The books are meant to be all-encompassing. The main reason I write Mary Hades at a shorter length is because the tone is very deep first person POV present tense. Think of it as an urban fantasy series, but more contemporary. It could go on as Mary goes to University, or a spin off with different characters could occur. Not all of the novels will be set in the same place. Think of them as brief instalments into her very interesting life. This is going to continue throughout the series. The first book has a resolution and no cliff-hanger, but it sets up the rest of the series, because it shows Mary what she wants to achieve with her life. That means that not all the books will link on from each other. Like the novella that started it all-My Daylight Monsters-each novel, and each story, is a snapshot into Mary’s life. I will be bringing in long-arc storylines at some point, but the first few books are almost standalones. To me, this is almost like a long-running television series, where each book will focus on a specific challenge. It’s not a trilogy:Īt the moment, the series is open ended, which means I’m planning to keep it going for as long as I enjoy writing it. Here are five things you can expect, and five examples that are a little different to most YA books.
However, there’s a part of me that’s nervous about this series. I find Mary the easiest character to write because she is such a free spirit. A spine-tingling tale with romance, readers will be shocked and entertained in equal measure.įive ways Mary Hades is different to your average YA series The first in a series of dark YA novels, Mary Hades follows on from the bestselling Kindle Single My Daylight Monsters. But can she prevent her heart from being broken? Helped by her dead best friend and a quirky gay Goth couple, Mary must stop the unusual deaths occurring in Nettleby. But Mary is drawn to him in a way that has her questioning her judgement. Seth Lockwood-a local fairground worker with a dark secret-might be the key to uncovering the murky history that has blighted Nettleby. Little does she know, evil lurks in the campsite…
Scarred physically and mentally from a fire, her parents decide a holiday to an idyllic village in North Yorkshire will help her recover. Nestled in the middle of five moors, Mary expects to have a boring week stuck in a caravan with her parents.
