Hades and Persephone have always been my favorite of the Greek myths, so I wasn’t sure whether I would love this book or hate it. I loved it…Stephannie Beman takes the story of Persephone and Hades and adds enough twists to make it new and bring out the underlying passion I always felt was hiding beneath the myth…In short, all I have to say is that if Hades came thundering towards me on a chariot, I most certainly wouldn’t argue ;) Read the whole review

“I liked the secret admirer part of the book and how they first met, especially in light of the fact that she’s never seen a man. Persephone, however, is only naive and young on the surface. The truth is, she has secrets hidden in her past–secrets she doesn’t remember…As the story unfolds, we are given pieces to the puzzle until the end, which is a lot of fun as I played the guessing game. Read the whole review

“This is NOT your grandfather’s Hades. In “My Lord Hades,” debut novelist Stephannie Beman breathes fresh new life into a very old story. Her twists and additions to the myth of Hades and Persephone are imaginative, intricate, and rich.” Read the whole review

Stephannie Beman has taken that fable and breathed new life into it. Beman has told the story in a way that is much more believable and gives a human side to Hades and a strong edge to Persephone. No longer is this a story of two dimensional creatures that are either good or bad but rather one of complex individuals who live, feel and breath magic…My Lord Hades is a very enjoyable read that will transport the reader to the depths of the Underworld and the heights of Olympus.
