Wow what a CrAzY ride this one was!! I was reeled in right from that very first page and held captive within its pages until that last one stated 'The End.' I inhaled this in one sitting!!

"I have to remind myself that he's only human.
A man.
He is no more Hades, God of the Underwold, than I am Persephone, daughter of Demeter.
He's just a man.
Human."
I enjoyed this ride so much!!! This story was sooo good!!!
I'm ashamed for that, but this was my first book by Natasha Knight, even though i have set my eyes on many books of hers...

Natasha Knight books are like crack for me. I devour them in one sitting and can never get enough. Her stories are sexy and addictive, and Descent was no exception. It was deliciously sinful, gritty, and with a dark undercurrent that I was immediately hooked on.
Persephone Abbot belongs to me. She always has. And now, she belongs in my bed, too. And I’ll make sure she stays there no matter what I have to do.

He was my savior once.
Twice.
Now he’s become my tormentor.
And I don’t
Dark, dirty and delicious is what comes to mind when I think of Descent. This book consumed my mind, my heart and lets be real... my fantasies. Once I started reading this, it was impossible for me to stop. I devoured it.
Persephone Abbot life is about to be turned upside down. It slowly started going downhill from the time she was fifteen when a tragic incident occurred and an enemy was created within Hayden Montgomery. He holds Percy's father accountable and will do anything and everything in ...more

GAH!! What can I say about a Natasha Knight story that I haven't already said before? Her writing is dark and edgy and always provocative. She consistently writes delicious mafia stories that stay and resonate with you. Her characters are always real and raw and her stories gripping. Descent was another magnificent story Knight can proudly add to her dark mafia offerings as Hayden "Hades" Montgomery and Persephone "Percy" Abbot were nothing short of outstanding. This story was sexy, shocking and

This one is a mash up of second chance, mafia, and arrangement for sex. Throw in a little mythology and some flawed characters and readers are sure to find something to draw them in.
As always, Natasha has delivered a well written, nicely paced and interesting book. The woman has talent in spades. Anytime I pick up one of her books, I know I'm in for a ride.

Absolutely head over heels in love with this book. Wow. Each book Natasha writes gets better and better. I loved the angst between Hayden and Persephone. The push and pull and how they gave as hard as they got...MAN. AND THE SEX. The sex scenes were so hot.
Hades (Hayden) was just MAGNIFICENT. He was perfection wrapped up in a bow. And Percy (Persephone) was fierce and not a scared little mouse like you see in some books. She was made just for him I swear. There were so many twists and turns. I ...more

Absolutely could not put this book down! This book was full of angst-yet burning hot with so much chemistry between the two characters my kindle practically combusted. There was a lot going on-the dynamic was so elaborate and addicting, it’s easy to see why This authors books are unputdownable.

Natasha was a new to me author and lord what did I discover! This book was everything and it was really hard to put it down.
The relationship between Hayden and Persephone was amazing and the retelling was perfect. These two made me feel so much it was unbelievable. I was not ready for their story to end. The relationship was very well developed and the fact that it was a dual point of view gave it so much more dimension.

Natasha Knight has become one of my favourite authors of all times. Her writing and characters are so addictive that I can’t pass on any story that she’s writing.
Nothing less than spectacular about this new mafia stand-alone love story. It’s a mythical love as Hayden and Persephone old mythology story.

PHENOMENAL! Holy twists and turns Batman! Another epic, suspenseful story crafted and woven so brilliantly by this fantastic Author. No one does dark and suspenseful like Natasha Knight! I absolutely loved this story and the possessive alpha! Looking forward to the next brilliant work Ms. Knight crafts for her readers.
A very intense ride of mixed emotions, unexpected twists and turns, all told with a dark hand. I liked the main characters, Persephone was a strong women, Hayden a charismatic man, and very dominant and when they got together the pages were smoking.
A terrific story, extremely entertaining.

5 DARK LOVE STARS!! Wow.....my dark heart is happy with this story and all the dark love for these two. Hayden and Persephone story is dark, beautiful and full of the feels. They will take you on one heck of a ride....so sit back and enjoy. Natasha Knight words are so delicious you will eat them down in one sitting, so make sure you have a couple hours for this book.
I love reading a Natasha Knight book. I know I will get a suspenseful, page-turning and somewhat dark read. This is no different and I was pulled in by the mystery and by the darkness and secrets that veiled all of the characters.
There are secrets, lies and cover ups that surround one tragic incident from everyone’s past.
This was a fast read that I eagerly read in one sitting.

This is my first read by this author, and I was shocked by how easily it was to fall face first into this story. Descent was a roller coaster of epic proportions. There was so many twists and turns that I did not see coming. Natasha Knight wrote Descent with so much depth and suspense, that I felt myself falling into the abyss. The mysteriousness and the development was the key that kept me glued to my kindle. Although, I had no clue how the plot was to be played out, I was a little

This story is set in the Benedetti Mafia World, Descent is a standalone Enemies-to-Lovers Romance. There is nothing too taboo in this book according to me. Persephone (Percy) is struggling to stay afloat after her beloved father’s tragic accident and she is trying to hold together the pieces of his crumbling empire. Hayden (Hades) is a boy next door, whom she knew when she was in her teens.
