While I enjoyed some of the banter in the opening sequences of this book, ultimately the character choices didn't align with how I imagined them in my head. This probably only suggests that I'm not the target audience. As I didn't finish the book, I did not post a public review.

Ive lost interest in greek focused books. I think Ive just read to many of them. Not this books fault. Its just a personal preference thing. I waited so long to review it in case I ever get back in the mood to finish it but after this long I doubt it will happen.

I enjoyed this book. It was a light and quick read, funny, sweet and had likeable enough characters. It isn't my favorite book out there, but it was fun. The Greek mythology kept me entertained. Chrys' (daughter of Hades and Persephone) adventures with her two male friends were entertaining to tag along on. However, I did find the interaction between the guys to be a bit annoying. Very typical male-ego-stuff.

I'd definitely read more books by Dani Hoots.

This has one of my favourite opening paragraph's of my recent reads and it shows the 'right' amount of sass what our main character Chrys has. The thing that I loved the most about this book has to be the change in perspective of the Hades/ Persephone story. Hades is always portrayed at the evil lord of the underworld, so I was surprised at the loving relationship between Chrys and her father. It was interesting to see the change in the family dynamic when Persephone came 'home'. Seeing Persephone from this new angle made me hate her character, before I always thought of her as a victim but in this book we get to see her as a cheating wife and spoilt Goddess, who wants what she wants and she wants it now.

We get to read some of this book from Huntley's point of view (POV) and you can just 'feel' the adoration for Chrys dripping from every thought. He really does his best to be a good friend and his interactions with Hades were interesting to read.

AJ is a bit of a strange character from the very start - some of his actions make sense after the 'big reveal' about his aims in life - and I would love to know more about his history. Especially any history between him and Chrys, there is a vague hint that something happened between them; were they good friends or was it something more?


I was surprised about the number of demi-god and other Greek mythological creatures Chrys 'stumbles' across during her travels. She of course manages to cause a major scene on Earth, however I could not have predicted how it is all resolved, but it left it on a evil cliff hanger!

Overall this book was enjoyable it was for the most part predictable, but it fun to read and interesting to see the Hades/Persephone story from a new perspective.
