Book Talk Review; Hades

I need more Hades and Persephone

“Welcome to Hell.” 

Persephone Fields is just an average girl: beloved daughter and loyal friend. One night decides her Fate, when the prince of The Underworld becomes her savior and her kidnapper. 

Hades has lived centuries in darkness and sin. When he decides to save the blonde goddess, he doesn’t consider the ramifications of his decision to bring her into his realm. 

Two worlds divided struggle to find friendship in a history of family discord beyond their control. When attraction blurs the line, questions result in choices of love or loyalty. 

A modern twist of the classic myth: Hades and Persephone, this version incorporates the sensual tension of opposites divided by contemporary humanity and mythical underworlds. Also reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet, this is a love story ripe with desire.

Author’s note: This book contains scenes of sexual intimacy.

First off, I have to say that I love Greek Mythology. And I love Romeo and Juliet. This story is a mixture of both.

Hades and Persephone can't be more different. Hades is the son of well, Hades. Persephone is human. As human as she can be with the secrets her family keeps. 

There is so much that can be explored in this world and I cannot wait to see where the author takes the storyline. 

There were a few places that could have been explored deeper, but I hope that in the other books in the series will help put things in perspective. 

Hades is my new favorite. I love him. He was brought up to do and be one thing, but he's so good. And he loves so much. 

Persephone is alone and afraid in a world that she doesn't understand. 

I did not expect to feel the emotions. I was so upset when it came down to the climax because I was against the choices that were forced to be made. 

I can only hope that there will be more Hades and Persephone, either they get a part two or their storyline will continue in between the other storylines coming. Hades and Persephone deserve so much more. My heart needs more.

I loved the infusion of Shakespeare's poems and lines from Romeo and Juliet. It made the emotion so much more special. The relationship between Hades and Persephone was beautiful. 

I can't wait to see where this world goes in the other books.
