Persephone's Orchard by Molly Ringle
4.0
The start of this book concerned me, with simplistic prose and a cliche kidnapping of Sophie by Aidan(?), the reincarnations of Persephone and Hades respectively. What's great about this book is that it is exactly what it appears to be: a romance. But told through several lifetimes. We see Persephone’s memories played out in Sophie’s dreams as she learns about her different incarnations. Meanwhile, there are evil forces looking to wipe out the immortals and Sophie is trying to adjust to her first year of college.
I would have liked to see more of Sophie’s life outside of the other Greek deities, but appreciated that the story was nice and concise. It’s a sweet story and I plan to read the next one to find out what happens now that they’ve lost their leader. Seeing the different layers of reality, including the Underworld, helped make the setting engrossing.
