Maz Evans

Elliot's mum is ill and his home is under threat, but a shooting star crashes to earth and changes his life forever. The star is Virgo - a young Zodiac goddess on a mission. But the pair accidentally release Thanatos, a wicked death daemon imprisoned beneath Stonehenge, and must then turn to the old Olympian gods for help. After centuries of cushy retirement on earth, are Zeus and his crew up to the task of saving the world - and solving Elliot's problems too?

Who Let the Gods Out?

Hello? Can you hear me? Probably not. I'm Dr Miriam Price . . . and I'm dead.
The local police, who couldn't investigate their own nostrils, think I drank myself into an early grave. The nerve! I was murdered. I was just too plastered to know whodunnit, that's all.

Unless I prove to my inquest this week that my death was no 'misadventure', I'm condemned to 50 years in Limbo. I have to find my killer - but I can't communicate with any living human. Well, there's one, but she barely qualifies . . . Winnie - my neighbour and nemesis. It seems the dying can interact with the dead, which is helpful news for me, if not stellar for Winnie. Oh well. She'll live. Maybe.

Suspects? How long have you got? My saintly husband, who'd reached his limit? My best friend, who was anything but? My secret lover, or his wife? My disgruntled colleague? The mother who wrongly holds me responsible for her child's death? Professor Plum? Your guess is as good as mine.

So Winnie - slap on your deerstalker and strap on your granny pants. Let's catch a killer! Assuming we don't kill each other first . . .

Over My Dead Body

Die Götter sind los

Elliot Hooper's troubles are far from over: his mum's health worsens, he's struggling at school, and a bunch of anarchic Greek immortals have moved into his home - including teen goddess Virgo, who's in trouble with the Zodiac. What's more, death-daemon Thanatos and his scary mum are at large. As even more immortal allies and enemies emerge, Virgo and Elliot must learn how to be heroes ...

Simply the Quest

Elliot's life is spiralling out of control. He's been suspended from school, his ex-convict dad is useless around the house and his mum's health is worsening. What's more, the gods are determined to forge on with the quest for the third chaos stone. An unlikely, hilarious and heart-warming odyssey begins. But Elliot has heard of a mythical potion rumoured to cure all ills - can he save his mum, even if it means sacrificing the fate of the world?

Um nicht für ein halbes Jahrhundert in die langweilige Vorhölle zu kommen, muss Miriam irgendwie beweisen, dass sie getötet wurde. Gar nicht so einfach, wenn man ein Geist ist!

Krawumms! Bruchlandung im Kuhstall – so hatte Virgo sich ihre Mission auf der Erde nicht vorgestellt. Auch bei Elliot läuft es nicht gerade optimal: Seine Mum ist krank, das Geld ist knapp und sein Lehrer hat es auf ihn abgesehen. Da hat er Besseres zu tun, als sich um ein durchgeknalltes Sternbild-Mädchen zu kümmern. Doch dann befreien Elliot und Virgo aus Versehen den Todesdämon Thanatos. Jetzt müssen sie bei der Weltrettung gemeinsame Sache machen. Zum Glück bekommen sie göttliche Unterstützung. Nur sind Zeus, Hermes, Aphrodite und Athene zwar unsterblich, aber nicht immer sooooooooooo hilfreich.
