AH! AHHH!  AHHHHHHH! THAT CANNOT BE HOW THIS BOOK ENDS.  THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE!*sobs uncontrollably**in a fetal position**for DAYS*What I liked:There are zombies.  I know, you think I should be talking about Persephone, or Hades, or their two love interests, but ZOMBIES.  I really feel like Ms. Woods missed a key selling point by not leading with the zombie thing.Just sayin'.What I liked beyond the zombies:Y'all know how much I love the Blooming Goddess Trilogy, which is about Persephone as well, but not once did I find myself comparing the two.  Why? Because both stories are unique and special flowers.I mean, in both you get gods that are mainly dicks, Persephone coming into her powers, and trying to save the world, but that's pretty much it.Unless you count the well written unique plots and strong characters....This argument sounded better in my head.Let me start over."Persephone: The Life and Untimely Death of a Goddess" features faces that we know and love ... or love to hate as well as some new heroes (and/or villains) in a post-apocalyptic version of the modern world.With zombies.What's not to love?What I didn't like:Aside from the punch to the nads of an ending?  (Which wasn't really something I didn't like, it's just something I could've done without ... especially since I can't find information about a sequel yet ...)Basically my only complaint is the name of "mother."  It flips between Ada and Ava.  Nothing you can't get around and something easily fixable.Who I'd recommend it to:Fans of PNR, post-apocalyptic type novels, and retelling of mythology.Plus all the people I like talking books with so I can further compare this and Blooming Goddess.
