Drag Me Up
Drag Me Up: A Gods of Hunger Novel | R. M. Virtues
6 posts | 6 read | 11 to read
They say he's a myth...And Hades prefers it that way. 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. 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.She belongs in the spotlight... And Persephone clawed her way out of Demeter's shadow to reach it. 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. Though it's easier to ignore the bars when she still has room to fly. Landing a residency at the legendary Casino Asphodel is everything she trained for. Meeting a man she'd been convinced didn't exist? She could never be prepared for that. Hades isn't prepared for her either, but it's soon evident they're a force when together. He gives her a soft place to land, and she makes him want to reach for the stars. But when Zeus ups the stakes, they must be willing to go all in, even if it means coming down from the sky. Or stepping into the light.

Holy SMOKES. 1) That was so good! 2) Probably one of (if not THE) steamiest books I've ever read 🔥🔥 3) Pretty sure erotic Greek mythology retellings might be the gateway drug to Greek mythology in general because I can't get enough. (I'm not well versed on the topic, but growing increasingly more obsessed with Hades and curious about why Zeus is often portrayed as the entitled not-nice guy. I NEED MORE)

Shout-out to @Bookzombie for the rec! ❤️

Not gonna lie, I hate read the first 80 pages of this Persephone-Hades retelling, it was a little repetitive and didn‘t delve deep into anything, until, UNTIL, we got to the sex. Which was, holy moly, fire. Which the first bout was about 20 pages. It almost reads like a bad Tyler Perry movie but the sex, which makes up a good 1/3 of this book, and a Dionysius side story that got me in the feels, make this a pick. @Bookzombie thanks for this!

Bookzombie 😅 I was sweating when I started your review, lol. Whew, so glad it was a pick. I will be interested to see what you think of the other two books. 2y
KristiAhlers Can I just say I love you lol. I love that you hate read. That is going to be my new thing! 2y
Reggie @Bookzombie there are a lot of self published authors that I just think the eye of an editor would help. Someone who would say cut here and add here. Let‘s dig here. There was a lot of potential and there were some really lovely things in here. 2y

Reggie @KristiAhlers there‘s t hi s booktuber who had a video talking about how she came back from her bookclub and how only 5 out of the 14 people read the book she picked. And how she was irked because she reads their books. That‘s what you do when you sign up to play the game. And I try not to end group books. Cause you know, I signed up. And in this case it worked out. The hate reading. Lol ❤️ 2y
Meshell1313 What a review!! 2y
Bookzombie @Reggie Even though I really enjoyed book 1 and 2 (still working on 3), I completely agree about self-published authors. Sometimes even some really famous well-known authors could stand more of an edit. 2y

Reggie Hi Kristi. This book hasn‘t showed up yet. Do you have tracking on it by any chance? 2y
KristiAhlers @Reggie ugh I‘m at work but I will get that to you ASAP! 2y
Reggie No worries, whenever you can. 2y
KristiAhlers @Reggie OMG I‘m so sorry I forgot to mail it. I‘m putting it in the mail priority. Sorry y‘all. Between work and my dad once again being in the hospital for a cracked hip things have gotten away from me. I‘m so so sorry. I‘ll send you the tracking number tomorrow. 2y
Reggie No, no, no, no worries. Secretly I was hoping that had happened because I live across from a drug house that brings in a lot of unwanted traffic down our street and I‘m just waiting for the day they steal a package and realize it‘s a book. Lol but seriously no worries and that book would still be a month ahead. Take your time. 2y
KristiAhlers @Reggie oh I‘m so sorry and thank you for being so understanding. Ugh my life 🤣 I swear I wouldn‘t know what smooth sailing looked like right now if I tried. 2y

This is an erotic/contemporary romance retelling of Hades and Persephone and it was so good. I really loved both of the main characters, but especially Hades. 💗🔥I also loved the other characters and can‘t wait to read the next two books.
Earlier this year I read Neon Gods, also an H & S retelling and I enjoyed it, but if I had to choose I would pick this one. #LMPBC #GroupR

Bookzombie @sprainedbrain I don‘t know how, but I failed to take a physical picture of this book at any point. Lol. I mailed it out yesterday and I have a tracking number if you would like it. I hope you all enjoy this one too. @Reggie @KristiAhlers 2y
sprainedbrain Oh I can‘t wait! I‘m glad to hear it‘s better than Neon Gods! 😉 2y
Reggie Yayyy, I have a feeling this is gonna be a good round with all the books being good. Excited for this. 2y

sprainedbrain Margie, it arrived today! 🎉 2y
Bookzombie @sprainedbrain Damn, that was fast! I didn‘t get to the post office until almost 5 on Wednesday. I hope you like it! I went back and read your Neon Gods review. 🙂 2y
Bookzombie @Reggie Me too!! 2y
KristiAhlers I can‘t wait to read this one!!! 2y
sprainedbrain If this one at least makes them gods it‘s gonna be a million times better for me. 😅 2y
sprainedbrain I just finished and I loved it! So much better than Neon Gods. I definitely need to continue this series… maybe we should all just be in a perpetual romance round while we work through these seres? 😂 @Bookzombie @KristiAhlers @Reggie 2y
Bookzombie @sprainedbrain Yay! I‘m going to order the other two so if you all want me to send them along I can. Either with our other books or on a delay. Lol. @KristiAhlers @Reggie 2y
KristiAhlers Wow I can‘t wait to read this one! Neon Gods disappointment me. 2y
KristiAhlers @sprainedbrain I‘m totally in on that idea. 2y
Reggie I‘m game. @KristiAhlers was nice enough to send the first 2 books in her series. However you wanna send it, Margie. 2y
