Callypso Lillis is a siren with a very big problem, one that stretches up her arm and far into her past. For the last seven years she's been collecting a bracelet of black beads up her wrist, magical IOUs for favors she's received. Only death or repayment will fulfill the obligations. Only then will the beads disappear. Everyone knows that if you need a favor, you go to the Bargainer to make it happen. He's a man who can get you anything you want...at a price. And everyone knows that sooner or later he always collects. But for one client, he's never asked for repayment. Not until now.

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

I’m trapped in actual hell. And just about everything here is trying to kill me. Even the god who claims he once loved me has come pretty close to ending my life. But things are about to change. I’m fed up of being Persephone - human underdog in the Hades Trials. I’ve managed to awaken a little bit of the goddess inside me, and now I have power, I’m not afraid to use it. Although I don’t actually have a clue how to.

okay
the goodness of spring was too childish in this book, her attitude was aggravating most of the book but did get better towards the end. the couple never saw eye to eye on anything. I enjoyed the book though. if you read the first one, I would definitely read this one as well. curious to see what the third book will bring.

Storyline
The main character was whiny. She killed the story for me. I am just very disappointed in this follow up in this series. I had such high hope because of how we ending the first book. I thought she was already empowerment. She made so many selfish and stupid choices because she is scared of something she doesn't understand and doesn't take time to understand. Her actor completely changed.

Meh, I totally agree with some of the other review
I really loved the first book, so wasn't really put off by the poor reviews. I didn't feel as strongly as some, and think its good enough to past time on a commute, but the plot was a bit disappointing. Persephone does seem to go running to Hecate every other chapter, and she is a little intolerable (but not enough to make me stop listening). One of the main plot lines took me by surprise. It just felt so random and I feel it will ruin the third book...if you listen you will get what I'm talking about. One thing I did love was Hermes, his character is fantastic and really shines in this book. One bug bear, and I don't know where the blame lies, but the driver Anthony changes between a cyclops and ogre in every other chapter. Its just annoying that this detail wasn't picked up. There were a few other little mistakes as well. Overall I liked it enough that I will look forward to the final book.

Great story line, even better story telling
The book was well written, of course the raunchy bits were great but so is the love aspect too. I hope there’s going to be more as I just binge listened to both books in this series and can’t wait! The narrator made this audio book for me, she so perfectly feels what the characters are feeling which entangles you more in the story.
