I liked the idea for this - a modern-day Persephone/Hades romance - but I don't think the worldbuilding was very strong, nor the plot very interesting. Things that happened seemed inconsequential, like the whole article posting scene. Why would the world react so strongly to an article that is not hard-hitting, but just reinforces the stereotype their society already has for the king of the dead? 

4/5 chili peppers though
