I received this book for free from Author, MTMC Tours in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
"Be young tonight, if you must. For tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow you will grow old, and the night will no longer be your lover."
The powers of the pantheon have faded. The gods live amongst the mortals, grasping for what little of their divinity remains.
When Zeus - King of the Gods - goes missing in modern-day Toronto, it is up to his estranged son, Dio, to find him.
And with rumors of The Darkness coming, Dio will have to race to find his father, and uncover the truth before it's too late!

Why you need to read Dio in the Dark
Dio in the Dark was such a fun & compelling read. I loved reading about Zeus & Dio who struggle with no longer being the powerful deities as they once were & have managed to “adapt” to modern-day society in their own ways.
However, Zeus feels darkness is lurking and it’s the only one that notices. This story centers around Dio though (aka Dionisius), whose relationship with Zeus is strained & how he, and all of the other gods, react to the impending darkness as they overcome their own self-doubts & new lives as long-forgotten deities.
This novella went by so quickly but I could have definitely spent more time with all of the characters. Definitely check it out!!
