There are worse things than death, worse people too.

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. Hades rescues
her, and in order to safely bring Persephone to the Underworld he marks her as
his bride. But Boreas will stop at nothing to get Persephone. Despite her
growing feelings for Hades, Persephone wants to return to the living realm.
Persephone must find a way to defeat Boreas and reclaim her life.

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.

Persephone
Favorite Lines “Is this a god thing?” I asked, growing
annoyed. “Talking about people like they aren’t standing right there?”
“Life isn’t fair! Why should death be any different?”
“Did you ever stop and wonder if maybe that attitude is
why the gods are dead?” I asked. “People don’t believe in gods because they
can’t wrap their minds around the idea of someone allowing all the terrible
things in the world to happen.”
“Reality has teeth and claws. It’s rarely pretty and
never fair. Haven’t you figured that out yet?”
“I’m in love with you. I’ve been in love with you since
the moment I laid eyes on you in the clearing…” He trailed off, looking to the
side as if he could see me there. My mind flashed back to the picture in his
dream and my eyes widened. “You’re beautiful, and kind, and everything I could
ever want, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re eons younger than me.
However much I’d like it to. Pursuing this in any way would be taking advantage
of you, and I’m not going to do that.”
What a great start to this series! Yummy Hades is OMG
yummy! I can't imagine the shock that Persephone is going through! To know your
whole life has been a lie! That your going to become immortal. That your mom is
is a Goddess! That your father is Zeus! I devoured this book!
Daughter of the Earth and Sky
Favorite Lines “After everything he did to you, you still
couldn’t bring yourself to kill Thanatos.”
“So you had to kill one of your best friends? If I wasn’t
so weak, I would have done it.”
“That’s not weak. That’s strong. Stronger than you know.
It’s easy to give into vengeance.”
“How many times had I rolled my eyes when I’d heard
others say those words? But we did belong together. Ever since that first kiss
in the clearing. We’d given each other a part of ourselves, and that could
never be undone.”
These 2 belong together! Hades and Persephone are both so
hard headed! Both so head strong! It's literally them against the world! It's
like they are against themselves too!
Iron Queen
Favorite Lines “Apparently on top of all my other
charming flaws I’m over-possessive. Who knew?”
“You’re overstepping. We don’t need you to protect us
from Zeus. We don’t need you at all. If Zeus thinks he can take down the human
race, he’s going to have another thing coming.”
“It meant something to her because I gave it to her. I
meant something to her.”
“It didn’t take strength to kill someone. It took fear.
Fear and the knowledge he would come back, that nothing and no one in my life
would be safe so long as he walked the earth.”
Whoa! This series rocked! It had everything needed to
make a story amazing!
Great story lines, plots, drama, made me laugh, made me
cry, and the Gods and Goddess that I love to read about!
Hades is my new favorite God! He is so much more than King
of the Underworld! He's a emotional, feeling, funny, amazingly sexy god!
Persephone this girl has been through hell since she
found out she is actually a Goddess, her parents are Zeus and Demeter! She
wasn't born she was made. She can make plants bloom and now she's the Queen of
the Underworld! She has been kidnapped, beat, she's killed, she's been
glamored, she's been taken advantage of in ways no person should have to go
through! She's handled it lies a Queen though! She really has. In the end she has
lost so much but also gained so much more! I devoured this series in 24 hrs and
I am praying there will be more!
If you want a series that rocks your world then The
Daughter of Zeus is the series for you!
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review

FIVE UNDERWORLD FAIRIES
Gods and Goddess
1) Persephone, obviously I've got a special place in my
heart for the Goddess of Spring. Her myth was the first one I learned as a
child and her story stuck with me until I could make it my own.
2) Hades. The
sarcastic, funny Hades from Disney's Hercules resonated with me and I've always
kind of wondered if maybe there was more to Hades.
3) Aphrodite. I always felt like Aphrodite gets kind of a
bad wrap today because she was pretty and she got around. But what god didn't?
It seems like in every modern depiction of mythology Aphrodite is a ditzy slut
that's also pretty mean while Zeus and Poseidon are held up as
"Serious" and somehow get written as good guys? They were serial
rapists. Aphrodite's only crime was being pretty. By all accounts she was
actually pretty clever, and yeah, she got around, just like every male god in
the pantheon.
4) Artemis. Artemis
was a kick-butt goddess. She was strong, she knew what she wanted, and she
wasn't afraid to do whatever it took to get it.
5) Demeter. The way I wrote Demeter did her a disservice.
She was a fantastic mother who was literally willing to move heaven and earth
to get to her daughter. She stood up to Zeus and cut him where it hurts, which
unfortunately were people...who all starved and died.
6) Hestia. Hestia didn't get involved with much of the drama
of Olympus, so she's easy to forget, but she was one of the few Greek gods that
did more good than harm.
7) Ares. Ares is one of the only male gods that not only did
not make a hat of raping women, but he actively hunted rapists down and
slaughtered them. He doesn't get featured in many myths, and in most of the
myths he's in he's gettng the crap beat out of him by Athena, but he always
came off as not that bright, but very enthusiastic. He also really seemed to
care for Aphrodite regardless of what it cost him.
8) Athena. I love that the goddess of wisdom in an ancient
culture was a woman. I wish she'd been a little less spiteful, but I really appreciate
that Greek mythology created intelligent, strong, multifaceted women who had
all kinds of strengths and flaws, and held them up as goddesses.
9) Triton. My version of him anyway, he doesn't make many
appearances in mythology.
10) Eris. Eris is the goddess of discord and is essentially
Malificent from Sleeping Beauty. She got mad she wasn't invited to a party, so
she caused the Trojan War in a very clever, manipulative way. Sorry, it's
awful, but it's also kind of cool that one pissed off individual had the
ability to cause a war that lasted ten years, destroyed an entire civilization,
scattered two major heroes to the wind, and got the gods themselves to fight a
battle one another. Bet she never missed another party.
