review 1: Ok.....seriously?? Lauren Hanmond, do you just shit gold?! I really did not expect to like this book as much as I did. Clearly I have read other books by the author, and just reading the blurb from this one I really had my doubts. I was very pleasently surprised. I liked the mix of modern and mythology. I enjoyed hearing Hades and Persephone's story. It was neat to see a different side to the, pretty much ultimate bad boy. I just hope the second book comes out soon! I would love to read more of this series!!!!
review 2: Oh wow....What happened? I read Insanity and White Walls and just LOVED them...then I picked this up...and I can't finish it. I only got to the part where Persephone finally comes into the book to explain Hades voice in her dream...Yeah, a
... morend I am done.So, here's the thing. Persephone and Demeter have been running for thousands of years...but she's only 17? Then it explains that he comes for her every 17 years...but she is still only 17. I just can't get past this. It's impossible for me. Could you imagine being immortal and stuck at 17 or what ever for eternity?...But not only that, you're stuck with your mother, answering to her, relying on her to cuddle and shelter you from the real world. And from what I understood she goes to school? And had been going to school long before this instance in the story, as one of the stories from 'before' mentioned she was at school while Demeter was attacked by Hades. Fuck that.I just couldn't do it. I am worried to read any other books by you. I think I might just finish the Asylum series and call it good. This was incredibly disappointing. less
