King of Shadows by Amelia Wilde

Review by Leah I mean who does not love a story with Hades and Persephone in it? Amelia Wilde took their story as twisted as it is, I mean technically he is her uncle, and wrapped it up in a silky black bow. The build-up in King of Shadows is perfection. And could Hades be any more sinister? I mean yummy? I mean dark and deadly? Hades is written true to character in my opinion. He is not a bachelor looking for the next hookup. He is the ruler of the underworld. He is The King of Shadows. Amelia Wilde can write a book and it is like she picks you up and puts you right into her books. Each scene, each chapter you are standing right in that room as she directs this film that is going on in your head. From the home Persophone grew up in with her mother, to the looming mountain that is standing in the background. Her writing even makes the mountain a character in the book. No, it does not talk and it is not a “character” but it is right there in the background, dark and brooding. The only thing left is I need Summer Queen, pronto! Amelia, you got on that train and you left us at the station. **ARC provided for honest review**
