Nothing interesting - I found it by an accident, I was just searching through the internet when I was bored.

As the veil between our worlds separated, my heart leapt to my throat. Would she see my world as beautiful? Or would it scare her as it should?

4.5 stars.

As beautiful, lyrical and short this scene was, I don't know whether I will try the books themselves. It's an odd thought to have. But I really enjoy Haden's POV, a refreshing break from all the female YA POV we get these days. However it is rather short but it is good enough to present to us a particular feel to the narrative.

Unfortunately this isn't the same narrative that the actual books would have, I imagine.

I guess I'll keep on dreaming of Haden's world through this particular scene for now, until I find myself picking up the actual book(s).

Hope that should not be born and desire that could never fruit. That’s what we were. The pain and the longing were only just beginning for us both. I smiled at her then, deciding she’d had enough of my world for one night.

I liked the scene from Haden's point of view. I enjoyed getting to see a piece of his mind that I didn't get to see before. My major problem was that it was way too short. It was so short in fact, that I didn't really get to have any feelings toward it because it was over too soon.

Nice Little snippet from Haden's point of view. Didn't mind just wish for a little bit more.

It's always nice to get the point of view from the other main character. He seems smoking hot! And he has an awesome, old school charm that is completely adorable. Wish this was longer!!! Or wish it had more scenes with his point of view!

Well, it's a really quick read. You'd have to read Falling Under to get where this is going though. It's just a retell of Theia's first dream trip to Under which is told in Hades's POV. It's quite simple and direct but interesting to see that he is a little taken aback by Theia.

This was just a super short story of Haden's perspective from the first time Theia met him in Under. It didn't really add much to the story as I was hoping, but it was interesting none the less. It was cute to find out that he fussed about his clothes and the whole setup though.

Glad to get a little more of Haden. I want more :)

Interesting. Though it is really too short.

It's been a while since I read 'Falling Under' but reading Haden's point of view captivated me just as much. I need to get my hands on the sequel!

I liked reading the scene from Haden's point of view, because it allowed me to see into his mind and know what he was thinking. That way I can get to know him better!

[Shraddha · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautiful. Just beautiful. And so completely unfair that Theia has to be the one.

[Nivashini · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was nice but too short. I need more from Haden's POV

[Candy Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

I need more from Haden!

[Rachel · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a nice little scene and I wish I could have had more.

[Karla · Rating 3 out of 5]

Considering it was just one chapter it was ok it didn't really do much but I got to see what Haden was thinking when he saw her in her dreams.

[Drishi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very cute. And hot. Loved it.

[Shay · Rating 3 out of 5]

The only reason I rated it so was because of the short length. I loved Falling Under and Dreaming Awake, so this was just a little look into Haden's head from those amazing books.

[Kreiden · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very short Haden’s point of view, about Theia’s first arrival--under her dreams when she first saw Haden. I wish it could’ve been longer!!! But I really love how Haden’s behave like a real gentleman. Such a dream boy <3
