So, what are readers

"Just,
WOW!! I tore through Scarlett’s first two books in a week. No small feat as a
full time grad student with a full-time job. Her books have actually
reminded me that reading can be fun. A Game of Fate is an astounding
look into the psyche of Hades and his love affair with the very Goddess
of Spring. Scarlett St. Clair is brilliant and I’m exceedingly glad
that I plowed through homework all day to reward myself with this gem!
Madame author, PLEASE hurry with the next one!!" - Amanda, Amazon
☆☆☆☆☆
"I
don’t know if the author herself made a deal with the devil or Hades
himself because just like the rest of her books, you’re hooked after the
1st chapter. She has a way to captivate you and make you feel every
emotion the protagonist is feeling. I felt like I was actually there
listening to every conversation. It’s not only a love story, but a
redemption one as well. You won’t regret buying this book and again, like
her others ones you’ll find yourself rereading it." - Stefany Vazquez, Amazon

"Oh
my god, I read this book in 2 days and I WANT MORE. I've always been in
love with the story of Persephone and Hades, and these series are
EVERYTHING. It's absolutely uh-MAZING!!" - Alondra, Amazon

"Scarlett does it again 🙌🏻🙌🏻
4.5 ⭐️
This
book was amazing! If you read and loved A Touch of Darkness, you are in
for a treat! You will leave this book with a whole new understanding of
Hades and some of the situations in ATOD. I love him even more now.
I
don’t always enjoy reading books that are just differing perspectives
of the same book, but Scarlett made this book into something unique. We
still get our favorite scenes with Hades and Persephone, but there is
also a completely new story for this perspective.
The writing in
the book was phenomenal. Scarlett really brings this world to life! We
get to see things that were going on behind the scenes and get to love
our favorite side characters even more.
Overall, a fantastic read. I highly recommend this series!" - Rosegold_Bibliophile, Amazon
Intriguing! How about a look inside?
Here's an excerpt.
A smell brought him out of his thoughts and gave
him pause. It was familiar—wildflowers, both bitter and sweet.
Demeter, he thought.
The Goddess of Harvest’s name was sour on his
tongue. Demeter had few passions in life, but one of them was her hatred for
the God of the Dead.
He inhaled again, taking the scent deeper.
Something about it was off. Mingled with the familiar aroma was the sweetness
of vanilla and a mild, herbal note of lavender. A mortal, perhaps? Someone with
the goddess’s favor?
The scent drew him out of the darkness in which he
had lingered to the edge of the balcony, where he scanned the crowd and found
her immediately.
The woman who smelled like vanilla, lavender, and
his enemy sat poised on the edge of one of his sofas in a pink dress that left
little to the imagination. He liked the way her hair curled, falling in
luminous waves down her back. His fingers itched to touch it, to pull it until
her head tipped back and she looked him in the eyes.
Look at me, he commanded, desperate to see
her face.
She seemed to look everywhere before her gaze
halted on him. His hand tightened around his glass, the other gripped the
balcony rail.
She was beautiful—lush lips, high cheekbones, and
eyes as green as new spring. Her expression was startled at first, eyes
widening slightly, transforming into something fierce and passionate as her
gaze swept his face and form.
She is yours, a voice echoed in his
head, and something inside him snapped. Claim her.
The command was feral. He had to grind his teeth
to keep from obeying, and he thought he might shatter the glass in his hand
from clutching it too tight. The impulse to whisk her away to the Underworld was
strong, like a spell. He had never thought himself so weak, but his restraint
was a thin, frayed thread.
How could he want this woman so badly? What was
this unnatural pull? He stared at her harder, searching for a reason, and
became aware that he was not the only one feeling the effects of their
connection. She fidgeted beneath his gaze, her chest rising and falling as her
breath hitched, her skin turning a pretty pink, and he had the thought that he
would like to follow that flush with his lips.
He would give anything to know what she was
thinking.
Wow, intense! Your book sounds so compelling!
