It wasn’t until I was a sophomore in high school that I realized that a lot of information that they gave us kids was pretty wrong, such as Hera, the “mother” of Hercules is definitely untrue. When I was younger, I already had a growing obsession on Ancient Egypt and its mythology, but my only source to learn more about Greek mythology was the Disney version. I mean, I don’t regret it one bit because it was everything that I wanted it to be and more, so obviously after I get done writing this review, I’m diving deep into the second book! A part of me feels bad but yet I was thrilled seeing on KU that I just gave in and didn’t bother to look back. You also have to remember that I already had a small stack of books to keep me afloat for a while but I chose to get this one instead.

I just kind of saw the cover on YouTube and was like, “oh, you are gorgeous! Gimme!” and really felt the need to get it. I didn’t really know what the series was about before putting it on my Kindle. As she struggles to sow the seeds of her freedom, love for the God of the Dead grows-and it’s forbidden. The bet does more than expose Persephone’s failure as a Goddess, however. Hades, God of the Dead, has built a gambling empire in the mortal world and his favorite bets are rumored to be impossible.Īfter a chance encounter with Hades, Persephone finds herself in a contract with the God of the Dead and the terms are impossible: Persephone must create life in the Underworld or lose her freedom forever. After moving to New Athens, she hopes to lead an unassuming life disguised as a mortal journalist. The truth is, since she was a little girl, flowers have shriveled at her touch.

Persephone is the Goddess of Spring by title only.
