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 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.

Ok, so the description of the book makes it sound bad. Like one of those bad Paranormal Romance novels you can get at The Dollar General for a buck, but I decided to give it a try. Who knows it might be good! I believe this was a good freebie on Amazon!
The cover doesn't look the greatest,but you can't judge the book by it's cover.
Therese is a 15 year old girl whose parents just died in a car accident. As she being pulled from the car everything goes dark. As she "wakes up" she realizes something isn't right. She soon meets Hypnos or Hip and he explains he is the god of Dreams. As Hip gives Therese a tour of The Underworld. As she is walking around she sees her parents in a boat with Charon and Thanatos (Than) the god of Death. She magically teleports down there. Yeah I don't understand that.

Annnyway, she goes down there. She doesn't realizes she is dying in the "real" world. I don't know what to call it. As she starts to die Than catches her. In her state of delirum, I guess, she tells Than that he is lovely and kisses him.
Yes, she kisses the god of death....She soon wakes up after being in a coma for a week and tries to go on with her life. After a couple of weeks, Therese goes and sees her friend Jen. Jen's family owns a ranch and they offered her a job. She takes it and realizes the other guy they hired looks a lot like the guy Than in her "dream".
Thanatos the god of Death has one of the worst jobs ever. Sure he is immortal,but what is the point when all you do is guide dead souls to The Underworld. Than didn't know what he was missing until Therese comes to the Underworld and kisses him. That was the first time someone has gave him any kind of affection since he was a baby.
He soon asks his father to allow him to take a wife to keep him company in the Underworld. Hades understands his need for companionship. I mean come on Hades kidnapped his wife Persephone. Since her understands, he allows Than to become mortal for forty days to go find a wife.
This may seem stalkerish ,but come on. The guy is kind of weird. He is death. He watches Therese and soon get a job at her friend Jen's ranch and tries to become her friend. Their friendship grows and she falls in love him.
I really do like this story,but I have issues with her being flippin' fifteen years old. What kind of aunt lets her fifteen year old niece go out and spend the day with a guy that looks eighteen years old?
I mean seriously. I get that you want her to be happy,but she is fifteen. You don't let her go out alllll day with a guy that looks eighteen. Sorry,but it would have been better if she were older. I just had to forget her age and pretend she was older.
I really liked this story and can't wait to read the next one. I am rating this book....
