Mary Persephone Hail Mary—well-wished-for child. Persephone—destruction. Hail—well that speaks for itself. Her name is painful to think about. Mary, his newfound daughter, isn’t a wished-for child. Persephone, though? Yeah, destruction is a fitting description. And Hail? Yeah, that’s just the final f-you. The moment that her mother drops her off on his doorstep, Dante’s hell becomes complete. Or so he thinks. What can make life worse after losing one’s wife and kids, you ask? Here’s what: being given a baby that depends on him for her survival. Finding out that the baby’s mother is dying of brain cancer, and has a husband that he never knew about. A husband that Dante knows in the marrow of his bones is trying to kill her just as surely as the cancer eating her brain. Dante’s a bad person. He’s done some not so nice things, and now he’s being punished for his misdeeds. Karma is finally catching up to him. This child that he’s been stuck with is of his flesh and bone. This child is his salvation. This child is the final nail in the coffin of his wife and daughters’ too short lives. He doesn’t want this child. But this child will save him whether he wants her to or not. With the help of a friend—yes, a woman friend—Dante finds his way back to life. But what he finds when he gets back isn’t the same life that he left behind. Turns out, he has to start living a new one. One where he's suddenly having feelings for a friend that helped him get through some tough times, and loving a daughter that won’t let him quit.

Review|3 stars
 
I had a few issues with Hail Mary. I wasn't crazy about the book, but I found that I did also like a few things in the book also.
 
There were a few things that I really enjoyed. Mary was one of them. I love babies in books. I think there just so cute and fun. Mary was adorable. I liked the fact that the author made Mary have Down syndrome. I think that if you have a problem with DS kids than your not much of a person at all. It's not like they chose to have DS or any type of disability. Loved how she wrapped everyone around her finger.
 
I also loved Dante's family. They were always there for him when he needed them most.
 
I didn't like how Dante said some horrible things and Cobie forgave him very easy. He didn't even have to grovel or anything. I wished she would have more of a backbone.
 
This just wasn't one of my favorites of LLV. And the whole dead spouse thing I didn't really like either, but I figured I'd give this book a shot. And I did.
 
Overall, Mary was cute, Cobie needed a backbone when it came to Dante, and Dante wasn't my favorite. Maybe this will be someone's favorite book of the series. I hope it is, but it wasn't mine.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 8, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
