You’ve probably read it but Wintersong by S Jae-Jones or the Goddess Test by Amiee Carter
@Bramanda omg i never knew wintersong is a retelling. Really?! ?
@Bramanda Definitely The Goddess Test! I loved that series.
Wintersong is a not a H/P retelling, its more of a Labyrinth based, when asked if it was inspired by it, author replied: “However, I suppose the biggest difference is the fact that my characters are not Jim Henson’s characters” It’s good either way!
I thought it still had the same feel. I think it’s a little H/P, Labyrinth, and Beauty and the Beast all mixed together
There’s a FANTASTIC Webtoons comic called Lore Olympus.
yaaaaas
@Shelley LOVE LORE OLYMPUS

Oooooh Laura Thalassa’s series “The Unearlthy” is 100% what you are looking for. I don’t want to spoil it but check it out, I promise you’ll love it! I did! And if you like that you should read her Bargainer series after, that’s my favorite!!
@Heidi yes absolutely

I found this free ebook once called “springtime for hades.” Its obviously someones first self-publish, so theres quite a bit to be desired. But I still read it from time to time because I think the idea is cute.
ACOTAR/ACOMAF is inspired by Hades and Persephoné
Read it. Absolutely loved it.

I wrote a book about Greek gods for my nephew. It isn’t published. Sorry. It was just for him, but your question reminded me of his favorite scene. Our hero (Kevin) is in the Underworld, and he is trying to escape. Persephone begs him to take her with him. So he has her by the arm and is dragging her behind him as he runs down one corridor after another. Finally he makes a wish that Ares (who has been helping him) was there to assist. Ares appears instantly. He’s angry at being called because he is now also stuck there. Kevin explains that Persephone wants to leave, but she’s trapped. He can’t take her and also the dagger he has come for. Ares leans to the side, takes a look around Kevin and says, “That’s not Persephone.” When Kevin looks, he has a monster by the arm. My nephew laughed and laughed.
That’s so funny and cool!! Love it
@Gabrielle All day after reading it my nephew (10 at the time) kept pretending to be Ares. He’d lean to the side as if looking around Kevin and say, “That’s not Persephone.” LOL
HAHAHAHA

The only one I know is not YA and it is ‘Persephone’ by Kitty Thomas; I only recommend it if you like erotic fiction
Mmmm I’m super young so maybe not yet ?. Thanks though!
Read the Gods and Monsters series by @Mila. It isnt just about Hades and Persephone but they both appear in the books. Persephone less so than Hades, but they are great reads. She has 3 books out with the 4th coming out in April.

So if you have wattpad look up lexi’s promise (there are three books to the series I think this is the first one)
Sorry I was wrong – here’s the link, lexi’s undoing is the first!
