Book Review: Holidays With Hades by Brenda Trim

 

Book Description

Popcorn strands, holly berries, and twinkly lights. Add a little magic and the holiday season will be perfect, right?

'Tis the season and I'm setting the stage. But even with all the trimmings, I know better than to think everything will run smoothly.

I've promised an invitation to Fate and it's never a good idea to keep such a powerful being waiting, but my festive frenzy keeps getting interrupted.

Removing curses and humoring carolers are the last things I should be doing when I've also just learned that I have to make room at the Yule Dinner table.

For whom? Oh, just Hades, God of the freaking Underworld and father of the man in my bed.

I didn't have time for the normal chaos in my life, but this is a new extreme. It's impossible to make a good impression when I barely remember my name.

My power is hours away from turning me into a vegetable, my house is a mess, and suddenly my ex-husband has some demands of his own.

Not today, Satan.

Nothing will ruin these holidays for me and my family.

My Review

Phoebe and Aidoneus are dating. She's human but a witch and he's the son of Hades. Makes for an interesting family get together especially when someone comes to Phoebe for help with a curse and the curse gets transferred to her. Now instead of getting her house ready for Hades visit, she can barely remember who she or her family is. 

With the help of Aidoneus and his father, Hades they get to the bottom of who is responsible for the curse and how to get rid of it but that revelation comes with some sad knowledge because there's nothing worse than getting stabbed in the back by someone you thought was a friend.

With all this going on the anxiety of having Hades visit was put on the back burner until he just shows up and they have to deal with him and his nasty attitude about his sons love interest. But while everyone else is scared of angering Hades, Phoebe isn't and let's him know it. Hades actually likes her attitude which is one reason he decides to help her, much to everyone's surprise. 

This was a fun book and I liked Phoebe and her family. 

I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.
