I struggled with this. Persephone made a lot of selfish and questionable choices and it was just difficult to get through. She was also extremely jealous to the point it was kind of annoying. I also feel like she expected all of Hades’ thousand year history but it would take time to get into all of that. The side characters are so great though I love them.

This book was delicious. Love, passion, betrayal, heartbreak and loss, friendship and so much more!

I loved the chemistry between Persephone and Hades.

Hermes is one of my favorite side characters, he cracks me up!

I couldn't put this book down! I kept wanting to figure out what would happen with Hades and Persephone.

Wow, wow, wow! If I could rate this book higher I definitely would! The amount of character development alone in this book is enough to make me happy; there is so much relationship development here as well for so many characters! I love that even the side characters are developing in their own ways and in their own relationships. This was such a fantastic read. At times I felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster. The ups and downs of Persephone's emotions throughout this book made me feel so many different things. There were times I laughed and experienced joy with her and others I experienced heartbreak. Of course there were times that I rolled my eyes, but the reactions totally made sense to who she is. She had amazing development in this book and I can't wait to see more from her in A Touch of Malice. This is easily becoming one of the best series I've ever read.

This wasn’t for me. Persephone seemed more unlikable as the story goes. There are many scenes between Hades and Persephone that are filled with lack of communication and the only way to move on from it is sex. 
Persephone’s character keeps getting worse. While I understand her need to stand up for herself and to not be shadowed by Hades, she can’t seem to understand Hades popularity from the public. And the more reckless she acts, the more stress she brings to me(as a reader).  Writing an article about Apollo and bashing him(for good reason; but not enough to actually face consequences) and then making a selfish deal with Apollo when her bag’s life is at stake…
She keeps prissy, annoying and a lot of times insecure(which I can let it slide especially from her pov).
I was expecting her mother to be more present, but based on that ending, it seems that she will be in the first instalment.
