I love this writer's spin on fairy tales. This one is no exception as she embellished the greek gods mythology and gave us such an engaging, original and fun fantasy. I love the characters. It is such a brilliant idea to have the Lord of the Underworld, such a mystical, brooding and seemingly forbidden god, as the protagonist. Tiberius, a homeless man and an alcoholic, a victim of circumstances, but this young man never lost his genuineness, humane and warm side. Charon, the ferryman of hades, so faithful and loyal is the perfect sidekick for our god of hades. And of course the dogs and the various gods and goddesses in the beginnng part of the story, who are such a hoot. The plot is very refreshing. What roles or jobs could each ancient god embrace while living as a human in the contemporary world? Such fun to find out. Hades working as a private investigator is so fitting and of course provide the mystery and magical elements in the plot. I enjoy the blossoming romance between Hades and Tiberius and the last part, when they have to prove their love is great. So much fun reading this.
