St. Clair continues Persephone and Hade's story in A Touch of Ruin. The story does jump forward slightly from where the first novel left off and skips a scene where Persephone and Hades accidentally announce their relationship to the world. It is a scene that I would have enjoyed reading rather than just seeing the after-effects from the next day. Most of this book is about Hades and Persephone working on their relationship with several miscommunications between the two, but overall is still the sweet romance from the first book. I give the book 4 stars
