Not yet published
Expected 23 Sep 26When a vicious assassin is banished from the life he’s known, he starts over only to be tempted by the goddaughter he hasn’t seen in almost twenty years.
Hades
Vindictive, malicious, some would even say sadistic…
I couldn’t argue with any of those assessments. We are who we are. I’m a vengeful assassin who will stop at nothing to make those who wronged me pay. And I’m thirsty for revenge.
Eighteen years ago, I took the fall for a man who was like a brother to me. I even vowed to protect his daughter by becoming her godfather— and then he betrayed me.
Two decades later, his daughter, now a stunning woman strolls into my life, having no idea who I am or what I’m capable of. Capri takes an unhealthy interest in me, the older and dangerous man, and I don’t do anything to discourage her. I welcome her obsession because it suits me.
When her infatuation with me grows stronger, I prove just how vindictive, malicious, and sadistic I really am. Is she the opportunity I need to enact my revenge against her father or is she the reason I finally let this vendetta go?

Review of advance copy received from Author
Sebastian Zikos—known throughout the underworld as Hades the Assassin—is the ultimate dark and dangerous hero. A striking silver fox with mesmerizing green eyes, he is powerful, ruthless, and feared by many. As the owner of Club Hades on the beautiful island of Syros, he has spent nearly two decades carrying the scars of betrayal, living with the consequences of a crime he never committed.
Eighteen years earlier, the man he considered a brother, Leonardo Ferrante, destroyed his life. Hades took the fall for Leonardo's actions, sacrificing everything while the man he trusted walked away. Their bond had once been so close that Leonardo named Hades the godfather of his daughter, Capri, and the two men even shared matching New York skyline tattoos as a symbol of their brotherhood. That betrayal shaped Hades into the hardened man he is today.
Capri Ferrante is everything Hades never expected to find. Beautiful, sweet, compassionate, and fiercely loyal, she is a captivating heroine whose kindness shines even in the darkest circumstances. When twenty-year-old Capri walks into Club Hades, neither of them is prepared for the connection that instantly ignites between them. Believing their meeting is fate, Capri gives her heart completely, trusting the intense feelings growing between them.
What begins as an undeniable attraction quickly develops into something far deeper. For Hades, a man who has never allowed anyone to truly occupy his thoughts, Capri becomes an obsession. She slips past every wall he has carefully built around his heart, forcing him to confront emotions he thought he had buried long ago. Despite the years separating them, their complicated godfather relationship, the bitterness he still carries toward her father, and the dangers surrounding them, their bond only grows stronger.
The story is filled with emotional turmoil, family secrets, lies, betrayals, and enemies who would do anything to use Capri against Hades. Constant threats and mounting danger keep the tension high, while the romance remains at the heart of the story. Watching Hades transform from a cold, isolated assassin into a fiercely protective man willing to risk everything for the woman he loves is incredibly satisfying.
I especially loved the dynamic between these two characters. Capri's innocence and unwavering belief in love balance perfectly with Hades's possessive, protective nature. While theirs is very much an insta-love romance, the emotional connection between them feels genuine as they fight against impossible odds to be together.
By the end, their journey delivers a deeply emotional and well-earned happily-ever-after. Through all the pain, betrayal, and danger, they find a love built on understanding, trust, and acceptance. Hades may have spent years believing fate had abandoned him, but in the end, he comes to realize that Capri might have been destined for him all along. A captivating romance featuring an innocent yet strong heroine, a dark and devoted older hero, and a love story powerful enough to overcome even the deepest wounds of the past.

** ARC Review Incoming **
Thank you to Ella Jade and Booksprout for allowing me to be part of the Arc Team and for giving me a free copy of this book.
Hades Revenge had some enjoyable moments, especially the age-gap romance and the MMC, who was definitely the highlight of the story for me. I liked his protective, possessive energy and the chemistry between the main characters.
That said, I struggled with the writing style, although it did improve as the book progressed. The story also felt rushed, and I would have loved more detail and development in both the plot and character relationships. Overall, an entertaining read with a strong hero, but it needed more depth to fully deliver.

Sebastian is an assassin known as Hades, and 18yrs ago he toom the fall for his friend and family man Leonardo even becoming godfather to his daughter Capri, only to be betrayed. Now 20yrs on Hades runs a club and Carpi walks in, an instant attraction, but she has no clue who he is or his reputation, and Sebastian decides she'll be his revenge, but she might just be his saviour? Well written the story and characters draw you in with steamy desires drama action, age gap, off limits, revenge and more

I would give Hades' Revenge 6⭐️stars if I could have. It has everything I love in a dark romance book. Age gap/silver fox with touch her and ☠️ and daddy vibes. Sebastian's and Capri's story had me hooked from the beginning. The banter and spice were top tier. If you have never read any of Ella's work, I highly recommend you do, because she never disappoints. I received an ARC copy via Bookfunnel for an honest review.

Oh my this was so good from the start. Every now snd then a good age gap with dark elements just hits the spot and this one definitely did. The chemistry between Capri and Sebastian aka “Hades” was electric from the start. So much history between them. I love how even though he kept insisting he was tough and hard he became soft and admitted she was his weakness. He’d do anything to keep her and hurt anyone who hurt her even if it was her own family.

The author has given us a darker older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Hades/Sebastian and Capri. The heart pounding story keeps us turning the pages with secrets, connection, danger, action and steam.
