I was pleasantly surprised by this! When I read the First Look I thought it sounded interesting but I had my doubts because my first experience with Katharine and Elizabeth Corr was with 'A Throne of Swans' and I didn't really enjoy that at all. But this was fantastic.
Deina is a soul-severer. Bound against her will to the House of Hades, she's trying to work off her indenture and earn her freedom. So when Orpheus the Tyrant offers her a chance to do one task for him and be free, she takes it. But she soon realises that every task comes with a cost, and this is one that she might not be willing to pay...
This was really well-written. Fast-paced, action packed, and full of twists and turns. The story was interesting and well-thought-out. The one thing I would say is that I didn't love the relationship between Deina and Theron. I just didn't buy it at all, and didn't care for the way it was left either. This book does set itself up for a sequel, and I'll definitely be picking it up!
