I don’t love traditional Greek mythology as I always find it dry and boring to read. I bought this book based on the cover, as I am wont to do with my book selections, and didn’t know it was a Hades & Persephone retelling. When I started reading, I wasn’t sure if I would finish (I never DNF). This book is so engaging, however, that after the third chapter I was hooked. The characters are delightful even at their worst. The world created in the novel is fantastic and beautiful. The love story is sweet and sexy, if a bit predictable. The sex scenes are a bit repetitive but still have some elements of spice that are delectable. I can’t wait to buy the rest of the books in this series.
