 Verified  Fast-paced historical adventure/romance highlighting under-represented stories
Daughter’s of Hades (Grand Winner of a CIBA prize for historical fiction) by Mack Little, is a fast-paced, multi-faceted and cross-genre novel that weaves romance, adventure, and little known historical facts. The scope of it is ambitious and carefully-researched. I loved how Little integrated the stories of pirates, Irish buccaneers and Maroons (escaped Caribbean slaves); the fall of the Ming Dynasty; and accepted practices of same-sex relationships on French ships (matelotage). The violence was sometimes a lot for my nervous system (I’m someone who couldn’t get through the first season of Outlander), but I highly recommend for fans of these genres, and especially those wanting to see more POC and LGTBQ+ representation within them!

 Verified  Erotic romance, drama, history, and a lot more!
If you like to read descriptive scenes with detailed dialogues and raw emotions, this book will surely keep you engaged.Set in the 17th century, two siblings (brother and sister) escape slavery and hop onto a pirate ship where their lives see some new challenges.The sister finds new love but her previous owner is looking for her and wants to punish her. Meanwhile, the girl and her Chinese lover engage in intimate sexual acts, which the writer has depicted in details.Some of you might like reading those scenes but some would argue them to be distracting from the original plot. In any case, the detailed writing is impressive. The writer also introduces some other characters facing racism and slavery, which makes the book even more interesting.However, the editing of the book needs to be improved as some spellings/sentences don’t follow conventional English rules. Still “Daughter of Hades” is an interesting book to read.

 Verified  A romantic date with a hot pirate!
“Slippery brew of sensation..” well that was very descriptive! More than a romance novel “Daughter of Hades” is a period novel where we see a lot of historical events surrounding the characters and the pirate ship named Hades. Mack Little did her fair share of research which makes the story although it is fiction more riveting. Fans of romance novels should read this one! The plot is intriguing and some characters are scary but the rest are hot.

 Verified  Well put together
Daughter of Hades is the first book in a series with an absorbing portrait of romance, sex and violence.The storyline flows super fast, though at no point does it get difficult to follow. It is well written and the author has wittily put forth sexual content scenes explicitely but in a way it does not overwhelm readers.

 Verified  Love Lei and Dinny!
Daughter of Hades is the first book in the Love & Peace Series by Mack Little. It is a 15th-century setting nautical romance, with Geraldine, or Dinny, being the protagonist who escapes slavery and thus abuse under Master Craig, regrettably leaving her parents behind, and escaping to sea with her brother, Jimmie, as well as Lei and Duff. The romance between Lei and Dinny is sweet and well prosed. It’s as dramatic a pirate romance as any I’ve read.

 Verified  Exciting
If you like pirate ships, magic, sizzling romance, and adventure, then Mack Little’s Daughter of Hades: Book 1 of the Love & Peace Series is the perfect book for you.Following the lives of two families coming from vastly different backgrounds, the book gives tribute to the resilience of escaped slaves and seamen. I feel like the author deftly covered many sad aspects of history in a way that resonates with the reader but without glossing over the realities of what occurred.I really enjoyed the book and look forward to seeing what comes next in the series.

 Verified  A story with sexy pirates!
If you’re planning to read Daughter of Hades, hold your horses because you are in the hands of a graphic romance and action-packed story set in the 16th century with enormous ships and lots of pirates!In my opinion, the author delivered an astonishing story, mainly because of the elegance and eloquence of the vocabulary. This gave me a feeling as if I was “zoning out” of my environment or teleported into the narrative. A wonderful experience I had reading this book, not minimizing the R-rated part. I would recommend it mainly to those readers looking for an exciting and romantic adventure!
