Colette Rhodes

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

A HADES AND PERSEPHONE RETELLING For Kore's entire life, her mother only ever wanted two things from her: 1. Swear an oath of virginity (to protect her from marriage) 2. Never show the world how much power she really possessed (to protect her from marriage) Despite Demeter’s attempts to keep Kore as far away from Olympus and its capricious gods who might want her for their own, there was nothing in this world or any other that could have kept Kore hidden from Hades. As for Kore, the more time she spends in the underworld, the more she realizes how alone and misunderstood its ruler truly is. With her heart and all of humanity on the line, will Kore embrace her former life as The Maiden, or a future as the Bringer of Destruction? Dead of Spring is a standalone Hades and Persephone retelling suitable for readers aged 18+

    I struggle with slow burn because I just love getting to the juicy romantic bits. because of this, I found myself getting frustrated a few times. I had to keep reminding myself of the very real situation and feelings that went into the dynamic between the characters and once I was able to do that it was such an enjoyable read I finished it in three days while doing my first days back at uni.
