“in every life, we will be together, our paths destined to cross with the prayers that we will find one another or else our fates will not be complete.”

one thing about hades and persephone retellings is that i will eat them up every. single. time. this was the first book i read by willow winters, and i am so happily surprised by how much i enjoyed it. 

persephone’s battle with her waning powers is real to me on a whole different level, especially because of the twist near the end. when i figured out why and how her powers were fading, my jaw was on the floor. i was equally surprised and not surprised given who was involved, but oh my gods i can’t wait to see what happens next. 

hades, as per, needed a big hug (i’m so serious) because he doesn’t know what to do with his scary emotions or where to put them. he spent so much time watching persephone and obsessing over her that he was becoming dangerous (more so than usual) all because he wanted to protect persephone. big man definitely needs a little therapy but we love him anyway!

will absolutely be reading more by this author soon! thank you so much to wildfire marketing solutions and willow winters for the e-arc!
