OK I have to start this review by saying I am a huge mythology lover so I go into mythology reads with high expectations. This book definitely didn't disappoint me. I loved it and it rocked my face off. It had one of the main elements that I love in mythology reads which is when I can tell the author has done their research and this author most certainly did.  She took the time to do the research but still made the story her own and very unique. I loved that this story had a little different take on Persephone and Hades. It was refreshing to get a break from the norm.Persephone was your average teen going on with her life until it all changes for her in ways she could never imagine.Persephone who goes by the name of Kora instead is in for quite the surprise. I have to say I found myself laughing out loud when her mom told her what she was. The fact that she thought she was going crazy and her mom was too was hilarious. The author had such a well written character that I saw all the facial impressions that she was making as she was talking to her mom. I mean wouldn't you be shocked if your mom told you that you were a goddess. I have to say that Kora handled it all pretty well after she got over the shock and learned how powerful she could be.I have to say that the main thing I loved about this book is that this story was really all about Kora. There are so many times that the tale of Persephone always makes it just as much about Hades. I love that Hades was in this story but it was still more about Persephone. I feel like that really allowed for the author to give us tons of back story on her and to really fully develop her as a character. I loved that we got a really cool look into the Underworld and that it was more modern. It felt nice to see that the Gods evolved some with the times and kept up with the latest technology. Of course we had to get to the part of Persephone learning more about her powers and having to deal with the ultimate battle that ensues. I loved how she stepped up the plate and was determined to do her part in it.Overall I loved everything about this book. Persephone was such a lovely character and was so well written that she seemed more like your every day friend that you would be hanging out with. She was a strong willed character and I can't wait to see more of her. I loved seeing all the Gods too and can't wait to see more of them in the next story. Persephone is going to have a lot to learn about herself and her place in this world but I think she can handle it all. The author has a really cool new series on her hands and I for one can't wait for the next one.I received a copy of this from the author for an honest review.
