birdovprey 's review for:

The Maiden & The Unseen by Jeanette Rose, Alexis Rune
3.0

A spicy Persephone and Hades retelling, it was decent, and the spice was moderate. I dont find myself wanting to read the next in the series, and I very heavily doubt I will. The personal connections between the characters were sub-par at best, and I found myself feeling like the writing could've used more....time? Everything felt very rushed and pressed. It's by no means the worst book I've ever read, but it's also not the BEST Persephone and Hades retelling out there. It's worth a read if you enjoy spice, but if you're looking for well established characters with personalities and chemistry, this doesn't have it.
