SPOILER ALERT** This is a book that I started with great expectations and enthusiasm. It took me several chapters to get into the first book, and then I was hooked! I cried a few times, a sure sign that it is a great story. The second book started expanding on the plot and characters, and I couldn't wait to figure out what happened next. I got to the third book. My heart broke with disappointment. The story and plotline is all over the place, the characters are hard to follow, and the chapter where Hades explains to Percy and Beltain what happened made absolutely no sense to me. He spent so much time describing in way too much detail his sexual encounter with Persephone that it just put me off completely. Was that really necessary? I enjoy reading a good romance and am certainly no prude, but how is the fact that he had sex and orgasms that lasted months have to do with saving the world?
I'm sorry to say I had to put the book down without finishing. I am no longer interested in knowing the end because the story no longer matters. ( )

he Cobweb Bride trilogy. The first was a freebie; the others were a bit more. An interesting read although the quality slipped somewhat in the second and third volumes. Sort of a historical urban fantasy but started sliding into a paranormal romance (without the smutty bits). Also, some of the writing was a little uneven; this may be because English was not originally her mother tongue.
