About the book

In this powerful, passionate reimagining of the Persephone myth for fans of Lore Olympus and Melissa Albert, two former best friends--split apart by betrayal--find themselves reunited in the Underworld. But will either one make it out, or will the darkness that's growing in each of them consume them whole?

For all of Corey's life, it's been Bree and Corey, Corey and Bree. Best friends, the girls are inseparable--until a devastating betrayal leaves Corey shattered and alone. Corey is sure nothing could hurt more, until Bree suddenly dies. Now Corey is heartbroken and furious. How can she mourn her one-time friend when she is still so angry at her?

Yet Corey and Bree's tale is far from finished. When Corey accidentally catches a glimpse of Bree's spirit passing into the afterlife, she finds herself face to face with a god pulled from the darkest myths of her girlhood: Hades, lord of the dead.

Turns out, the legends are real. But Hades is different from what Corey imagined--and so are the Furies, terrifying and beautiful creatures who encourage Corey to embrace her rage. The more Corey discovers about the Underworld, the more her own power stirs. But can she resist the lure of the darkness within?

    Klasse Buch! Das Ende hat mir nicht ganz gefallen, aber das gibt den 5 Sternen keinen Abzug. Die Darstellung des Zorns, der Emotionen- klasse! Absolutes Highlight.

    Konnte mich leider nicht so überzeugen. Konnte keine Verbindung zu den Charakteren herstellen. Schade.

    I absolutely loved the writing style. It was just beautiful, Melinda Salisbury really knows her way with words. It took a long while for me to get into this book though. And I really thought I was not going to like it because I read other people’s reviews. And then I kind of didn’t at first because there was nothing really happening. I mean the beginning of the book was still kind of interesting but then when I thought I was really getting good it was kind of rushed but also stretched at the same time. For a long time nothing much happened. Although that part had good parts too because the scenery was described very well and Corey’s feelings too. The end was what really caught my attention though because then the book got really good. I loved how it played out and it was honestly just an emotional roller coaster. We got answers and really saw how Corey’s character developed during the story which I loved. It was a bit sad that we didn’t get all questions answered and personally I was a bit disappointed with how rarely Hades was mentioned or actually present in the story. However I did love how he was overall portrayed.All in all, it was a good story that was well written and had a very good character development. Personally I would’ve loved a bit more romance but I loved how it focused on Corey’s growth and working through her trauma, anger and sadness.
