Synopsis: Persephone is dying and Vic will do everything in her power to save her mother from the poison that seeps through her immortal veins. Even if it means losing the person she hopes to become.

Desperate to save his wife, Hades sends his daughter to the Above World to reap the souls of the living. What he does not count on is that she will meet a boy who could possibly be the unraveling of the Olympians.

Callum Bishop is new to Olympia—just trying to make it through senior year—when he meets the enigmatic Victoriana Haden. Soon he finds himself learning of the world embedded within his own and the secrets that it holds which could rock the mortal world to its core.



I thought this book was highly imaginative and creative. It had the feel of a grown-up Percy Jackson but with some twists. I feel that the plot was unique and surprising, the character development was great, and the overall pacing of the book was on point. Even when I thought the book was going to stall out and die, it surprised me and twisted in a way I wasn't expecting.



However, I feel like the POV shifts could have been better defined and I feel that the book was a tad confusing in places. I had to reread some lines in order to fully get what was going on.



Verdict: An excellent retelling that any Greek Mythology lover would greatly enjoy!
