This is Book 2 of the A Touch of Darkness Series, first book in the Hades Saga. I like how similar Hades’ thoughts are to Persephone’s in their conjoined scenes. Compared to A Touch of Darkness, Persephone seems more bold and confident here. I also like how Hecate and Hermes show up more! Hecate is the mother both Persephone and Hades needed.

I read persys pov first wasn’t aware hades pov existed but it was neat to see things from his perspective I enjoyed it but it the books did feel like repeats. Persys story was more intriguing to me but there was so much detail in this one it’s difficult to wrap my mind around everything that’s happening beginning to end.
