The Phantom Paragrapher

Review: Hades and Persephone - Lee Savino and Stasia Black - July 2024 One of my favorite Greek myths is the story of Hades and Persephone as in a way it sort of resembles my own love story, as a Christian sheltered girl fell in love with a guy that was dark and mysterious and gothic. He was like my Hades and I was his Persephone. However, unlike this tale which was a dark romance, mine wasn't as terrible. In this book Persephone has escaped home and gotten a job in the city as a Nanny and life has been going great, that is until one night everything falls apart as she is hit on by her boss Paul, loses her job, and then a random guy tries to drug and kidnap her. After this ordeal, she meets Hades and he becomes her savior and the "perfect gentleman". Their relationship is a whirlwind one as he makes her feel like a princess and that he truly loves and adores her.  When he asks her to marry him, she accepts as she loves him with all her heart and believes he does the same.

Is everything alright? You were grumbling at your phone the other day when I walked into the elevator, too.” “Yeah, everything’s fine.
