About this ebook

Death had never been kissed, until now . . .

Thanatos meets seventeen-year-old Therese while she's in a coma hovering between the realm of the dead and the realm of dreams. A lucid dreamer, she takes control of her dream and kisses him, unaware that he is Death.

It was his first kiss. No one, in his long existence, has ever wanted to kiss Death.

After Therese awakens from her coma, Thanatos is desperate to find her. He makes a deal with Hades and goes to the Upperworld as a mortal to pursue her and to see where it might lead.

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.

*Formerly The Gatekeeper's Sons, this series has been edited so that the main character begins her journey at age seventeen.

"Even though I'm not in the target audience (I'm over 40 and can no longer be called a young adult!) I really enjoyed this book. I loved the story and the characters are believable and engaging.

"I really enjoyed this series...started with the first book and wanted to keep reading until I got to the end. It's a fun blend of mythological characters, paranormal, romance, adventure, and while I haven't been a young adult for a very long time, I still enjoyed reading this series. It is also one I can see myself reading again."

"Great plot and character development. Greek mythology blended with modern themes. Highly recommend."

--Lillian ★★★★★

 

"I really enjoyed reading this book! To me it was sort of a cross between Twilight and The Hunger Games with some wonderful Greek mythology thrown in for good measure! I actually learned something by reading this book and it actually peaked my curiosity into learning more about the Greek gods and goddesses. Looking forward to reading more in the series!"

--Robin E Casey ★★★★★

 

"I absolutely loved and enjoyed this book! Once I began reading, I was immediately hooked and wondered why I hadn't read it sooner, since I'd downloaded it quite some time ago. Loved it! The characters are believable, the plot moves quickly and keeps the reader engaged, and it is quite easy to become emotionally attached as the Therese, the main character, goes through so much."

--Dusty Rogers ★★★★★

Ratings and reviews

I love the way the author uses details to make the story much more realistic. It is a great book and I definitely recommend it. I love the plot of the story, I just can't describe the emotions I feel when I read this book. Definitely a must read for everyone. Also, just a question to throw out there, did anyone notice the author never mentions what religion Therese is? She could easily not be Greek, so... that kind of confuses me.

This book was an amazing book, but the ending made me cry. Other than that it's an overall amazing book. I recommend it to any Greek mythology fans. It gives you a new perspective about what their lives might be like if they were real. Thanks Eva Pohler! I can't wait to start the next book!

I'm really enjoying the book so far. It has really good storyline. But I need to note that the word disintegrated does not seem to be used in the right context. To understand what I mean check out the first page of chapter 23.
