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)
