Oh! I really liked this one! As a big fan of Persephone and Hades, I couldn't let this one go by without giving a try and let me tell you something: I wasn't disappointed at all!Overall, as the blurb mentioned it, Persephone learns that she's a Goddess (one of many other Zeus's daughters). At first she doesn't believe her mother (Demeter), but when the God of Winter (Boreas) tries to abduct you and Hades, the God of the Underworld barely save you from this horrible fate, you have no other choice to finally believe your mother!Persephone will discover a whole new world, much puzzled and fascinated by that new environment, Persephone must learn to protected herself from her enemies by developing her goddess powers. Overwhelmed by all these new elements and prisoner in Hell/Underworld for ''her own good'' with none other than the charismatic, attractive sexy but also condescending Hades, Persephone must find and forge her own place as Queen of the Underworld!This story, told repeatedly and from multiple angles and different POV is a beautiful story of courage, self-discovery and even love (at some point). Kaitlin Bevis has a beautiful writing style and it will appeal to most readers. I think the author was comfortable with this subject in general because it is not easy to tell or retell Persephone and Hades's story, without falling into the ''Stockholm'' cliché.The action was present almost from beginning until the end. The plot of this story was quite different from the original story, one of many reasons why I loved this book! The characters have retained their respective character and I liked the fact that Hades does not turn into a loving and caring (madly in love puppy boyfriend kind of lover) over one night. After all, he's still the God of the Underworld!Page Turner: Yes!Series: Yes, well the way the book had ended I think it will at least have a sequel!Stand Alone: YesHotness: Hades for sure and as always!Proserpine Recommendation: If you are a fan of Greek Mythology and love to read a good YA Paranormal Romance, this book is for you! Buy: absolutely!Source: Bought!Proserpine @ Proserpine Craving Books :[...]
