Fifteen-year-old Therese watches her parents die. While in a coma, she meets the twin sons of Hades — Hypnos (the god of sleep) and Thanatos (the god of death). She thinks she’s manipulating a dream, not kissing the god of death and totally rocking his world.
Than makes a deal with Hades and goes as a mortal to the Upperworld to try and win Therese’s heart, but not all the gods are happy. Some … happy. Some give her gifts. Others try to kill her.
The deal requires Therese to avenge the death of her parents. With the help of Than’s fierce and exotic sisters, the Furies, she finds herself in an arena face to face with the murderer, and only one will survive.

This book (and series) takes a fresh look at Greek mythology and how immortals might interact with mortals here on Earth. Fun!
I absolutely love this series!! I’ve read every book more than once. Start here and work your way to Charon’s Quest coming soon.

I listened to the audiobook and I felt like the narrator sounded a little too old to be the voice of the main character. The MC is 15 yrs old and she sounded much older. The narrator was okay.
While I did enjoy the story there were some wording that left me wishing that the author would have worded it differently. …
Great retelling of Greek mythology. Hard to keep in mind that the protagonist is a 15yo girl though.
Not quite as good as the prequel The Gatekeeper’s Bride, and was a little disappointed as I read that one first. Perhaps had my expectations too high. This is a teen romance after all. Shares elements and has the feel of Twilight. Do recommend. I am currently reading the next book in the series.
For the love of Olympus.
