I really thought this book was sweet. 
 In the beginning, Kate's thoughts and feelings seemed very appropriate for a girl dealing with the type of grief she was. She was acting the way I would imagine myself to act. 
 The transition from her time in Eden to her time at the manor seemed rather abrupt, and she handled it differently than I would expect. Her thoughts and feeling during that time were pretty muddled and I thought they could have been handled a little differently. 
 My biggest problem with this story was that the relationship between Henry and Kate left me with a bit of that...ick factor. You know? I think it was due to the fact that Henry was not only REALLY old (as was expected considering he's Hades) but he also ACTED that old. I understand that this is probably a pretty realistic way for a who knows how old guy to act--even if he does look 20, it just gave me a bit if the ickies while reading. I never pictured him as a 20 year old man, but more like a 40 or 50 year old, so...yeah. 
 But Henry was so, so sweet and you couldn't help falling for him regardless. I was able to push aside my ick feelings enough to root for them. 
 I can't say what happened in the end was much of a surprise. I had guessed most of that to begin with--including Ava and Kate's mom. But that didn't deter me from enjoying the read. I'd read a sequel if there was going to be one (is there? I have no clue.)
