Promises and Pomegranates (Monsters & Muses, #1)
ByPublisher Description
Elena
To most, Kal Anderson is a villain.
Harbinger of death, keeper of souls, frequenter of nightmares.
Doctor Death. Hades incarnate.
They say he stole me.
Usurped my fiancé and filled the cracks in my heart with empty promises.
Imprinted his crimson fingerprints on my psyche and tried to set me free.
They’re not wrong, per se.
Except it was my choice to stay.
Kal
To most, Elena Ricci is an innocent.
Goddess of springtime, lover of poetry, angel of my nightmares.
Little one. Persephone personified.
They say I ruined her.
Shattered her virtue and devoured her soul like a succulent pomegranate.
Embedded my evil as deep as I could possibly get and tried to set her free.
They’re not wrong, per se.
Except it was she who ruined me.
*Promises and Pomegranates is a full-length, standalone, dark contemporary romance inspired by the Hades and Persephone myth. It is NOT fantasy or a literal retelling. If you’re not a reader of the genre, this book may not be suitable for you. Reader discretion is advised.

“11/12/25 - i started this book about two years ago, and for whatever reason it didn’t really hit. it definitely did this time around. i really enjoyed it, read it within 24hrs, and i can’t wait to continue the series!
i folded for kal almost immediately, but i do wish there was more depth consistently shown throughout the story between him and elena. i loved their relationship (i love hades x persephone!) and i wanted to see more depth beyond the lust between them. it was there, but i wanted to see it more and watch it grow more: the story felt a bit stale at moments, and i feel like it’s because it was lacking this!
i also definitely would’ve liked to see the downfall of her family’s empire. especially her mother behind bars for being a pedophile, because that was never addressed to the degree it should’ve been. that woman was human garbage. would NOT have been mad if kal gave her a more ✨permanent✨ punishment, if you know what i mean.”
