This was a really unique story. I thought it took a real twist from the typical young adult books. Great storytelling with a terrific pace. The major event of the book had me on edge for the whole end of the book.

Here's the set-up:
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.
One Reviewer Notes:
I have always loved Greek mythology but this book has given me an even more profound love of it as well as my one true love, books. This story has everything in it hope, despair, joy, sadness, depth and meaning. True love and loss are so amazingly written in this that I could actually feel them while reading. There is so much detail and emotion in this book I could picture it all clearly in my mind, I could feel the emotions from sadness (which I will admit I cried), anxiety, joy, humor (I laughed out loud), and excitement. I can not wait to find out what happens next. I love Than by the way.....sexy in my mind, Death yet life in truth. Therese and her love of nature and animals connects too well with me to explain. Oh I could go on and on about this book, but I'm to eager to start the next. Thank you so much Eva you are so talented and I can't wait till the whole world knows your name and your stories!

Here’s the set-up:
Set in a small Cotswold town, Inspector Hobbes and the Blood is a fast-paced comedy crime fantasy about the adventures of Andy, an incompetent reporter, when he is reluctantly working with Inspector Hobbes, a police detective with a reputation. Andy soon finds himself immersed in a world where not everyone is human, and a late-night visit to a churchyard nearly results in grave consequences, and a ghoulish outcome. An accidental fire leads to Andy having to doss in Hobbes’s spare room. Contending with a wave of murder, suicide and robbery, as well as Hobbes’s weirdness, is the just the start; he must also get to grips with Mrs Goodfellow, Hobbes’s housekeeper, who collects teeth. Although they are mostly from humans, she also claims to have some vampire specimens. However, Andy soon finds her wonderful cooking compensates for her eccentricities.

Since she never did find the story she was looking for all those years ago, she decided to write it.
