Thanatos by Eva Pohler

Rating: WARTY!

"While in a coma, Therese falls for Thanatos, the handsome god of death. When she wakes up, she learns that he’s crossed into the mortal realm to be with her. But can he and a host of other Greek gods help her avenge her parents’ murders?" Who gives a shit? None of this takes place in Greece. It's been culturally appropriated into the USA because fuck Greece, right? No story can have any value whatsoever unless it's set in the USA or unless at the very least it has a USA main character driving it. Barf. Therese isn't even a greek name. It's Spanish! Yeah, there's a claim that it may have originated from a Greek word, but nowhere does it appear until 4th century Spain. Neither is the Greek god's name THanatos per se. It's more like Tanatos with a hint of an 'H'. So this is a non-starter and really just retreaded Rick Riordan for adults. Yawn.
