Book description
Imagine crossing the River Styx not in a boat, but in a sleek, neon-lit subway tunnel beneath a glittering, modern Olympus. That's the electrifying world Katee Robert pulls you into with Neon Gods-and the audiobook? It's pure, addictive immersion. You don't just read Persephone's desperate flight from an unwanted engagement to Zeus; you feel her heartbeat racing as she steps into the forbidden undercity, where Hades isn't a myth but a man whose voice in the audio makes every whispered threat and promise vibrate in your bones.
The narration is perfect for this story-sultry, intense, and dripping with tension. You'll get those promised "shivers" (as Mimi Koehler put it) during their first tense encounters, the way Hades' low, controlled voice contrasts with Persephone's rising panic. Publishers Weekly nailed it: it's "deliciously inventive" and "red-hot," and the audiobook amplifies every smoldering glance and breathless moment. You hear the city's pulse-the hum of the undercity, the clink of glasses in a hidden bar-and feel Persephone's world shift as Hades reveals the dark, glittering truth beneath Olympus's polished surface.
What makes this more than just a steamy retelling is how the audiobook makes the ancient myth feel urgently, thrillingly modern. Hades isn't just a god-he's a man with scars and a hunger, and his voice (so well-voiced!) makes you ache for the slow-burn revenge and the dangerous, sweet pull between them. You'll laugh at Persephone's sharp wit, gasp at the political scheming, and sigh right along with those "breathless nights" they share. It's the kind of story that makes you hit "play" for one more chapter-and then another-lost in the world Katee Robert built. By the time you reach the cliffhanger, you're already desperate for the next book in the Dark Olympus series. This isn't just a good listen; it's the kind of audiobook that makes you press pause just to savor the silence after a perfect line. Trust me: you'll need to hear it to feel it.
