Her anxiety could be better dealt with if she just spoke with Hades about her worries. My only negative feedback is that Persephone seems to be coming upon personal roadblocks that she creates.

Her character is changing in a direction that I feel is natural for the storyline. Her different traumas are explored realistically, and I love that none of it was just swept under the rug afterward. She has real friendships and it's so rare with books like these, especially when the love interest is shown to have power and have control issues. I love that the author shows her relationships with other men aren't saddled with baggage or one of the men crushing on her. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows-a love that is both captivating and forbidden.I read the first three thinking it was a completed series, and come to find out, I have to wait a whole year before the next book! I'm really excited to see how much further Persephone's powers grow and how her relationship with Hades continues to bloom. The bet does more than expose Persephone's failure as a goddess, however. But nothing has ever intrigued him as much as the goddess offering him a bargain he can't resist.Īfter her encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead, and his terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible. All of that changes when she sits down in a forbidden nightclub to play a hand of cards with a hypnotic and mysterious stranger. After moving to New Athens, she hoped to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist.

Since she was a little girl, flowers have only shriveled at her touch. Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only. "You will worship me, and I won't even have to order you." His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it. She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. Clair comes a dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth.
