Thank you to Trista Mateer, Central Avenue Publishing, and Netgalley for a free advanced reader copy of "Persephone Made Me Do It" for an honest review.

I have unabashedly loved, raved, and passed out copies of Trista Mateer's 'Myth & Magik' series. This book is the third in the collection, and I continue to be as blown away by this one as both of the ones before it.

I love the pieces written from the goddesses' point of view. I was absolutely gobsmacked by the choice not to name Hades ever, because this is her book/her story/her trauma/her life/her healing/her regain of power and very much not his. I loved the parallels we saw with the author and her own life, mother, loves, lostness, and climbing out of the darkness. The across the book also left me in such awe, ripe and riveting with the color, the images, and the words.
