I would like to begin by apologizing to the author. Sorry but this book was not for me. 
I enjoyed the first one but the second one. A big no for me. 

Never been a big fan of too much drama. Definitely not the one you almost always find in Wattpad stories. It is like the author just took all the clichè "how to make unnecessary drama" in one book. 

(SPOILER WARNING!!!!) 

Ex- shows up  (checked)
Breaking a promise  (checked) 
Death of a loved one and get angry for the has the power to bring them back but doesn`t  (checked) 
Going behind his back and breaking a promise again (checked) 
Looks like he cheating, but wasn`t.  (checked) 
Getting kidnapped.  (checked) 

Every time you think they have finally gotten through it. Bome, a new problem comes. I wanted to DNF the book so bad because of that.  

I wished the book had been more about Persephone's struggles with her power and learning how to use them. And her talking and going through her trauma. Because both of these two we barely got to see in the book, and for me, that would have made the book more enjoyable to read. 

However, if you do enjoy drama like this, and are a big fan of Wattpad stories. This book will be perfect for you. We all have different tastes, and just because I didn`t like the book, doesn`t mean others won`t enjoy it. Some might see this book as their favorite book.
