OMG! Kaitlin how can you do this to me?That ending was was so good/bad, good in the sense that it was a bloody fantastic cliffhanger and bad because well it's a cliffhanger and we have to wait till Spring 2013 to be able to find out what happens!This book is in my opinion definitely better than the first book Persephone, I loved it, loved it, loved it, but jeez I will not sit here and wallow in the fact that 2013 still feels like years away when you're waiting to find out how this ending will resolve itself, ok so maybe I'll wallow a little.God how I love Hades character, and although he was in the book quite a bit, I still wanted more, I can never read too much of him and his gorgeousness, but I'm also a fan of Persephone as well and life didn't exactly go so well for her this time, in the first book she found out who she was in this one she lost herself through the interference of Zeus, Thanatos, The Reapers and even Aphrodite.Through the oath that Persephone made to Thanatos in the previous book, she cannot tell anyone, especially Hades, about his dealings and betrayal of secretly working with Zeus to bring down Hades, knowing this secret and not being able to tell Hades drives a wedge between the two of them, Hades knows that she's hiding something from him but he can't figure out what.Persephone is effectively alone in this book, she's not talking to her mother Demeter, her best friend/priestess Melissa or Hades, and this is what Zeus wants, and he uses it to his advantage, but can Persephone and Hades defeat Zeus?And will Hades find out about Thanatos and his intentions before it's too late?I cannot explain how much I loved this book, Kaitlin you've got another winner on your hands.A fast-paced, unputdownable series that gets better with every book, definitely pick this one up.
