book can be read as a standalone.

My Review
Second book in this new series. But it’s not necessary to read them in order. It’s a retelling of Persephone and Hades (but an MM twist) I love tales of Hades and Persephone, so I was intrigued to see where this one would take me.
Reading the blurb had me wondering how the role of Persephone would work with a male in that role…..
Sandro is dying! All the doctors he’s seen don’t know what’s causing it! His last attempt is going to a witch that his friend recommends, and Sandro is desperate enough to try anything!
But the witch tells him that yes he’s dying, but not through a disease or an illness. No he dying because he’s not with his mate? But she can help him if he desires it!
Hades is reborn into a body that’s not his own! And he’s in the human world with the ghost of the firmer owner of said body! But all that disappears when he comes face to face with his lost love Persephone! But it’s a male body not female…..
This book had me in tears and stitches all the way through. With Hades ready to godmate his beloved and Sandro not sure!
We also have text messages from Tao to Hades (he attached the ghost of Tao to the cell phone) Tao is also not as helpful to hades as he’s like!
We also have someone who wants Sandro dead! So you can expect a twist and betrayal in this book too!
Whatever can go wrong goes wrong in this story. Hades and Sandro have a long uphill battle to remain together.
I really liked all the side characters, I didn’t feel that the author was just filling space.
So if you like Greek mythology retelling a then I highly recommend you grab this one. 👍🏻
