"If you love Greek mythology and young adult books, this series is a perfect choice!" - Jess at Such A Novel Idea"What a powerful whirlwind end to this section of the series! . . . . There's so much heartbreak in this book. So much emotion. A great book!" - Reader's DialogueHis love could destroy their world. Life is hell for Persephone. Zeus will stop at nothing to gain access to the living realm and the Underworld. As the only living god with a right to both, Persephone's in trouble. Captured and tortured beyond the limits of her resolve, Persephone must find the power to stand against Zeus. But will she be strong enough? Meanwhile, Hades contemplates desperate measures to rescue his queen. Persephone never thought of herself as dangerous, but there's a reason gods never marry for love. A being with the power to destroy all of creation shouldn't place more value in one individual than the rest of the planet. But Hades . . . Hades would break the world for her. To save the world and stop both Hades and Zeus, Persephone must make a difficult choice. One that may cost her everything. Kaitlin Bevis spent her childhood curled up with a book and a pen. If the ending didn't agree with her, she rewrote it. Because she's always wanted to be a writer, she spent high school and college learning everything she could to achieve that goal. After graduating college with a BFA and Masters in English, Kaitlin went on to write The Daughters of Zeus series. kaitlinbevis.com

As much as I loved the ending to this series, I was left feeling like the relationship between Hades and Persephone didn’t move forward for for either of them to finally say, yes, they had that kind of love for one another. Zeus has planted doubts, serious doubts, in both of their minds (right up until the end) but these two just went about their lives and that was that. I know his is going to arc off into Aphrodite and Adonis, but I just feel like Persephone and Hades’ story is incomplete, given everything that happened to and around them. Maybe that was the author’s grand plan and we’ll get more in Aphrodite’s book, but I was left a little disappointed.
