Thanatos
(Guardians of Hades #8)
by Felicity Heaton
Thanatos, god of death, has a mission: scour the unknown realms of the Underworld and retrieve the only daughter of his god-king, Hades. Murdered six centuries ago and her soul captured before it could pass on, she now falls under Thanatos’s domain. Armed with only a description of the location of her prison seen in a vision by her oldest brother, Thanatos has spent four years hunting for her, determined to complete his task and save her.
But when he locates Calindria, she’s not the delicate little girl he remembers—she’s a fierce, bewitching and beautiful warrioress who stirs unwanted feelings in his black heart and she’s on a mission of her own.
Calindria, daughter of Hades, has a mission: escape her prison, hunt down the ones who murdered her twin brother, and then make her family pay for abandoning her. But the Fates have other plans, placing a distractingly gorgeous god of death in her path—a warrior who is determined to convince her that what she believed is the truth is in fact a lie.
In a realm that turns memories against them and where anything can be an illusion, can Calindria and Thanatos learn to trust each other enough to work together to escape the hellish domain, or will the darkest moments of their past prove too powerful to overcome?
My Review
We've had the boy's stories now it's time for Calindria, daughter of Hades!
Assumed dead and bitter for being left, she wants revenge - not surprising really after hundreds of years locked away! Enter Thanatos, he has been sent to find the lost daughter of Hades.
Who to start with.... Calindria, she is quite well balanced for being captive for so long, she's all grown up in body but I felt she needed to grow emotionally, as she came across as childish in parts - even though she had reasons to be pissed. I'm pleased to report she does grow.
Thanatos, is a God of Death, he assesses souls on their way out, he has wings and can fight. He also has issues he needs to deal with. A big problem is his attraction to the strong-willed Calindria.
The majority of this book focuses on Calindria and Thanatos which I really like as there's lots of character and relationship building.
I found their story was one full of all the good things you want in a paranormal romance and there was a pull between the characters which ended up with some heated scenes.
I'm intrigued to see what the next book in this series is about as I thought that was everyone paired up?
4.5 stars
