Persephone's Orchard by Molly Ringle
5.0
New Adult novels are somewhat new to me as a reader. I’ve read only one other and was surprised at how well I enjoyed it. So when I found out that this book was in the same genre, I had high hopes. And let me just say, it was so much more than I expected.
Persephone’s Orchard is a wonderful modern take on the centuries old mythological romance between Hades and Persephone. The author’s beautiful blend of contemporary romance with the legendary story of the Greek God and Goddess is artfully done, as she builds an extraordinary world that not even dreams are made of. Each and every character in the story is written with intricate detail and care, transporting the reader into the story through the lives of those in it. Her two main characters, Sophie and Adrian, are exciting. Their journey, both together and individually, is what makes the story so great.
It’s incredibly hard to review a book that is so packed with intense emotion and moments that, if told, would make the book less enjoyable for others to read. So, with that being said, the story of Persephone’s Orchard will make you laugh, cry and leave you hoping that there is much more to come from this incredibly talented author. It’s definitely a book you don’t want to miss.
