Drag Me Up is the sort of book that sucks you in right from the start and before you know it, it's been like 3 hours and you are nearing the end.

I had my eyes on Drag Me Up because it's a Hades & Persephone modern-day reimagining with a Black Hades and Black and trans Persephone, but it took Purabi urging me to read it with her incessant texts to finally pick it up and basically devour it. The number one lesson I learned after reading this book is that I should listen to Purabi more often when she tells me to pick up a book. Athena and Dionysus? THEY BETTER GET A STORY TOO! I'm obsessed with this world and characters completely. I am already in love with every single secondary character. I'm very excited about what's to come in this new series. ♡ Everyone sees they make you happy trope!! Literally, everyone ships them LOVE IT There is no third-act breakup and the communication between them is *chef kiss* They also have such a healthy relationship, I felt so good whenever I was reading this book. They truly are the king and queen of the Underworld, damn. The steamy scenes are sexy, hot, and incredible. When they're touching for a single moment. He can't help but be so happy whenever he's with her. They immediately feel the attraction for each other and the rest, as they say, is history. She's there because she's an aerial silk performer in this new show at Hades's casino, so their meeting was bound to happen. Does he exist? Is he like the legends tell? Persephone is about to find out when she walks through his casino doors. Hades is the myth everyone keeps whispering about. A roller coaster of emotions! RM Virtues wrote a magnificent Hades x Persephone romance and I truly hope everyone picks it up. But when Zeus ups the stakes, they must be willing to go all in, even if it means coming down from the sky. He gives her a soft place to land, and she makes him want to reach for the stars. Hades isn’t prepared for her either, but it’s soon evident they’re a force when together. Meeting a man she’d been convinced didn’t exist? She could never be prepared for that. Landing a residency at the legendary Casino Asphodel is everything she trained for. Though it’s easier to ignore the bars when she still has room to fly. Now she’s lead in Calliope’s Cirque production but not without great cost, and there is not enough money in the world to pay off the debt accrued for the simple mistake of trusting Zeus. The mere mention of the Wraith of Khaos Falls is enough to keep order, and he is rarely forced to leave the shadows of Casino Asphodel.Īnd Persephone clawed her way out of Demeter’s shadow to reach it. He may do all the work, and Zeus may get all the credit, but at least it allows Hades to preserve the one thing he truly cares to have: his solitude.
