Hades in battle was PERFECT! I want more of that..

Also 90% of Hades & Persephone problems would be solved if they stopped keeping stuff from each other …. I also wish Hades had told her about what trials he was doing because of Hera. 
Oh yeah, Hera ain’t for the girls. She’s horrible!!!!!!!

95% of this book I wanted to throw Persephone against the wall and tell her to get off her high horse… she was getting on me nerve with her everything needs to go her way or nothin!!

Also the miscommunication was driving me mad!!! Honestly, Hades and her needed to have a looooong sit down and just talk. No sex. Just talk.
But don’t get me wrong, the makeup sex these two keep having because they were always arguing was on point !!
Looking forward with her friendship with Apollo as well… weirdly

If Hades had a choice, he would 100% never leave Persephone's side and fuck her 24\7, 7 days a week for 365 days a year. His man was horny as hell for his woman lol

Perfect!

I dont know. It was interesting but the black magic part and how she understand it was confusing since I aint smart with mathematic like that lol the ending was weird and Im 100% honest I dont know what happened......
Also it didnt come off as a "gothic story" for me..

It was ...... blah.
It could have been better but how everything developed. I wasnt a fan. Didnt like the ending as well just because a innocent man is going to jail for a 'pedo' choices instead of actually outing everything.. plus its ends like open-ended I guess.. makes you think...

There are a lot of things that irritated me but at the same time I get where she is coming from since I too lost my mom... the whole thing was just a horrible experience.
BUT further into the story you get the big picture and finding out the truth and I honestly have to say... both her parents aren't good people.

Also, I wouldn't have forgave that boy. That was a shit situation all together. But the ending was sweet.
