Seeing as I got one chapter done and have finally gotten into the story, I might up the word count to at least 1k (with 2k in mind). Won't be easy, but I could try once.👀

A Greek God Got Me Pregnant is for now adult Percy Jackson fans who are starting to wonder more about Sally Jackson and the other mortal parents’ stories.
Larkin definitely does after she discovers she's pregnant with the actual Greek god Apollo's child.

A town with missing memories.
A snowstorm that never happened.
A dark figure playing a fatal game behind the scenes.
And a dead girl walking with the answers. The only problem? She doesn't remember them & she has 30 days to figure it out before she dies again.

Death is what the grieving Amara seeks when she weds the Black Widower. What she gains is an eternal bond to a magical husband.
Hope is what Amara clings to as she finds meaning in her second chance at life. But in the treacherous Sythmore, no call for Death goes unanswered.
