review 1: Very good. Different approach to Greek Mythology, namely Hades and Persephone's supposed love story. Good background, thorough world-building and nice research all combined into a lovely criminal mystery and romance. Not exactly what I expected when I grabbed it but I am immensely satisfied. Both Hades and Ti surprised me completely with the complexness of their lives and personalties and it was a real treat. Add a good HEA and it ended perfectly.
review 2: So, so clever. Angel Martinez takes Greek mythology and gives it her own special twist in her new novella, Canines, Crosshairs and Corpses. From the humorous nuances she builds into her main character, Hades, to the tender yet broken figure of the homeless man, Tiberius, the author weaves a story that deli... moreghtfully draws you into its subtle wit and budding romance.This novella joins a murder mystery with a quick lesson in mythology and wraps it all up in a tender love story. Along the way, we capture glimpses of well known figures such as Hermes, Dionysus, Hestia, and Persephone, to name a few. However, other than Hades, the most humorous character would have to be Charon, the boatsman of the Underworld. And his job, topside on earth? Undertaker, of course. This story had me grinning, guffawing and every once in a while, sighing sweetly, as it all unfolded on the page. Underneath this deceptively simplistic mythological lesson was a deeper understanding of how we learn to love, and, in doing so, freely give up ourselves to care for another, placing their needs above our own.I enjoyed this book immensely. It surprised me with its whimsy and its depth. less
