SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP 😩

I’m so mad that I got so invested in this series only for book 3 to end on the biggest cliffhanger ever WTF 

this one had it all, I was living for it the entire time! the romance and spicy scenes, the mystery, the drama of the olympians, the internal battle between mortals and immortals, the plot twists - all friggin top tier!!!

but the AUDACITY to end this one where it was, without knowing the fate (lol) of all of our favorite characters, was so rude 😭 I need answers!!!!!!!

this one is probably tied with the first novel for my favorite. so much unfolded in this one that it just worked so perfectly 🤌🏼

peresphone’s world is growing (again, lol), and I loved getting to meet so many of the infamous faces of olympia. I mean, how can you match zeus and poseidon in their dickish ways? 

for me, this series works so well because of the traditional characters blended with a semi-modern world. it touches upon real problems and characteristics of our world with adding a mythological twist, of course.

I will die on this hill that this is the best peresphone x hades retelling yet 🖤
