My thoughts on the series: The first time I read the summary for these books, I admit I immediately dismissed them as being another cheesy teen romance series. Readers will fall in love with one of the most famous Greek myths, darkly re-imagined, and now more charming and powerful than ever. But even after escaping the underworld, Pierce realizes she will never be able to escape the dark forces that threaten her - or John himself. Pierce is only fifteen when she dies and is swept away by the powerful, mysterious, yet undeniably handsome John Hayden.
