Wow. Just wow. I now see Persephone as a two-timing slut, Henry/Hades as a lonely 'man' looking for someone who can live long enough to love him, and I've just been proved right once again, that you never trust the nice girl. This was such a good book. It was sad reading about Kate basically watching her mom suffer and die, but Henry stepped in and kind of saved the day... for a price. He was inching towards my 'douchebag list' when it seemed like he couldn't get over his feelings for Persephone for most of the book, but he got it together and realized Kate wasn't going to break his heart like that other heifer. From around 80% on was just... omg... so good. So many surprises and mysteries solved and an HEA. I'm cautious to read book 2 because it has the makings of a love triangle and I try to avoid those with a 10ft. pole when possible.
