REVIEW
What I Liked:The world created in A Touch of Darkness is an interesting mismash of modern society with the Greek Pantheon alive and interfering in the lives of mortals.
What I Didn't Really Like:I can see why some readers aren't really a fan of Persephone. Her backstory has her in isolation for the first 18 years of her life, so she is naive to the extreme and a little more rules by emotions than the typical person.
Overall:I think this will be more enjoyable for a reader looking for a spicy fantasy romance rather than a true officianado of Greek Mythology.
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)
Heat Index: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 (4/5)
