I have to confess to loving Greek myth retellings. This one doesn't disappoint. It does give you a Hades you want to get the girl in the end. There's  a great peice of dialogue between Hades and Cassandra where Cassandra suggests that Hades tell Persephone that he's the good guy. In response, Hades asks, "Am I the good guy?" Cassandra wisely remains silent. Nice.Anyway, Persephone has been raised as a mortal and her god powers are just starting to emerge when she catches the attention of Boreas. Hades saves Persephone the only way he can - he marries her and takes her to the underworld. While Demeter is less than pleased, she agees to let Persephone stay with Hade until the winter's over and Boreas' loses interest or his  power dwindles. But Boreas isn't done with Persephone yet, and if she doesn't come into her own power not even hell can save her.Great read. Highly recommended.
