Chronicle To Books Persephone (Daughters of Zeus #1)
Daughters of Zeus, Book OneOne day Persephone is an ordinary high school junior working at her mom’s flower shop in Athens, Georgia. The next she’s fighting off Boreas, the brutal god of Winter, and learning that she’s a bonafide goddess—a rare daughter of the now-dead Zeus. Her goddess mom whisks her off to the Underworld to hide until Spring.
There she finds herself under the protection of handsome Hades, the god of the dead, and she’s automatically married to him. It’s the only way he can keep her safe. Older, wiser, and far more powerful than she, Hades isn’t interested in becoming her lover, at least not anytime soon. But every time he rescues her from another of Zeus’s schemes, they fall in love a little more. Will Hades ever admit his feelings for her?
Can she escape the grasp of her powerful dad’s minions? The Underworld is a very cool place, but is it worth giving up her life in the realm of the living? Her goddess powers are developing some serious, kick-butt potential. She’s going to fight back.

Rating: 3 1/2 starsI took my own sweet time reading this book simply because I could. The best part of this book is the world building. Also the remaking of Greek gods, goddess and persons associated, such as Helen of Troy. Persephone is only 16, true, but she is also a whiny annoying cry-baby. I got sick of her constant pity parties. When the mean girls at the school weren't picking on her, then the meanies in the Underworld were being mean, or Hades was the worst meanie of them all to her.
I was given this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.Persephone by Kaitlin Bevis is one of the most refreshing indie books that I've read in a while. It stars Persephone, unsurprisingly, who believes that she is just any other 16 year old girl until she finds out that she is actually a goddess! If you have read Greek myths at all, you will recognize characters from Hades to Charon. My favorites include Thanathos, Cassandra, and Helen. Persephone gets attacked by a fellow with
Everyone secretly wished they were special. But in all my dreams of discovering I was a superhero, or a witch, or maybe even a princess, Id never gone as far as goddess.*takes a deep breath* THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST HADES PERSEPHONE RETELLINGS I'VE EVER READ.Persephone is a normal teenage girl that that loves plants, has a supportive best friend and a loving mother. But Boreas, the God of Winter wants her, so Hades takes her to the Underworld for her protection.Persephone is just so... perfect.
Review posted at Ja čitam, a ti?You've all heard about ancient myths, yeah I did to. I've heard about them a lot but about Persephone I haven't heard of before. So I should start this with thank you note, cause today I've learned something new and I'm grateful for that. I, as a real geek, did my research so it took me by surprise how the author did really good job by creating the story out of it. Just so you know the myth has some similarities but here the story fits better in out time. Here the
PersephoneOne of my favorite things to read is a modern day telling of an old story or myth and Persephone by Kaitlin Bevis did not disappoint me. Persephone is living in the modern day world with her Mother attending school, working, and oh yeah, being stalked by some kind of mystical force. Time isnt on her side and if that wasnt enough Persephone has absolutely no inkling of who or what she truly is.I love, love, love that Persephone is a teenage goddess, well technically she doesnt even know
I really enjoyed this read. It was an interesting and refreshing take on Greek mythology. I thought the characters were great. Their interactions with one another was really interesting to see. I thought the book was a bit slow at some part, but overall the book as a whole was really good. My favourite character was Hades. He had this charm about him. He was the most interesting and complex character. I can't wait to read the second book. I hope the series gets better and better. Overall, a
