The gods are dying and and only Hades knows why. There is nothing quite as frustrating as being the last person to know what's going on. Most days it seems like the whole world knows something Autumn doesn't-the whole Underworld, anyway. For 18 year-old Autumn, the biggest obstacles in her foreseeable future are paying for college and staying out of trouble. She doesn't need gods of half-forgotten myths swooping in to alter her course-but Hector, the second incarnation of the Lord of the Underworld, has never been one to sit back and watch the world burn. Enter Autumn, unknowing, untrained, unwilling Fury: the perfect secret weapon in a secret war of the gods. Hector and Autumn strike a bargain but the more Autumn gets to know the inhabitants of the Underworld, the further she gets from her all-too-human problems. Who can think about homework or consequences when all of the gods are dying? With the help-or the hindrance-of the Fates, Autumn must train with Harpies, Furies, and other creatures formerly of myth to win an impending war for Hector, restore the ambrosia to Olympus, and be home in time for graduation. All in a Tuesday's work.

General Richard Pelton has lost his wife to illness a little over two years ago and ever since then, he's been looking for a nanny to help take care of his kids. But every new nanny he brings in manages to get chased out by his children. Will they warm up to Annabel? Their new nanny? Or will she too not be able to handle the stress of living in a mansion with five children of different ages while having to do house chores and growing feelings for her boss, Mr.Pelton? Will he be able to keep things professional with his childrens nanny and set his feelings aside or will he act upon his desires? This book is set in an olden era, I'm thinking the 1950's. It's set in England, but I'm going to use the dollar currency and yes, they all have accents. So, mama and papa are pronounced ma𝑚𝑎 and pa𝑝𝑎, you get me?
