Fan-favorite author Bree Despain continues her modern-day romance trilogy inspired by the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades with this second book in her Into the Dark series. Haden Lord, the disgraced Prince of the Underrealm, has chosen love over honor and will do everything in his power to protect Daphne Raines, the human girl he was supposed to bring to the Underrealm. Haden's choice is put to the test as the Skylords and a figure from his past arrive in Olympus Hills with a plan that could destroy all of the realms. Embracing her destiny as the Cypher, Daphne begins to understand the immense power of her musical ability to control the elements, but she must come to terms with her feelings for Haden and what she must sacrifice in order to protect him and her friends. Believing the Key of Hades is the only thing that can stop the Underrealm Court from releasing the monstrous Keres on the mortal world, Haden, Daphne, and their friends set out to find the Key before Persephone's Gate opens again on the spring equinox.

      Gr 9 Up-This modern adaptation of the Persephone and Hades myth continues to hit all the right notes. After choosing his love for Daphne over his family honor and the survival of the Underrealm, Haden, along with Daphne and friends, must uncover the Eternity Key. Rich world-building and a swoon-worthy romance will thrill fans of mythology-based sagas and will keep readers anticipating the conclusion.

      Teen lovers get entangled in more myths, music and mysteries in this Stygian sequel.Unwilling to deliver Daphne Raines to the Underrealm to be a Boon bride and breeder, Haden Lord instead joins forces with her to find the lost Key of Hades. While muddling through a millennia-old mystery, testing their magical powers and combating their raging teen hormones, Daphne and Haden must also watch out for Underlords and Skylords who seek the Key for their own genocidal purposes. Hoping to redeem himself (and prevent world annihilation), Haden recruits his second-class brother, Garrick, and disgraced friend, Dax, while Daphne enlists her ex-alcoholic, deal-with-the-devil rock-star father, Joe, and classmates Lexie and Tobin. Drama of the Greek, family and high school varieties abounds. Already reworking the Persephone myth, the teens act in an Orpheus-and-Eurydice rock opera and even veer into Eros-and-Psyche territory. Flawed father figures, political coups and dating drama provide additional fodder for Daphne's and Haden's continual angst. Despite sharing narrative duties, Haden, Daphne and Tobin remain shallow and stereotypical teen protagonists. Despain offers notes of romance, adventure, mystery and rich-and-famous fantasy, but the flat characters, myth mishmash and telegraphed plot twists result in a slog instead of a song. A discordant soap-opera sequel filling time until the finale. (Fantasy. 12-18)
