Gahhh this book was awesome! It was exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it. I was coming off a high from another fabulous read and struggling to get into anything following that book and I'm so glad I stumbled upon this one and took a break from the story I was having trouble getting into.

I have always been fascinated with mythology and the stories of Hades and Persephone have always been kind of spellbinding. I really enjoyed how this author took these myths and made this story her own. Honestly, I was enthralled. It sucked me right in and I absolutely HAD TO finish it today before I did anything else. Any book that keeps me under that spell is deserving of the highest rating from me. Afterwards I immediately purchased everything else I could find by St. Clair. I am beyond excited to see how Hades and Persephone's story continues! I am dying to know what happens next.
