This was the first re-telling of Persephone and Hades that I've read, and I enjoyed it greatly. It is told in a present day setting as if the events of the original myth had never been known about. Persephone seems like your normal teenager for the most part. I guess that's because she never knew she was anything but a normal teenager until now. He character grows in many ways through this story. While she's not the same Persephone in the end as she was in the beginning, she stays strong and true to herself. Hades is not what I expected. Sure, he has some of the same aspects of his dark side we've all read in the myths, but he is different in many ways too. He's still the stern ruler I always imagined, but he seems to have a softer side too. Though many things were changed, I felt like this story kept the spirit of the gods and Persephone and Hades' story alive. Their romance wasn't easy, and I'm still not entirely sure where this series will take them. I'm a huge fan of Greek Mythology, so I enjoyed this book tremendously. Whether you enjoy the myths or not, I think fans of paranormal romances will enjoy this engaging and highly entertaining story. Persephone by Kaitlin Bevis gave us some fun and creative twists to the story of Persephone and Hades, and it sure has me anxious to read more.Persephone by Kaitlin Bevis was provided to me by YA Bound for review.
