Thanatos
on July 30, 2013
Oh wow, where do I start?! I love this author! Eva Pohler has a gift for making the reader emotionally attached to the characters, in a matter of PAGES! I love the fact that she's an English teacher, I can be confident that my brain will never stumble over something in her books. Can't even stress how important that is to me, lol. Now on to the book! Therese Mills is a 15 year old girl who watches her parents die, right in front of her. If things had happened just a little differently, she would've died too. In a coma for a week, with an amazing gift for lucid dreaming, Therese meets the gods Hypnos and Thanatos. Hip is fascinated by her dreaming skills. After one kiss, she about sweeps Than off of his feet, causing him to make a deal with his father Hades that will change both of their lives forever! I loved this book! I can't wait to start the next one! If I could do partial stars...this would get more than a 4. Not quite a 5 though, I save that for another amazing book this author has written. She really has a way with writing, from describing Than's first experiences, to the personalities given to Therese's pets, lol! I just love her writing and can't wait to read more. I, like another reviewer friend of mine, just don't understand how this author is not more well known! She is an awesome writer, and hands-down better than many of the more mainstream writers that I've read in my life! I hope this author continues writing for many years to come! I can't wait to see what she will come up with next!

The Purgatorium: An Island Thriller
on May 06, 2014
OH WOW! This book is by far the best book I've read in years! This book was like a really good therapy session for me. The end was just, OMG, I was bawling hysterically. I wish this kind of place was REAL! The weird stuff that happens, it can be confusing, but by the end you will understand why it was necessary. The end, it's just amazing. I can't praise this book enough. I knew Eva was an awesome person before reading this book, and as you may know, I've read several of her books in addition to this one. After reading this book though, I know I have to read everything she writes. Even her lesser known titles. If you haven't picked up a book by this awesome lady yet, you're seriously missing out. Go buy this one ASAP. If you have any kind of family dysfunction at all, you will be able to relate to Daphne, and may find this book as healing as I did.

Broken City
on Dec. 23, 2014
Broken City is the first Post-Apocalyptic/Dystopian book that I've read, and I just loved it! The world that D. D. created was so original. I can actually picture the compounds, even the empty buildings in The City. Though I don't believe it is ever specified WHICH city it is. I kinda like that though, it lets the reader can imagine it as a city local to them, wherever in the world they may be. At least until they have to look up a word and they realize that the author is from England. There were a few times that I had to look words up, because they were English terms that I had never even heard before. Does definitely explain why they drink so much tea in this book. By the way...I LOVE some of the song choices in the playlist and soundtrack listed on my blog post! Also on that post is an excerpt with one of my favorite parts of this book, as well as an excerpt from the second book! http://youhadmeatfreebook.blogspot.com/2014/02/review-of-broken-city-and-broken-truce.html
