A Touch of Ruin (Hades & Persephone #2) by Scarlett St. Clair - Starting August 26th 2020

[Anna 'Bookbuyer']

Persephone’s relationship with Hades has gone public and the resulting media storm disrupts her normal life and threatens to expose her as the Goddess of Spring.

Hades, God of the Dead, is burdened by a hellish past that everyone’s eager to expose in an effort to warn Persephone away.

Things only get worse when a horrible tragedy leaves Persephone’s heart in ruin and Hades refusing to help. Desperate, she takes matters into her own hands, striking bargains with severe consequences.

Faced with a side of Hades she never knew and crushing loss, Persephone wonders if she can truly become Hades’ queen.

(view spoiler)[ Persephone is honestly acting like a child right now. I understand she wants to keep the relationship hidden to be normal but she isn't. She has to accept she is a Goddess and dating a God. She has to accept who she is. Just like Lexa said, if she came out, her word would probably be more credible than just a new journalist. Persephone seems to want to have a cake and eat it too. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I know the author is trying to portray as someone who wants to defy the gods because they don't suffer consequences, but she comes off as a bratty teenager. She's having tantrums and making stupid decisions. It's really sad that Lexa is going to die but that's life. :/ (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Jeez, Persephone made a bargain with Apollo to 'save' Lexa but she was happier being in the Underworld. And Apollo saying that he held Hyacinth while he was dying was sad. :( (hide spoiler)]

For my last post and this one... I've had a few drinks so I hope everything sounds clear lol.

Think I'm a little more clear-headed now lol

Finished
(view spoiler)[ When Persephone nearly ripped the Underworld in half, and the kidnapping scene was a little too quick. I wish they spent more time on it. It's cute they got engaged, and the memorial for Lexa was adorable. But now someone declared war? I'm interested to see what's going to happen. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ 3 scorned lovers, wine and a laptop why do i get the feeling that this article is going to be bad lol. I think Hades is right and she's going to get the God's attention and not in a good way. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ She is dense about the bad parts of life and even though she's a goddess she should know that not everything is rosy. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Persephone i really self centered in this one. it has to be her way only. She's demanding off everyone and if she's not getting her way she's using her magic or being destructive in some way. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Well I really don't like Persephone. She's just not right. I liked the story line and how even the golden gods have a dark side. The fact that Hades was so patient with Persephone was nice. I didn't really get the stalker part. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I only remember because it was the last two paragraphs. I think at that point, you were happy to finally be done with the book lol (hide spoiler)]

[Mummy's Naughty Corner]

I think your right. She was just so ewww. If Hades was like that it would be so bad but she's supposed to be his gentle kind person who changes Hades not the other way around.
