Okay, I give the author props for writing abour such a difficult subject: time travel. Not all can handle such themes correctly and this one definitely didn't work out so good. The idea was interesting enough but I ended up skimming the last 200 pgs. The ending was rushed, I didn't like any of the c...

This book was gorgeous. A beautiful retelling of the Persephone story. :)
Muddled, Mystified & Marvelous Musings
I am such a sucker for mythology, and the so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to review this novel with my reading group. Having already known the story of Persephone I was intrigued to see the twists Emily Whitman would add to the tale. In Radiant Darkness Whitman contradicts the myth of Persepho...

For those that love mythology, this is right up your alley. For those that could care less about mythology, but like a good story, this is also for you.

Occasionally there are exceptions to this, and Wildwing was one of those occasions. I will admit, I went in with th...

I must say that I adored this book much more than I thought I would! I had no idea that it is about Hades and Persephone. I adored the storyline and the main character Persephone. It is so different than other books I've read. It is much more Greeky. First off, I love that the story is told from Pe...

I said it once, actually more than once, but I’ll say it again: I just love re-tellings! I love it when authors turn the bad guys to good; turning their characters and their stories into a deeper and more interesting tale that feels so sweet and intriguing.How sweet was this tale! I’ve known about H...

There is just something about historicals that bring me to life. I love reading them. Addy is swept back in time when she mess with a time machine. She is then mistaken for a lady and is taken back to the castle. She meets a falconer who has striking eyes that she remembers but just can not place it...
