Quick and engaging read that I finished in 1 day. I started this after reading a series that totally strung me out with angst, and it was a welcome relief. I agree with others that there's definitely more room for relationship development, but there's several more books in store and I'm hoping this ...

The Persephone story is one of my favorites, and this was a very interesting take on it. I finished it in 24 hours, which is quite speedy for someone like me.

Between 2.5 and 3 stars, this was a cute read, but didn't have too much depth or angst. Add to that, the heroine seemed super young...I don't remember how old she was supposed to be, but her reactions to things made her sound like shew as just entering her teen years, rather then coming close to lea...

Mythology is one of my favorite themes and story about Hades and Persephone is my favorite Greek myth. In Persephone, Kaitlin Bevis retold it but with some interesting twists. I liked that our Persephone lives in a contemporary setting. Don't get me wrong historical novel about Greek culture would...

When I won this book recently I was really happy because I love reading anything involving Greek mythology. I'm a huge fan of the Covenant series by Jennifer L. Armentrout and the Oracle of Delphi series by Diantha Jones, so I was really excited to read Persephone. The only retelling I've read about...
