Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of paranormal or fantasy fiction, but I enjoyed this one for the most part. I liked that the author gave each god or goddess or "other" creature a personality based on who they are or what purpose they have in Greek Mythology. The character elements attributed to Thanatos, dark god of death, seemed to ring true given his duties. He was dark, and brooding, impetuous, and a bit tempramental I'd say, but hot nonetheless.Simone on the other hand was not a character that I really identified with, as she came off as weak and naive, though gutsy to attend a ball in another state alone. Together they were cute, and I enjoyed Thanatos' discussion with his brother Hypnos regarding how to date a human woman...it was funny! All in all this was a solid and fascinating read. Simply put the writing was well done, and the idea to put everyday people in situations with gods and goddesses, that are apparently all around us, was interesting. Pick this story up, and be sure to check out Hypnos' story, Bound, as well.
