I absolutely love Greek mythology, I always have so of course I jumped at the chance to read a story about one of my most favorite stories, Persephone and Hades.Who doesn't love a story about star crossed lovers?I love the way Bevis put a modern spin on this story while still very much sticking to it's Greek roots. It really turned out wonderfully.I loved the main character Persephone, she was strong and a little feisty and very much didn't want to be a goddess, at least at first. She did not want people fighting her battles and she was compassionate when being a god and compassion just didn't normally go hand in hand.Hades was fabulous. I love that he wasn't the villain. He was very much a hero in this tale.Cassandra, Melissa, Helen, all great secondary characters and as we all know, secondary characters in my opinion can make or break a story.I am so glad that there wasn't a love triangle or even an insta love in this one. It had just the right amount of romance and action and mythology to really make it a perfect read.I was sad to see this one end, I really wanted more. I guess I will just have to wait until the sequel comes out to find out more. This is a series that I will definitely be picking up and continuing.
