About this eBook
New immortals are being created for the first time in thousands of years thanks to the tree of immortality discovered by Persephone and Hades. But Sophie Darrow is not one of them. Nikolaos, the trickster, has given the last ripe immortality fruit to two others, the reincarnations of the gods Dionysos and Hekate: Tabitha and Zoe, currently Sophie's and Adrian's best friends.
While the disappointed Sophie struggles to remember Hekate and Dionysos from ancient Greece, she must still face her daily life as a mortal university freshman. Tabitha and Zoe have their own struggles as they come to terms with being newly immortal and their own haunting dreams of past lives and loves. The evil committed by Thanatos invades all of them in heartbreaking memories, and worse still, Sophie and her friends know their enemies are determined to kill again. And even the gods can't save everyone.
Molly Ringle's growing list of other successful titles include:
The Chrysomelia Stories
1. Persephone's Orchard
2. Underworld's Daughter
3. Immortal's Spring
The Goblins of Bellwater
All the Better Part of Me
Lava Red Feather Blue
Sage and King

So, I purchased the first book of this series, Persephones Orchard, and I was immediately hooked. The myth of Persephone has always been one of my favorites and I thought the author did a fantastic job of spinning the story in a completely original way. Naturally, I wanted to read the second book in the series, but worried I would not enjoy it as much as the first. I was wrong. Firstly, while there were many surprises in the second book that I relished, I was especially taken with Hekate's story. I love the way the use of Hekate's magic was conveyed in such a logical and natural way, it was like reading poetry to me. I found such joy in understanding how the elements were persuaded to bend at her will so I was always elated each time Hekate made use of her magic. I laughed out loud as she explained it to the other Gods as though it was as simple as breathing or talking and was baffled each time they didn't understand it as effortlessly. She was easily my favorite addition to this story despite my thorough enjoyment of the other immortals explored in this series. I'm getting ready to purchase the third book in the series now, which is funny considering I'd told myself I wouldn't spend more than my allotted budget and would only purchase one book this month, yet here I am getting ready to make a third purchase in two weeks. I can only hope we'll be given more clarity regarding Hermes' story as he's another of my favorites from both books thus far. Can this be a movie/television series now, please? K thanks, BYE!

About the author
Molly Ringle was one of the quiet, weird kids in school, and is now one of the quiet, weird writers of the world. She likes thinking up innovative romantic obstacles and mixing them with topics like Greek mythology, ghost stories, fairy tales, or regular-world scandalous gossip. She's into mild rainy climates, gardens, '80s new wave music, chocolate, tea, and perfume (or really anything that smells good). She has lived in the Pacific Northwest most of her life, aside from grad school in California and one work-abroad season in Edinburgh in the 1990s. Molly Ringle became fascinated with the colorful weirdness of the Greek myths when she was a kid, and after writing several other novels of love and the paranormal, she finally wrote the Persephone-and-Hades story that had been evolving in her head all those years. It turned into a three-book series, much to her own surprise (The Chrysomelia Stories). Molly currently lives in Seattle with her husband, kids, corgi, and a lot of moss. Her growing list of successful titles include:

2. Underworld's Daughter
3. Immortal's Spring
