This was kind of the opposite of Shades of Milk and Honey–the historical details were well done, while the fantasy part and the romance were both a bit eye-roll inducing. I think that Percy as a character needs to feel older than she does, which is partly because she is constantly–and I mean CONSTAN...

I have come to the conclusion that my tastes are unlike anyone else’s because I can’t explain why a book that has received four to five stars from its readers got two stars from me. Am I not seeing something that they are? (I may as well admit (confess? dare I?) that I am no fan of Twilight either.)...
While this did at times became WAY overly-dramatic, it was impossible not to enjoy the ride. It turned out to be a really fun romp into the gothic-romantic!
This first book in the series had me captured pretty quickly. You can tell that Leanna Hieber has done her homework as the book really does capture the essence of those 18th century romantic novels.

She has nothing to remember her parents by, except a phoenix pendant she wears every day. Percy is an a...
This book did many of the things I like least in fiction, but oddly enough I enjoyed this book. Couldn't put it down and finished it within the day with time to spare. Although it began somewhat awkwardly, I really like the premise and settings of the book. The characters seemed of the cookie cutter...
2.5 starsI had a difficult time rating this book. On the one hand, I really like Hieber's word choices and descriptions. They are so perfect for the epic, timeless quality of her legend. I love the idea behind the story, of the Greek goddess Persephone and her murdered love the Phoenix. A very intri...
I think I have to go against everyone else once again. I mean the book was ok, but, I struggled with the first 100 pages and was kind of bored by it all. Then it got better and then it had me enthralled, but I still remember that first struggle.This is the tale of Persephone Parker who comes straigh...
