This is a pretty popular Hades and Persephone retelling, so I decided to give it a try. It sadly falls into the trap of many of the retellings I’ve read that feature these characters - the characters end up feeling a little flat. The Persephone character had the spunk and fire that I like seeing, but she almost seemed to purposely misunderstand things to add to the miscommunication plot line. The Hades here wasn’t my favorite since he was more of a bad boy and that’s not how I personally like my Hades. And the side characters, even some of the other gods, were one note. The beautiful evil ”mean girl” we're supposed to hate because her only role in the book is to steal the hero from the heroine Overall, A Touch of Darkness was just not it. Not worth it & definitely not continuing with the series. Ok, no, seriously. Let’s elaborate on the plainness of these characters. The personality distribution between Lexa and Persephone was absolutely jarring.
Gildis based on a Greek mythological figure and focuses on a girl named Auren who is saved from the desolate streets by King Midas who promises her infinite love, riches and safety. Hotfix (2009-08-27): The following bug fixes to Val'kyr Twins were just deployed, and they will increase the overall difficulty of the encounter. When Eydis Darkbane casts Dark Vortex, most of the raid will be immune to its damage since attuned to Dark Essence. When Fjola Lightbane casts Twin's Pact, you will have no trouble breaking the Shield of Lights since all your DPS is attuned to Dark Essence.Welcome once more to my favorite and most hated section: BIG HYPE, BIG LIE. In this episode, we will discuss the book "A Touch of Darkness" and how disappointing it was. Please, take a
I was excited to read "A Touch of Darkness" based on the synopsis I was given. A modern retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth? Great! Harper finds herself transferred via portal into a magical realm from the streets of Washington DC, held as a prisoner in Prince Rhen’s castle.

There’s like minimal world building and the use of Greek mythology is pretty weak. The only thing that seems to separate the so-called divines from the humans are their horns. The gods were just too human like for me, they also had some “powers” which were barely shown at all but whatever.
Not to mention that, if Persephone is college-aged and Hades is millennia old, the age difference is far beyond anything even Twilight could throw at us. This is something that Scarlett St. Clair can't be blamed for, but bears mentioning: the narrator of this audiobook has three major flaws, as far as I'm concerned. A) Her male voices all sound the same: gravelly and molasses-slow. Hades sounds like Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith. B) She over-enunciates almost everything. C) She gets into the sex scenes. Like. REALLY gets into the sex scenes. I think my favourite thing is though that a lot of the side characters are important to the story and have an actual personality that made me love the relationship Persephone had with each of them. Doorway Strategy: Have the entire raid positioned in the entrance, with 2-3 soakers (typically hunters) in a semi-circle beyond them. Significantly fewer orbs spawn from the wall here due to the gap where the door is.Hades’ behavior will make Persephone question everything she knows about him and their relationship. Although their spark still glimmers in the distance, is it strong enough to save them? A Touch of Malice (2021) Nu o spun cu răutate (mint), dar Hades trebuie să aibă lângă el o persoană înțelegătoare, deșteaptă, empatică și minunată care să-i înțeleagă punctul de vedere și să-i țină partea atunci când alți zei, buni sau răi, îl sfidează. Înțeleg că Zeul Morții este îndrăgostit și e cam orbit de acest sentiment frumos (și probabil că Persefona are the good stuff), dar săracul trebuie să-și tragă două palme zdravene și să se spele pe ochi cu clor ca să vadă BS-urile iubitei lui despre care o să vorbesc imediat :)
