This is a good book. Well-written. Does include graphic and explicit sex.

A retelling of the classical myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. The author has a good understanding of classical mythology and doesn't go about changing everything to fit her own needs. The story stays true to the underlying theme of the original and the characters seem true enough to themselves to complete the storyline.

Though, a short novel, more a novella, there is plenty of action and storyline - this does not read as though rushed or truncated.

Overall, a nice quick, sexy read!
