If you haven't read the Bloodstone Saga, stop go buy it and then read The House of Thebes, Trust me! Harmonia and Cadamus' love is undeniable and reading this novella just solidifies that fact. I was really sad to see their story come to and end and thought it was a happy one, I was thrilled with the fact that their beginning was going to be told. There's previews of their past lives but Courtney Cole left the actually first initial meeting out,now I see why! Maybe it was planned, and  maybe it wasn't, I'm just glad she saw that the readers missed Harmonia and Cadamus as much as she probably did as well and graced us with their amazing beginning. It was nothing short of fantastic and left me more in awe of the love they share. It bestowed a greater sense of understanding of the love they felt and urgency they always seemed to have about them.The House of Thebes begins with Harmonia talking about her life in the Underworld with her daughter and Cadamus. She briefly talks about the trials she had to face to be where she is now and feels the need to tell how it began. So she does just that. It starts when Harmonia first lays eyes on Cadamus and how he is in his last leg of his servitude to Harmonia's father Aries. Their secret meetings and their falling in love to Cadamus being released and then to ruling as King and Queen of Thebes. It ends with Harmonia telling us about life, love, and promises.I'm going to end this with my favorite quote of the book that's the perfect example of what I think Harmonia is trying to get across to all of us, life."Life us not a promise of constant bliss. Life is a chance. A chance to love, to try, to fail and to try again. Life is about living. If there is any message that you can take from my story, I hope its that."-HarmoniaSo lets just do exactly that. Live life, read books, and try try try again!
