review 1: I don't know why there is a hype about this. I couldn't even finish it. The writing is terrible. The characters unrealistic and unlikable and the complete story is out of whack. Phones in other dimensions???!?!? Was this not researched at all. Texts and calls work because of PHONE TOWERS, not radio frequencies and would absolutely NOT work in another dimension. And since when do those from the underworld have smart phones anyway. The whole plot is unrealistic and unbelievable. There is no scientific evidence to back up a single statement that is made. You can create supernatural beings but you can't defy the laws of physics without a pretty good excuse, another thing this lacked. The main characters were naive and unrealistic. Aiden behaved more like a child than anything ... moreelse. And Sophie was completely naive and (honestly) dumb. She believed everything she was told even though it made no sense. It was like reading the dreams of a child. I received this for a review and could not find a redeeming quality to write about to help this book out.
review 2: I love this book! I have so much fun reading books about mythology. This one being about Persephone and Hades was the best!It starts when Sophie is kidnapped but ends up being taken to another dimension. There she meets Adrian. He's sexy and mysterious. He tells her that there are secrets about them but can't yet explain them to her. "You have to discover the answers on your own." Finally, memories begin, she dreams of all her past lives until she remembers her first. Sophie and Adrian were originally Persephone and Hades. Adrian confesses he's immortal and wants Sophie to become immortal too. Yes, he has a way to make it happen. He wants them to live together, forever like they were meant to. But there are people out there that don't want them to live. They believe that to be immortal is the greatest sin and they want to kill them.There are SO many things I loved about this book! The love story between Sophie & Adrian. Their underworld adventures. Them wondering if they were going to be found out. And the other mythological 'greats', like, Zeus, Posiden, Athena & more, also had their part in this story! I recommend this book to everyone that loves mythology, excitement and romance. I can't wait for the next book in this series!I give this 5 Sexy Hades Stars!! less

Very good until about half way through the book. The last 40% of the book just seemed to drag on.
