Persephone was graduating school and had this fantastic intern job as a journalist, carving her own way in the world away from her mother. She’s rebellious & intelligent, but it wasn’t enough. A more established journalist than one barely out of school. While I’m not against journalist Persephone, I think I would have preferred her to be older. I never really thought about what Persephone would do for a career in the real world. I wasn’t a big fan of her mild-mannered reporter – Clark Kent vibes. It’s very much a ‘ What if we still worshiped the Greek Gods of Old in the New World today‘ – mixing Greek mythology elements into our world. I can appreciate the world that she is building.

The writing wasn’t anything to start yelling from rooftops about. ![]() I started with A Touch of Darkness, book one in the Hades & Persephone series. Like I said in my blog post, all I saw was that this was a retelling of Hades and Persephone. I went into these books with no expectations and no real idea what they were about.
