As tension mounts in Hades' Den, Marya finds keeping her past a secret the least of her worries . . .
Can Marya survive the growing conflict or will she cave and face her past?

This was a fun and quick read. If you like mythology you will definitely enjoy it.
My only complaint would be the ending to this book. I would have liked to have some more closure. it felt a little abrupt of an ending.
Anyways i thoroughly enjoyed the fact that the author used common everyday verbiage rather than making it too literary or too heavy on the big vocab words.

"Borders" is a dystopian story that details the cultures of two nations: one where too much freedom has led to a state of chaos and the other where liberty has been sacrificed to maintain order. In the middle is Hades' Den, an area fenced off from both sides where a collection of wayward souls gather. The journey of not only the main character through this Limbo, but of the others makes the reader contemplate the matters of freedom and peace from various perspectives, drawing more questions than answers. The social message isn't the only attraction of the book. The plotline itself revolves around well-developed characters and their mysterious pasts and paths. It's all around intriguing and a very good read.
