Hades by Alexandra Adornetto
2.0

So where to begin here. Well this sequel is like a trash fire that just doesn't go out. Beth is still the same naive goody-two shoes who does absolutely nothing. Xavier is the perfect pretty boy who never does anything fun. Jake is just the most comedic attempt at writing a demon/fallen angel (and yes I've seen Supernatural so I've seen bad writing). Gabriel and Ivy just are immovable objects that show no emotion or reaction to anything. And Molly is the most relatable character in these books.

While this prose is less preachy than book one, it still holds the ridiculous "values" put forth by the modern Christian religion which leads to more of a comedic effect than a life lesson.

I think the most annoying part of this book is the fact that Beth "projects" to see what is happening on Earth so she is just an observer to the action instead of the usual non-active participant.

The whole series fails to inspire and the characters are annoying. Let's slog our way through book three to close out 2020.
