Synopsis
The “talk” was bad enough, but how many teens get told that they’re a goddess? When her mom tells her, Persephone is sure her mother has lost her mind. It isn’t until Boreas, the god of winter, tries to abduct her that she realizes her mother was telling the truth. Hades rescues her, and in order to safely bring Persephone to the Underworld he marks her as his bride. But Boreas will stop at nothing to get Persephone. Despite her growing feelings for Hades, Persephone wants to return to the living realm. Persephone must find a way to defeat Boreas and reclaim her life.

Review
I liked the way this story takes you to explore the possiblity of life after death and how a living person how has to adapt to a lot of changes in a small time frames coups with it. Persephone is great at adapting under all the pressure that is giving to her during the book but also we see her grow and mature around this story.
The thing that really bothered me was that the author over exploited the cuts in scenes where somethings was going to be revealed by putting and accident or someone interrupting the scene, it just didn't feel natural that all those interruptions took place.
Another part that I liked was that I could really geek off with the mythology, while growing up I spent a lot of time reading myths and legends and it's books like this that make me feel like all the time I invested on reading those types as story's as a kid really pays off.
The chemistry between Persephone and Hades was good, but with characters with the personality's those two have makes me feel there was still some unexplored territory and that is really a shame.
