This is an interesting twist on the Persephone tale from Greek mythology; I did enjoy the liberties that Salisbury took with the myth to make it her own. If you're familiar with Greek mythology, you will see the influences throughout the story and honestly, I think it will make you appreciate it more.
The main thing that didn't make me absolutely love this is I don't think there's a whole lot of character development. Corey does a not so great thing, but then doesn't seem to learn anything from it. I didn't see a lot of growth in her character, and while yeah, what her best friend did wasn't great, did it mean she should die because of it? Definitely not.
Also, the narrator of the audiobook had an Irish accent, but I'm pretty sure Australia was mentioned at one point in the book, so I'm not sure what was up with that. All in all, if you enjoy Greek myth inspired things and don't mind not a lot of character development, this might be for you!
