After Midnight

After Midnight #1

by Brandy Greeley

When she refuses a marriage proposal from Prometheus, Persephone--goddess of spring--is cursed to forget who she is and where she comes from. Prometheus sends her to Portland, Oregon and Hades follows, convinced that he can somehow jog her memory and restore their love before it's too late.

But when the Fates realize that Hades' absence from the Underworld means that unsorted souls are becoming furies, they must take drastic action before the Underworld is torn apart by chaos.

Now known as Amy, Persephone doesn't know who this mysterious stranger is, and why he's butting into her life. And even though she doesn't want to believe the stories he tells her, because it would mean giving up the life she's built for herself in Portland, she's drawn to him.

Caught up in his world, Persephone is torn between breaking the curse, and returning to her family, or remaining in Portland forever as Amy.

Reviews

[Todd · Rating 5 out of 5]

After Midnight is an excellent debut work exploring the collision of Greek Gods and Goddesses with our modern world. The book centers around the romance of Hades and Persephone and the tension between who we are destined to be and who we choose to be.

[Brandy Greeley · Rating 4 out of 5]

This re-telling of the classic Hades and Persephone story is set in modern-day Portland and offers a fresh, new perspective on the world of the gods. Persephone, goddess of Spring, is cursed when she refuses to accept a marriage proposal from another god. She's sent without her memories to Portland, Oregon and Hades follows her there, convinced he can somehow get her to remember him, her life and their epic love before it's too late.
If this is your genre, I'd recommend giving it a shot.
