Open the pages of My Lord Hades and escape to the world of the Greek Gods. Read the story of Hades and Persephone in a way that has never before been revealed.Remember your Greek mythology and the story of Persephone and Hades. It was a story of abduction, despair and cruelty.  Not a very pleasant tale but one that explained the changing seasons.Stephannie Beman has taken that fable and breathed new life into it. Beman has told the story in a way that is much more believable and gives a human side to Hades and a strong edge to Persephone. No longer is this a story of two dimensional creatures that are either good or bad but rather one of complex individuals who live, feel and breath magic.I enjoyed the way the story was laid out. At times I did feel that it was predictable - as many love stories are - but then Beman would throw a twist in that would surprise me. The only thing that I found disruptive was that at certain places the story didn't flow as well as well as in others and I found myself rereading a passage or two. That said My Lord Hades is a very enjoyable read that will transport the reader to the depths of the Underworld and the heights of Olympus.
