Half human, half vampire, she lived eternally torn between two worlds, never fully experiencing the pleasures of either―until her father chose her as the pawn in his latest political move, gifting her to the darkly powerful and dangerously seductive Malachi Zion. Malachi is not a vampire to be trifled with. He rules with an iron fist and has a reputation for the darkest of sins. But the longer Mina spends with him, the more she realizes he's not the monster she first thought―and as fear bleeds into lust, then trust, then something more, Malachi opens Mina up to a world she never knew could be hers for the taking: including the love of Malachi's two closest friends and companions. Now surrounded by all three men, the center of their shockingly seductive world, Mina may finally have the power to face down her father and take back the life―and crown―that by all rights should be hers.

In this episode of the Spread Those Pages Podcast, Meg LaTorre and Courtney (Lyra Parish) dive into A TOUCH OF DARKNESS by Scarlet St. Clair (book one in the Hades X Persephone series). ***CONTENT WARNING: 18+ YEARS OF AGE*** --- ➡️ PODCAST LINKS   https://spreadthosepages.com/links/   🔵 CONNECT WITH MEG LaTORRE   https://iwriterly.com/links/   🔴 CONNECT WITH COURTNEY/LYRA PARISH   https://lyraparish.com/ ---   📚 ABOUT A TOUCH OF DARKNESS📚    From bestselling author, Scarlett St. Clair, comes a dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth.   "Let me worship you," he said.   She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. "You will worship me, and I won't even have to order you." His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it. She answered, "Yes."   Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger.   Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can't resist.   After her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows―a love that is both captivating and forbidden.
