Hi! Do you have any recommendation for any good Hades and Persephone books that are cleaner? I started A Touch of Darkness and it was definitely too much spice for me but I read A Thief of Spring which was perfect! Do you have any recommendations that are closer to The Thief of Spring?

I admit that it was merely out of a selfish desire to discover who you were. It’s as I’ve told you already—I’ve spent the entirety of my existence waiting for you. Waiting for someone I can talk to. Someone I can feel. When I realized that was you… I needed to know who you were.

“Solo me ha entrenado los últimos ocho años. Me eligió para esto, comandante. Usted me eligió a mí y eligió a Xander, y si cree que he cambiado de la noche a la mañana, que me he transformado en una criatura sin moral ni sentimientos, entonces tampoco es el hombre que yo creía que era.”

I squeezed the phone. “Where are you now?” “I still can’t say. I’m sorry.” “Can you at least tell me what you see?” I asked. Sam took a moment to answer.“Fields. Endless fields.”

I close my eyes and take in a deep breath. I don’t have to think long because I already know the answer. “I wish you were here,” I say. “I wish you were lying right next to me. I wish I could look over and see you smiling back. I wish I could run a hand through your hair, and know you’re real. I wish we could finish school and graduate together. So we can finally leave this place like we always planned, and find an apartment somewhere, and figure out the rest of our lives together so I don’t have to do it alone. I wish you were alive again … and I wish I had picked up the phone that night, so that all this would be different, and everything would go back to before…”

“But nothing could prepare me for the pain of watching my child suffer. I held her when she puked from the chemo. I wrapped her in blankets when she was so cold she was crying. I kissed her forehead like she was my baby again, because she was forever my baby”
