“We crossed that bridge tonight, and there's no going back. You and me, we're endgame.”

Eurydice is ready to take back control of her life after the trauma she endured at the hands of her ex Orpheus. She's tired of being viewed as the victim in her family and is ready to move forward. Charon has always been Hades' right hand man and his loyalty has always been to the lower city but thinks it's time to take something for himself for once and he has his eyes set on the youngest of Demeter's daughters. Can he break through her barriers and heartache for her to want him back? Orpheus was traumatized himself the night he broke Eurydice's heart and will do anything to win her back, even if that means he has to share her with the one who put her back together. 

This was one of my least favorites in this series. I'm not sure entirely what it was about this one, but I just couldn't manage to feel any connection to the characters. It's still solid for the overall series plot and I enjoyed seeing the story progress. I have a really hard time with the "second chance" trope in general and this was a huge hang up for me in this one. I can't even fathom why anyone would consider a second chance after what he did which I think deterred my connection to the characters.
