I was really excited about reading a romance about Hades and Persephone, and this one got great reviews asside from poor editing.  I agree that there were some editing problems.  Usually this doesn't bother me much if the story is really good.  What did bother me was Persephone.  Her character came off as annoying.  She whined and complained almost throughout the entire novel.  I get that Hades took her to the underworld, but she likes him anyways.  I wanted to shake her and tell her to get over it.  Then when she is ok with that aspect, she picks some other reason to push him away.  It make me wonder why Hades was so in love with her.  I usually don't want to put books down at all costs, but with this book I put it down often.  It did not keep my intrest.  To me, the book started off better than it finished.  I was excited at first but slowly became annoyed with Persephone.  I still think this was a fairly well written novel, and if you are a fan of mythology, you will probably enjoy this work.  The small price tag makes my opinion a little higher, but if this book was $7.99 I would have been mad with myself for buying it.  I will probably never reread this book.  If you are really wanting to read a romance about Hades and Persephone, then you might try this one, but if you just want to read a romance, skip this one.
