#BookReview: Persephone's Curse by Katrina Leno

Synopsis: The Hazel Wood meets Laini Taylor in this gorgeous speculative tale of sisterhood, ghosts and old family curses.

Are the four Farthing sisters really descended from Persephone? This is what their aunt has always told that the women in their family can trace their lineage right back to the Goddess of the Dead. And maybe she's right, because the Farthing girls do have a ghost in the attic of their Manhattan brownstone —a kind and gentle ghost named Henry, who only they can see.

When one of the sisters falls in love with the ghost, and another banishes him to the Underworld, the sisters are faced with even bigger questions about who they are. If they really are related to Persephone, and they really are a bit magic, then perhaps it’s up to them to save Henry, to save the world, and to save each other.

My Review:
This was an interesting take on the Persephone myth, and I really liked the focus on the sisters and their relationship with each other. The ghost and family curse elements were also fun. That said, I felt like the story was a little slow at times and I never became as invested in it as I wanted to be. It wasn’t a bad read, but it just didn’t completely click for me.
