Genres: Paranormal, Young Adult
After escaping the Skylords,
Haden, Daphne, and their friends decide to try to find the Key of Hades on
their own before Persephone's Gate opens again on the spring equinox. They
think they can use the Key as leverage to stop the Court from coming after
Daphne, and stop them from releasing the Keres on the mortal world. Once in
Olympus Hills, Haden and Daphne find themselves with some hiccups in their
plan. Haden's twin brother, Rowan, reveals himself to have been following
Haden's entire mission, and the Skylords have sent a group of their own to
enroll at Olympus Hills High to spy on Haden and Daphne.
As the spring equinox looms, the
gang finds an unlikely ally in one of the Skylords who helps them devise a plan
for getting the Key and using it to destroy the Keres before they can break
free from the Pit and devour the world. In order to fulfill the plan, Daphne
must enter the Underrealm with the Key. Unfortunately, because of the oath
Haden made to never bring Daphne back there, he is unable to accompany Daphne.
Reluctantly, he agrees to let Garrick and Tobin take her through Persephone's
Gate, while he and the Skylord wait for them on the other side.
Separated in two different
worlds, but still linked by destiny, Haden and Daphne must race against time to
keep the Keres from revolting and keep themselves-and their love-alive.
My Thoughts
So I’m not too thrilled about the cover change. Don’t get me
wrong, book one’s cover wasn’t all that wonderful to me, but this design isn’t
either. At least the story was good. I’ll probably wait until this comes out in
paperback to buy it though. That way my series will match.
What book are you waiting for this Wednesday?
I really like the new covers. The old one seemed pretty generic. I got the first book from NetGalley, so I don't own a copy. I'll definitely be buying a paperback that will match the new hardcover. I normally don't like cover changes, but this one works for me. Here's my WoW
