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.

The Gatekeeper's Sons

Unrest brews among gods and mortals alike when Hades makes a deal with the Fates to end his loneliness in the Underworld. But when Persephone proposes to conspire with him in a plot against Demeter, things get out of hand. Find out the truth of how Hades and Persephone met and fell in love and the impact it had on the rest of the pantheon in the throes of the Trojan War. Learn how their children--Hypnos, Thanatos, Megaera, Tisiphone, Alecto, and Melinoe--came into being. Discover why they were assigned their respective duties as Sleep, Death, the Furies, and the goddess of ghosts. Find out the real reason why the Olympians possessed such profound disdain for these Underworld gods. This prequel to The Gatekeeper's Saga is more than a retelling of the Persephone myth. Many more of the ancient myths are woven together to reveal the conflict, tension, and relationships among the gods in one of the most beloved pantheons in human history.The Gatekeeper's Bride can be read before or after The Gatekeeper's Saga, but readers might find more enjoyment from it after having met the characters by reading the saga first.

Intriguing 

Although this doesn’t follow the exact timeline of the more traditional Greek mythologies, this is definitely a good read! I had the HARDEST time putting the book down and was even reading instead of working at times. By far one of my favorite younger targeted books that I’ve read in a long time. Easy read, detailed, and exciting to the very last page! Well done!!!

Good and quick

Couldn’t put this book down but didn’t want to finish it too fast. Absolutely easy and fun read. Loved the story line

always, annej 〄

The story is about the unpopular gods that are not mentioned a lot in the known mythology books. They are from the Underworld - Thanatos and Hypnos. They are the sons of Hades and Persephone. Hynos is the god of sleep and Thanatos is the god of death.

So the Underworld is still the Underworld, right? Same routine of ferrying the dead and letting people to have dreams. Until the girl comes then everything changed. Next thing happening is Thanatos having a bargain with Hades to search for the girl who suddenly appeared in their lives. But the girl is a mortal and she was just searching for her dead parents when she stumbled with Thanatos and Hypnos. Then she kissed Thanatos, and that changed everything.

With the help of the Furies - Thanatos' sisters, they'll find this girl and the suspect to her parent's death.

Misadventures happened and of course, romantic getaways. All is going well, she's to become a goddess and live happily ever after with Thanatos in front of all the gods. Yes, the gods who are popular to us - from Zeus to Thanatos. But then, she chose the wrong choice and everything turned to shambles. It should've been her, but she chose not to. 

The plot was okay and not very flat. The setting is the mortal world and sometimes the gods' places. I love the romance in this story, the author surely knows how to write it well. I enjoyed it. I was just annoyed with the main character being so stubborn with her choices. I hope everything in their lives get better in the second book.

-10/5 DNF
I am deleting this book from my kindle and my mind.

Yeah, This book is just terrible. If you imagine these characters are eight years old, this all makes clearer sense. I almost stopped when the Main character (who is 15) makes her chest grow in not dream and waves it around in one of the romantic partners who apparently looks 18. Which is already wrong. 

I imagined them as 8 year old's, because I was never 15 and waving boobs in guys faces. I can imagine being flat chested is something a teen hates, but its still creepy. 

Then non-spoiler, people die (not wanting to spoil who incase you decide to die a little and read it) and she cares more about hot boys then people she cares about. Then is totally cool with them being dead to hang out with a hot god boy in her dreams. Like what. Maybe a ten year old would like this, but even a kid understands dead people you love matter more than boys.

In The Gatekeeper's Sons, Therese and Thanatos, the god of death, met and fell in love. In The Gatekeeper's Challenge, they did everything they could to be together, even break an oath on the River Styx. But the Olympians don't tolerate oath-breakers. In this third book in the saga, The Gatekeeper's Daughter, Therese may have finally succeeded in becoming a goddess, but if she wants to remain one, she'll not only have to discover her unique purpose, but also make some allies among the gods. Artemis sends her on a seemingly impossible quest across the world, while Than searches for a way to appease Ares. To make matters worse, her baby sister's life depends on the outcome of her quest.

The Gatekeeper's House

When Zeus invites Therese and Thanatos to a party on Mount Olympus in their honor, they and the other gods who have formed the Athena Alliance are immediately suspicious of a trap. They fear Zeus has learned of their desire to free Metis and Cybele and to stand up for all the women he has wronged. Although Therese recruits Dione, Amphitrite, and others to the Alliance, Pete has unwittingly sabotaged their plans by revealing to Zeus the prophecy from the ghost of Mr. Holt. And now, the day that might have been the most wonderful day of Therese's life (her wedding day) will be wrought with conflict where someone close to her is fated to die. Can Therese and the other gods in the Alliance bind the almighty Zeus and restore justice and true democracy among the Olympians? Or will Zeus succeed in swallowing Therese and separating her from Thanatos for all eternity?
