This book was STUPENDOUS!!  I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning to finish, which I haven't done in quite a while.  The story picks up a few months where Persephone (Daughters of Zeus #1) ended.  Persephone is still struggling with her promise to Thanatos and it's taking its toll on her entire life.  I completely sympathized with her.  I could understand her feelings of betrayal from her mother's deception, as well as, the guilt she carried from her own secret she was keeping from Hades.  Then Aphrodite, with nuclear powered charm, shows up on a beach adding to the chaos.  Fighting with her mom and best friend Melissa, growing distant from Hades and being tortured on a daily basis; it's no wonder she turned to the distraction Joel could provide.  Something that really struck me was the complexity of emotions from the other Gods.  While they wanted to stop Zeus and his insidious plan, they still felt grateful for getting them out from under the Titans' rule.  The more I get into this series the more I love Hades!  He's loyal and caring, but he can be cruel and vengeful.  He's not perfect and that's what attracts me.  This story is like a Gobstopper candy.  It has so many delicious flavors!
