Persephone's Problem - Blackwood, Samantha

. .

Résumé :
A wayward goddess with a problem and a surprise visit from a trio of divinely dangerous relatives disrupt Alex's plans for a quiet Crossroads Keeper's life. Persephone knew her affair with the Fae prince wasn't a good idea, but she's a sucker for a handsome face and polite manners. When the prince demands she use her divine powers to help him stage a royal coup, the goddess calls in a favor and dumps the brewing political mess in Alex's lap. Before Alex can deal with Persephone's problem, the Fates descend on the Crossroads to visit with their newest cousin. Alex soon learns that the magic she inherited from her divine ancestor, Chronos, is vastly more dangerous than anyone suspected ... even the gods. The Fates have orders to train Alex to control her newfound death magic before she kills someone ... or a lot of someones. If she survives her divine cousins' deadly training sessions, Alex will need to use every scrap of her abysmal diplomacy skills to referee Persephone's royal boyfriend problem. If she fails, there will be a bloody battle for the Fae throne that will endanger her heart family ... and everyone else in its path. Mythical Greek gods, quirky supernatural creatures, a newbie Crossroads Keeper, and a sassy, snarky ... and magical pink-eared poodle battle the forces of chaos in this urban fantasy series filled with adventure, humor, a smidge of romance, and new-found family ties....
