Persephone's relationship with Hades has gone public and the resulting media storm disrupts her normal life and threatens to expose her as the Goddess of Spring.
Hades, God of the Dead, is burdened by a hellish past that everyone's eager to expose in an effort to warn Persephone away.
Things only get worse when a horrible tragedy leaves Persephone's heart in ruin and Hades refusing to help. Desperate, she takes matters into her own hands, striking bargains with severe consequences.
Faced with a side of Hades she never knew and crushing loss, Persephone wonders if she can truly become Hades' queen.
My Review:
I had a really fantastic time reading this book! I've really enjoyed the first story from both of their perspectives, and I was looking forward to continuing on. Oh, but Persephone goes through a lot in this book, and learns a lot of lessons!
This book was a little bit heartbreaking, because she learns just what the boundaries are for what the Gods can do, and she definitely learns it the hard way. And when you add in Apollo and his actions, well, things just got a bit more complicated!
I really felt for her, and for Hades, who couldn't really do much, but she doesn't understand why until she experiences this loss. Which puts a strain on their relationship, even if I knew that they were going to work it out and become stronger for it. It was still stressful to read!
This is the book where Persephone has learned about her powers, if not how to use them yet, which gives time for all of this emotional turmoil. It helped her grow as a person, and I'm so excited to see where the series goes from here!
This was a fantastic read and I can't wait to continue on!
