ADDITIONAL PRAISE:

'HADES ... Look for it. Doubtless it will be another winner, ' New York Journal of Books

'Adornetto's dialogue feels fresh and real ... If it were not for young adult readers like her, the YA boom never would have happened and publishing would be much gloomier, ' New York Times Book Review

I found this slow going especially the second half. There was a lot of watching and I just did not find the Jake thing convincing.I would have given it 2 1/2 but goodreads does not do 1/2 stars.
