I really should have stopped reading this one at about 50% of the way through. Remember my complaints about A Touch of Darkness? Yeah...they just get worse. Persephone is easily the stupidest most idiotic main character I have ever read. This book was just stupid decision after stupid decision after stupid decision. She ‘betrays' Hades at least three times in this book, running to Hecate every single time to say that she Messed Up. YEAH NO SHIT, PERSEPHONE, maybe just TRUST that Hades knows what he's doing. He's only SEVERAL MILLENIUM OLDER THAN YOU.

Jesus Christ.

Hades and Persephone's relationship seems to be built entirely upon sex. She complains that she doesn't know him, that he doesn't communicate with her, and then the SECOND THAT HE TRIES TO, she runs away.

Please. Please just read literally anything else other than this series. It's not worth it.
