Synopsis:

God of the Dead. King of the Underworld. The Unseen. The Renowned. A King without his Queen. They were at odds for what felt like months living together, and just when he finally felt they were on stable footing, she's again wrenched from his grasp. Is this their true destiny? To be torn from each other over and over again? Yet, Demeter could never count on their mental connection, one as tied to the Underworld as they are. Too powerful and too old for even Demeter to touch.
Goddess of The Maiden. The Mistress. The Venerable One. The Queen without her King. It's another day on Olympus, as her mother's carefully guarded secret. Never seen. Never heard. Except for the dark, mysterious man who visits her dreams. One who keeps insisting they know each other. Not just know each other. He states quite clearly, they're married.
Destiny. Fate. Fortune. Kismet. Time's Up. Yet the lack of memory isn't their only problem, the Underworld is under attack. And the Titans are loose. Blood will be spilled. The Destroyer of Worlds will awaken. And nothing will be the same.

Review & thoughts:

The Queen & the King is the third book in Love & Fate series and the conclusion to Hades and Persephone’s story. I love this series and this third book definitely didn’t disappoint, I really enjoyed it and already can’t wait for next books about other characters! 

The Queen & the King begins shortly after the ending of the previous book and after that cliffhanger, I couldn’t wait to see what happens next. The is so much happening from the first page, the plot is perfectly paced and I literally read the book in a few hours at night because I couldn’t put it down, we learn some new things and the confrontations with the villains were so satisfying to read. It was amazing to see Persephone and Hades again, after everything they went through in previous books I was rooting so much for them to find their HEA. Persephone is different here from who we met before and my heart was breaking at times for Hades, but I loved how they fell in love all over again and learned how to love the new pieces of each other, they both came a long way from who they were at the beginning of their story and I just love these two and how perfect they are for each other, I hope we will get to see them again in the next books in this series. And of course, it was great to see Mellie, Helios and Berry again (especially Berry, he is so cute!) and I can’t wait to dive into Helios and Mellie’s story next!

The Queen & the King is the perfect conclusion to Hades and Persephone’s story, this series has everything I love in fantasy romance genre and I definitely recommend it, it’s amazing! I already can’t wait for more books in this series.
