THIS STORY ISN'T THE END OF THIS INTERMINABLE MESS? UGH! The writing favors form over substance, and while I don't mind flowery writing if there isn't anything to back up the beauty it becomes a horrible mess. And that is the best word to describe this book, a mess. It's jumpy and uncoordinated. The...
I really expected Percy to be the Cobweb Bride. Spoilers already! She isn't, but I really expected her to be, especially after the whole her name is Persephone and she was a Goddess loved by the God of the underworld (who they think was Death). I hadn't thought about her name being Persephone unt...
I have literally no idea what to make of this book. It just….I don’t know. The idea behind it was just so interesting and intriguing. I read the synopsis and thought, wow this sounds so good.

This promise of eternal life sounds appealing at first, but Death’s proclamation is not without its shar...

In one singular moment, he was seen, heard, felt, remembered. Some inhaled his decaying scent. Others bitterly tasted him.And everyone recognized Death in o...
Cobweb Bride with theme about Death looking for a bride and the fact that main heroine is called Persephone fooled me into thinking it will be a retelling of a famous greek myth about Persephone and Hades. But Vera Nazarian didn't do this, instead she created a different and completely unique story....
