Thorn & Ash: A Hades and Persephone Romance

Written by R.L. Perez

Narrated by Krys Janae, Zachary Johnson, Vivienne LaRue and Walker Williams

A ghost, trapped by magic. A prince of Hell, burdened by secrets. A love that was never meant to be.

The day Mona died, she found her true life in the realm of the dead. She discovered her wild and seductive side. She learned the truth about her magic. And she fell in love with a dark prince.

Now, resurrected by the power of the Triple Goddess, Mona is ripped from her new life and returned to the land of the living. She seeks a treacherous path back to the Underworld to rescue her twin sister, Prue—and to return to the love she left behind. But in order to get there, she must sacrifice everything. Her life. Her soul.

Her memories.

When she returns to the Underworld and greets the prince of Hell who stole her heart, she no longer remembers who he is. Seeing him again reawakens her lost feelings, but she has a mission: find Prue. Can Mona reach her before the death magic claims Prue's soul? Or will Mona's heart be seduced by the dark prince once again?

Thorn & Ash is Book 2 of the Ivy & Bone series, a Hades and Persephone retelling with a twist, full of steamy romance, dark paranormal themes, and allusions to Greek mythology. Perfect for fans of Kingdom of the Wicked and A Touch of Darkness.

Reviews for Thorn & Ash

[Liz · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I appreciate the strong female characters and respect of their autonomy. However, I feel the climax of the book was lazy. It played on the stupid, naive girl trope when a bit more work and it could have been much better done. Sure, that fits Prue's character to a degree but it really felt disappointing and lazy. Up until then, it would have been a series I recommend.

Excellent! After listing to the first book in this series I immediately had to find this one and it did not disappoint! This book continues were the other left off and we find out what happens with Prue and Mona as they adventure in the underworld. Can't wait for the next book!
