to give up one to be happily ever after in the other?
My Rant:
I completely adored these novellas of The world among Us. The characters were so easy to connect to and
the story line was captivating. Elise
was an interesting character. Through her talents of journalism she bought to
us the story of the underworld through her fascinating interviews with especially
with Hades and Damien. The plot begins with the assassin. My heart completely
was floored when he told his version of the story to Elise. I felt sorry for
him because throughout all of this he was manipulated into killing his best
friend and no matter the regret he is feeling he cannot undo what has already
been done.
Book two picks up with Elise being assigned to get hades
part of the story. It was interesting to see how the underworld kept tabs on
the mortal’s world and knew exactly when to intervene to make these connections
happen. Elise was one brave cookie to take on the interview with Hades. I loved
her because she knew just how and when to push the button of the individual to
draw out hidden emotions. Although at
times she should have been terrified and that is an understatement because she
was, Elise continued to press on. Her bravery and dedication completely made
this story interesting. It is not east to enter into the world of the devil and
walk away and live to tell the story about it.
Book three takes you right into Damien story. My heart is
breaking…. I loved Damien and I think he was just the character to completely
capture your heart. It was sad when he told Elise and Abby his story. The
horrible things his father made him so was unspeakable how you could treat your
child that way. Damien story alone gave
me the courage to want to smack the taste out of Hades mouth to get him to realize
he needed to be a better father to his only son. (sniffle).
Book four completely put every things from the other books
into perspective and completely left me unhappy. I could not get more form the
story and I have to wait until the other books come out. Ugh. Even though these
were short novellas the author completely submersed me into the story. I want
to and need to know more. I need to know
how this is going to turn out. Just by reading these 4 books I have a feeling
that the author has something special up her sleeve that she is not willing to
release yet and all these incidents in this story have a purpose and I can’t
wait for it all to be revealed. Literally I can’t wait. Ms. Beth please release
the next book soon…….
