She had unrequited feelings for him and after being friend zoned, she accepted that they would only ever be friends.
Zed is her oldest friend from before the massacre that created her Hades persona, she literally only fully trusts him and her sister Seph.
I will say that I really love the change in roles- usually in the rh genre we read about one of the male mc’s being the alphahole dark criminal and the fmc being naive with a heart of gold willing to look past all the dark parts of their personality but here that trope has been flipped on it’s head and I. When they first got together instead of telling him she was Hades (although he finds out pretty quickly thanks to Zed) she actually gives him her real name which is significant because no one knows or uses her real name. He is able to separate Hades the crime lord from Hades the woman- something that no one else in her life is able to do.There is something squeaky clean and inherently good about Lucas so Hades has this uncharacteristic urge to help him out. Hades and Lucas are straight fire together. This starts a series of events that I could never have predicted before I picked up the book. Suddenly, this drop dead gorgeous would-be stripper, Lucas, approaches her and wants to buy her a drink. The opening scene has Hades drowning her embarrassment and sorrows at her club 7th Circle after she made a move on Cass (readers of the Madison Kate series are probably squeeing with excitement right now) and being shut down hard (and now those same readers are probably booing). I mean not that I’m a crime lord- not by day anyway… But like I said it worked really well. It’s actually genius making Hades a woman, I loved it, as a matter of fact I identified with her so hard. Hades is a woman- gasp! I know, I know but if you think about it if the infamous Hades had been a man there was no way that he would be sharing a chick with anyone.
But I digress, so like everyone else that has been following Tate James I couldn’t wait to read 7th Circle and find out the identity of Hades- we didn’t even know whether Hades was a man or a woman! So I waffled back and forth on this review and how much to reveal because I absolutely don’t want to ruin the reading experience so I will reveal some mild details but you won’t find any major spoilers here- stop crying, when you’re done reading this you can head right over to Amazon and start reading the book.
