This was one of those books, you know, the one that's been on your to-read list for forever and it keeps on getting pushed aside. 
 I'm so glad I finally made myself read this because it actually was a really well- written story. I've always been interested in Greek mythology and this "adaption" (I guess) was really very good. 
 (I didn't really like the romance as much but it was still enjoyable so don't let that stop you.) 
 I'd give it about 3.5 maybe four stars :) 
 Have a read, if you like Hades and Persophone.... (well aspects of it.)
