Title- Daughter of the Earth and Sky
Series- Daughters of Zeus Book # 2
By-Kaitlin Bevis
Genre-YA Paranormal

Blurb-
Some vows can never be broken.

Persephone thought she could go back to her normal life after returning from the Underworld. She was wrong.

The goddess Aphrodite is born among the waves with more charm than she can control. Zeus is stalking Persephone and her loved ones, and Thanatos is no longer content with Persephone's silence.

He wants her soul.

Persephone can't tell anyone about Thanatos' betrayal, and it drives a wedge between her and Hades. Her mother is still keeping secrets, and Melissa's jealousy of Aphrodite threatens to tear their friendship apart.

Alone, Persephone turns to a human boy for comfort. But will their relationship put him in danger?

Sacrifices must be made, and Persephone must choose between her human life and her responsibilities as a goddess. If she doesn't, she could lose them both.

But will either life be worth choosing once Zeus is through with her?

Title- The Iron Queen
Series- The Daughters of Zeus Book # 3
By- Kaitlin Bevis
Genre- YA Paranormal

Blurb-
Life is hell for Persephone. Zeus will stop at nothing to gain access to the living realm and the Underworld, and as the only living god with a right to both, Persephone’s in trouble. Captured and tortured beyond the limits of her resolve, Persephone must find the power to stand against Zeus. But will she be strong enough?

Meanwhile, Hades contemplates desperate measures to rescue his queen. Persephone never thought of herself as dangerous, but there’s a reason gods never marry for love. A being with the power to destroy all of creation shouldn’t place more value in one individual than the rest of the planet. But Hades...Hades would break the world for her.

To save the world and stop both Hades and Zeus, Persephone must make a difficult choice. One that may cost her everything.

CHARACTER BIO: HADES


Hades has been around for a long time. He's a major deity that rules a third of creation. His third is the Underworld, but that doesn't make him a bad guy. He cares very deeply about the residents of his realm and goes out of his way to make them comfortable. His advisors (mostly Cassandra)  routinely tease him about his collection of self-help and "psycho-babble" books. He's kind and fair to the gods in his realm, but  of course, he does have a dark side Needless to say, he's nothing like Persephone expected based on the myths.

  Speaking of Persephone, he didn't kidnap her, he saved her from Boreas, and made it very clear she was free to come and go from the Underworld as she pleased, though leaving during the winter would probably be a bad idea. The longer the two get to know each other, the more Hades grows to care about Persephone, but those feelings leave him very conflicted. She's much younger than he is, and since he's saved her life a few times he worries that any move on his part would be taking advantage.

BOOK REVIEW: Persephone (Daughters of Zeus #1) by Kaitlin Bevis

Goodreads description:

The “talk” was bad enough, but how many teens get told that they’re a goddess? When her mom tells her, Persephone is sure her mother has lost her mind. It isn’t until Boreas, the god of winter, tries to abduct her that she realizes her mother was telling the truth.

Mary's review:

I was given this book by the author for an honest review.  This book had me at Persephone!  I am a HUGE Greek-Myth-Nerd! I have been for years and I LOVED book!!

Best part of book:  This book caught me at page 1! I love Kaitlin Bevis' take on Hades and Persephone.  In this book Persephone is a teenage girl, who has not come into her powers yet.  She doesn't even know that she is a Goddess yet!! But, when she is attacked, Hades comes and saves her and marks her as his bride. I loved that part!  Oh, I just loved how descriptive Kaitlin Bevis was about the Underworld.  On top of that, I LOVED Hades.  Ok, ok maybe you should not love the God of the Underworld, but Kaitlin Bevis put a different perceptive on him and the world itself.  Kind of made me wonder if I was wrong about Hades all these years!  He was more than just a God and his love and compassion for Persephone was unwavering.

Not so great about the book:  I can't really say anything was "no great" about the book.  It held my interest the whole time.  There was action, love and mystery.  There was "dragging" parts that made the story "too much".  I loved all the characters and it was GREAT!

I am so glad I have book 2 in my hands .. right now!
