After the way book one left me hanging, I couldn't wait to dive into this one... unfortunately, it also ends on a cliffhanger! It was so easy to fall back into Hades and Persephone's world(s) again. This is a bit darker than book one, but no less tense, steamy, and addicting. They've finally found each other, but it's not smooth sailing for these fated lovers. Getting to see the cracks and vulnerabilities in both Hades and Persephone made them seem more human in some ways, but that's not a bad thing. My biggest complaint (besides the cliffhanger), was Persephone's struggle with communicating with Hades. That said, it kind of fits because she's never had a truly serious relationship, and I don't think it's a skill her mother instilled in her. I do recommend this is you love myth retellings, and spicy romance. ( )
