The Neon God is a living idea created from the concept of the city and the desire to feel connected, similar to how the Scarlet King was created from humanity's dissatisfaction with the modern world. The Neon God was capable of transforming any land it came across into parts of one endless city. Upon being done with consuming its original world, the Neon God used SCP-7005 to expand its influence to the wider multiverse. This process started with the manifestations of random structures in small populated areas such as poor villages which would eventually transform into large buildings with neon lights and connected cables while being separated with different types of roads.

With no options left, Persephone flees to the forbidden undercity and makes a devil’s bargain with a man she once believed a myth…a man who awakens her to a world she never knew existed. Aphrodite has never flinched at getting her perfectly manicured hands dirty, and she’s not about to start now―even if that means marrying Olympus’s enemy number one, the new Hephaestus. Hades is a puppy dog. I don’t think that is something that you would hear very often, but he really is. On the outside, he has this grumpy exterior that we all know Hades to have, but Persephone sure does break him down. Orpheus Makos will do whatever it takes to make things right. Once the golden boy of the upper city, he’s now a shadow of his former self.Being a living idea created of human thought, the Neon God has no real appearance and it depends on how humanity see it. Rosie Hartlepool described the Neon God as a massive wall filled with yellow artificial lights, which formed unknown words, and countless cables connecting it to the other buildings. Now that a coveted role has opened to anyone with the strength to claim it, he and his partner, Patroclus Fotos, plan to compete and double their odds of winning. Perhaps rough hands on soft skin are exactly what she needs to forget her heartbreak once and for all?

I get shivers just thinking of their interactions. SHIVERS."-Mimi Koehler for The Nerd Daily for Neon Gods The rest of the plot was rather simple. For all the myths about Hades, he was pretty chill. His people don’t fear him, which is the case in almost every Hades retelling. He might be dominant but he’s a softie that looks after his people. And without sharing spoilers, the ending was a little anticlimactic. A note that is called out by Hades. Since it’s told him his perspective, and he notes that it doesn’t resolve much for all the turmoil he’s gone through in his life. Not that it ultimately would. It wasn’t bad, but it was a simple solution. One that makes pretty much everyone but Zeus (the bastard who killed his last three wives and has unspeakable things done to other individuals) happy. Hades has spent his life in the shadows, and he has no intention of stepping into the light. But when he finds that Persephone can offer a little slice of the revenge he's spent years craving, it's all the excuse he needs to help her-for a price. Yet every breathless night spent tangled together has given Hades a taste for Persephone, and he'll go to war with Olympus itself to keep her close... From the start of Neon Gods, we can see that there is more than meets the eye with him. We can see that he isn’t just that hard god of the underworld, but something way more than that. And slowly as the novel goes on readers get to see that. And it’s not something that stands out, it’s the little things. The conversation about consent. Making sure that Persephone is taken care of. Making sure that Persephine is eating. And my favourite way – Hades and the puppies. I seriously couldn’t contain myself.Being the embodiment of the human desire to live together with each other, the Neon God didn't really have a personality of its own and only sought to achieve that desire by converting all land it came across into one city. Moreover, it didn't have any real understanding of what a city was or how it was supposed to work, and instead the city it created just superficially resembled one, with chaotic and nonsensical placement or proportions of the buildings with a random number of rooms which attempted to become real regardless of the God's efforts. The inhabitants after becoming possessed, they lost their minds, becoming emotionless and obsessed in living lives that were befitting to citizens. Its worshipers made their own interpretation of the Neon God as a being which represented the negation of everything and the destruction of all meaning, making it appear as a much more complex and profound being than it actually was. The God was shown to be emotionless with no real understanding of life or mind of its own. Beside wanting to transform all land it encountered into one unified city it also sought to bring in numerous people to become the inhabitants of its city. It was later stated that the Neon God felt some jealousy on how to other cities it had witnessed appeared and worked, and it wished to create a city of its own, but again it didn't understand how those other cities came to be and how they were supposed to work. When parts of its city were destroyed as a result of natural occurrences the Neon God was described as crying as its city couldn't withstand destruction. Hades and Persephone were hot together, they were fire and these scenes just added to it. And it’s not just the scenes that they do, but when they are alone you can see that they truly do care for one another, even if they don’t want to admit it. If you need me, I’ll be in my room, silently begging Katee Robert to give me the rest of the Dark Olympus series before I spontaneously combust. He was supposed to be a myth. But from the moment I crossed the River Styx and fell under his dark spell… he was, quite simply, mine.
