This one was awesome, the author, Kaitlin Bevis has given it all. I think I liked Daughter of the Earth and Sky more than the first one: Persephone (and normally I prefer the first book in a series)!Everything seems to be out of control. With Persephone, who can't talk about the implication of Thanatos in her nearly kidnaping attempt by Boreas, who's Thanatos working for, the fact that her best friend almost got killed and now she's turning from her. Her weird relationship with Hades isn't helping and now the apparition of new threats, as the Reapers will lead the poor Persephone to pass through everything alone and without help.I liked the involving of Aphrodite in this novel. This Goddess has a lot of potential as a good and/or bad character and Kaitlin Bevis has used her perfectly! Like if Persephone doesn't have already enough on her shoulder, she will have to care about the unpredictable and newly born Goddess Aphrodite and the fact that she can't control her powers and charms.The relation between Persephone and Hades was intense, always on the brick of something more, but Persephone's always backing off, for reasons explained in the book, and the tension between them is tangible.The Reapers were another great add to this story; they are creepy, strong, and harsh and they only answer to Thanatos. They are threatening Persephone' life, at any moment, to insure that Thanatos' secret is well hidden from Hades.Overall,  this story was the perfect sequel to Persephone: it is fast-paced, with added action, suspense, tension, sacrifice and love, but most of all: more scary enemies lurking in the shadows.Page Turner: Yes!Series: Yes! ( Daughters of Zeus #2)Stand Alone: No, you should read the first one first!Hotness: Hades (Forever Baby!)Proserpine Recommendation: If you have read Persephone, the sequel is a Must! You should totally try this series if you are a fan of Greek Mythology, Ya Paranormal Romance! Buy-Borrow! Put on the TBR-pile and Next-to-buy list!
