The author gave me this book in exchange for an honest review.I really enjoyed the first two installments of this series, which is a play on the Persephone story as well as other Greek myths. We have been following Persephone, her husband and fortunately, the man she loves, Hades, and a long list of other characters, all who have their unique spin. We continue the story from the first two books, where Persephone has gotten a lot of attention for her potential for having lots of power. She has been kidnapped and is now being tortured by the powerful being who whisked her away at the end of the second book. We follow her, Hades, and Aphrodite.I was delighted to see that we got to see in Aphrodite's head this time, who has consistently been one of my favorite characters. She didn't disappoint in this entry. The rest of the characters continue to be terrific and interesting, and there are some nice plot twists along the way, with the humor that we've learned to love from Bevis.I wasn't as enamored by this book as the others because there is a lot of torture in it, which was hard for me to read and get through, and the villain is pretty two dimensional. Lastly, I had trouble at times with the very short chapters and going from perspective to perspective.That said, the end was not completely an ending, so I can't wait to see the next installment in this series!
