At the conclusion of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy tumble into a pit leading straight to the Underworld. The other five demigods have to put aside their grief and follow Percy's instructions to find the mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through Gaea's forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors from both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape?
 
They have no choice. If the demigods don't succeed, Gaea's armies will never die. They have no time. In about a month, the Romans will march on Camp Half-Blood. The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths of Tartarus.
 
This paperback edition will include a never-before-seen short story, "The Crown of Ptolemy," in which Percy and Annabeth fight alongside Carter and Sadie Kane, and more bonus content!

The heroes, Percy Jackson Son of Poseidon, Annabeth Chase Daughter of Athena, Piper McLean Daughter of Venus, Jason Grace Son of Jupiter, Leo Valdez Son of Vulcan, Hazel Levesque Daughter of Pluto, Frank Zhang Son of Mars, Nico Di Angelo Son of Hades, Reyna Avila Ramirez Arellano Daughter of Bellona, and Coach (Gleeson) Hedge a Satyr, go on another quest to save the world and the demigods from being utterly destroyed. This might get a little weird though.

The House of Hades was the most action packed of them all, (so far) and included the most character development of them all. While Percy and Annabeth are making their way through Hell (literally and figuratively) the rest of the group is dealing with their own problems.

This the best book ever. Literally. This is the best book in the Percy Jackson series. I love Rick Riordan's book!

I just loved the way Rick Riordan described the House of Hades and always set the dramatic scene of how he handled the people who came to him. This was an amazing book.

The House Of Hades, I can do this. Before i start, let me just point out that this book was by Rick Riordan, and Percy is one of the main characters. *Lana faints* Okay, let's begin... The House Of Hades by Rick Riordan was a novel that I had fun reading. Just point out any novel by R.R, you'll have fun reading. Percy was once again an AMAZING main character. There's something about him that just makes you happy. Annabeth was awesome. I literally just want to be Annabeth when i grow up. ( He's a side character but).... Bob was cute. You don't expect a big monster to be this adorable. And I do have to mention Small Bob, now that was plain amazing. In all, well deserved. Five stars and a recommendation from yours truly, Lana. :)

This book is one of my favorites. It consists of a series and is awesome. It's about a boy named Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase that fall into the body of Tartarus where a bunch of other monsters live. Their friends in the normal world have to go to a door to let them out and they face many obstacles. Percy and Annabeth finally after lots of struggles get out and meet their friends.

The House of Hades is one of the books in Rick Riordan's book series, Percy Jackson. The House of Hades is about how Percy and Annabeth journey through the Underworld to defeat monsters and other mythologicaal creatures .

This novel based on Greek and Roman mythology and it is the fourth book in The Heroes of Olympus series. The book is really interesting with lots of action and it is very fast paced.

Best book for me because it has cool descriptive words which give you head a cool mental image of what's happening. This is why the books always sell, they always keep you entertained.
