Shadows And Vines: A Hades + Persephone Reimagining (The Reign of Goddesses Book 1) Kindle Edition

by C.D. Britt (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (80)

Everything you know about the gods of Ancient Greece is a lie.
Zeus.
Hades.
Poseidon.
They do not exist as you’ve been told.

For centuries, Persephone, the true Ruler of the Underworld, has watched humanity destroy themselves and the world around them. Known for centuries as her alter ego, Hades, she has guarded the souls under her care, her only interaction outside of her realm as C.E.O. of the largest financial company in the world, Cerberus Financial. She is content with this, except a soul has called to her and her alone for thousands of years. One that she finds herself bound to in more ways than one.

Devon Aideonous was murdered, his killer unknown, his past as a mercenary haunting him in the afterlife. He is sent to the Underworld, but not as a soul meant to live out eternity there. He is something far more powerful, and the more he learns about his new power, the more secrets are uncovered from his past.

This is book one in the “Reign of Goddesses” series.

Warning: Adult Content and Triggering situations such as PTSD, Trauma, Thoughts of suicide, Filicide (not happening in present), and rape (not happening in present).

Review

"I love, love, love, the idea of the three Gods being GODDESSES. Seriously, why has no one thought of this before? I adore the concept and I adore C.D Britt's execution. She provides a fabulous (well, traumatic) backstory for them." - Goodreads Review


"I absolutely loved this new take on the Greek myths and think it is an amazing story. Run, don't walk, to get this book. I can't wait for the next one!" -@annies_book_nook


"A point of view that I found exhilarating and so diverse, not what I would have expected in a tale of well known Greek gods. A great plot and storyline with the ending leaving me fulfilled and eager for the next book" - Goodreads Review

About the Author

C.D. Britt began her writing journey when her husband told her she needed to use her excessive imagination to write stories as opposed to creating a daily narrative for him. Ever since she penned her first words, life has been a lot more peaceful for him.She currently resides in Texas where she has yet to adapt to the heat thanks to her strong Scottish Ancestry. Her husband thrives in it, so unfortunately they will not be relocating to colder climates anytime soon.Their two young children would honestly complain either way.When she is not in her writing cave (hiding from the sun), she enjoys ignoring the world as much as her children will allow with a good book, music, and vast amounts of coffee (until it's time for wine). C.D. Britt is the author of Shadows and Vines and the upcoming book, Sirens and Leviathans. Both books are part of the Reign of Goddesses series.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

C.D. Britt has been obsessed with mythology since elementary school. The obsession has only grown, so she started writing mythic fantasy with significantly happier endings than the original lore.

She currently resides in Texas, where she has yet to adapt to the heat. Her husband thrives in it, so unfortunately, they will not be relocating to colder climates anytime soon.

Their two young children would honestly complain either way. 

When she is not in her writing cave (hiding from the sun), she enjoys ignoring the world as much as her children will allow with a good book, music, and vast amounts of coffee (until it’s time for wine).

C.D. Britt is the author of the Reign of Goddesses, the Clan of Shadows, and the Blood of Saviors Series.

    I received this book some time ago from a friend and I was somewhat mystified when I went to the author's page to find out if she had any new stuff out, to find that I had not left a lengthy review. And now, probably a year later, as these characters still lurk about the edges of my mind providing commentary on my choices, I knew I had to come back to it and give you my take on this book and the idea in general.

    I used to read fantasy books all of the time. I loved it! But then I started to notice that they were, slowly but surely, all starting to sound the same. It was getting super hard to enjoy yet another rendition of a LOTR storyline. So I stopped reading it. I went somewhere else. Then I got hold of this book.

    I had never really considered the idea of adapting myth to the fantasy page, but it works. It REALLY works. C.D. Britt turns what you thought you knew about an old story onto its head and brings it into a contemporary setting. These characters live and breathe, not only on the page, but now inside my head as part of my personal peanut gallery. The story is well-written and feels like it could be something set in motion tomorrow. It is an interesting idea that is intriguingly relevant to today's culture.

    If you are not downloading this book, you are missing out. Few things are sure. And this book is a sure bet. Download now!

    This is a twist on greek mythology with a gender swap. Persephone and Devon are soulmates lost through time until the powers of the Underworld bring them back to each other. Devon is haunted by his past, but with Persephone's love, he finds redemption. Such a good book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Well done reimagining of two classic Greek gods
    Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2024

    I can't love and praise this book enough! I'm picky when it comes to Hades x Persephone retellings, especially where they remove certain aspects of who and what they are for the sake of plot device. This story did these ancient lovers justice while also showing how old gods in new forms love, support, and communicate with each other without feeling less than each other.

    I loved how old Myths were interwoven through the storyline, creating a new world that was so easy to fall into. The world building, immersion, and love story had me finishing this book within 24 hours. Onto the next sister, Amphitrite.

    4.0 out of 5 stars "We make each other whole... stronger."
    Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2022

    When people say classics, what do you think of? Most people would think of the books you read in your high school English classes. Well, those classics are not my cup of tea. Instead, I gravitate towards mythologies and Greek/Roman literature, things of that nature. Still classics, just in a different sense.

    "Shadows and Vines" is inspired by the second one. Take everything you know, and forget it. C.D. Britt took traditional mythology and made it entirely her own.

    Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon do not exist in this world but rather are the alter egos of Hera, Persephone, and Amphitrite, respectively.

    "The gods you read about-Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, the brothers who ruled the sky, sea, and the Underworld, were just our alter egos. Created to appease and help us work alongside humans."

    Instead of being male rulers, it's a world ruled by females.

    "The only powerful beings watching over you were Goddesses, which were my sisters and I. Kind of changes your perspective on the fairer sex, does it not?"

    "Shadows and Vines" focuses on Persephone. She's the outcast. Lonely in the Underworld. The other demigods don't like her.
    Then enters Devon. Persephone and Devon have this bond. Each reincarnation, at his death, she feels this pull to him and doesn't know why. But she's able to recognize him in each of his life.

    Fate throws them together. There are hidden secrets in Devon's past that he uncovers. Powers within him that he must learn to help with a future predetermined.

    I can't wait to read "Sirens and Leviathans", the second book in The Reign of Goddesses, coming May 10, 2022.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fun take on Greek Mythology
    Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2022
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This book was so different from other things I've read (and I read a lot).

    This is a gender bent, Greek mythology reimagining and I loved every page.

    I have read many Hades/Persephone retellings, and this one is close to the top of that list. In this telling Hades and Persephone are switched. Persephone is the god of the underworld who goes by the pseudonym Hades. She is drawn to a mortal soul for a long time. One day the fates send her to take care of a mortal who has passed that she needs to escort to the underworld. The mortal is the soul she has been drawn to, so she convinces him to eat some pomegranate seeds and become immortal and be tied to the underworld.

    This was a book that I devoured and couldn't wait to keep reading when I had to stop. I finished this book a few days ago and haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

    I loved this book! It's a unique spin on old mythology while also taking us into the future. It's a difficult battle between goddesses and titans. It's a beautiful tale of soulmates balancing each other out with the way they are different and yet have some of the same pain. Both need to heal, something they have to do for themselves with the knowledge they are loved by the other. This book kept me reading until the very end, thoroughly engrossed in their story. But the battle isn't over, there is still more to come, and more allies to find...and I can't wait to find out what's next in the story!
