annathepiperThis is another plug post for a Drollerie book I just finished: Beautiful Death by Joely Sue Burkhart.
We've got ourselves an SF romance here, folks, with callbacks to Greek mythology. As you might guess, what with the whole Queen of Souls thing, I love me some Greek mythos--although with this story, it's more an interesting congruence of naming choices rather than a retelling of any myths, since the plot's not particularly mythical.
Isabella Thanatos, a.k.a. "Beautiful Death", is the First Marshal of New Olympia, the civilization that's arisen from the ashes after humanity is nearly wiped out by an alien virus. But her entire life has been a lie--as she discovers when she finds out she's been deliberately infected by a mutated form of that virus, and that her own father is responsible. She must turn to Hades, the alien leader who's been exiled to Earth and against whom she's fought for five years, for help in overcoming her father as well as the changes the virus is about to wreak in her.
Go check it out, y'all, and look around as well for freebies--it's Read an E-Book Week over at Drollerie!
