silkareads 's review for:

Hades by Alexandra Adornetto
4.0

If you liked Halo, you'll love Hades. The only problem is that you will certainly need to have Heaven on hand because it ends with a major cliffhanger!

When a séance at a Halloween party goes awry, Beth is tricked into traveling to hell by a familiar fallen angel. Xavier, Ivy, and Gabriel will stop at nothing to rescue Beth, as she clings to what hope she has left in the hellhole she's now trapped in.

I'd rate this 3.5/5 stars because the plot is well developed, but there are chunks of pages where nothing seems to move forward, and I wish that happened less frequently. I had no qualms with Alexandra Adornetto's writing style, the words flowed smoothly and her sentences were hardly ever choppy. Bethany was a very strong character who continued to evolve in her love and cunningness as she struggled with her situation, and many times I found myself emotionally connected with her.

Overall I recommend Hades if you liked Halo and if you enjoy reading about Angels and demons, heaven and hell, etc.

This review may not be as professional as I usually try to make them because I find it harder to be gripped by eBooks than paper copies, so I actually read chunks of this book over about a year and a half, while reading many other books in between. But I found it easy to transition back into the world of Hades, which is a good sign.
