"Hym and Hur" is a paranormal fantasy-comedy about a young couple who never age and enjoy either playing pranks on humankind or performing good deeds.
Hym and Hur are a paranormal young couple who never age and have been in love for more than a century. They also possess an array of magical abilities, two of which are either to play pranks on humankind or to perform good deeds. Enacting both at the same time is now what gets them into big trouble.
The prank Hym and Hur have come up with must first be agreed upon by Death, who happens to be an unruly, conniving character. Once agreed upon, the prank is set in motion. Hym and Hur soon discover that Death had tricked them into a contract with dire consequences for all of us.
During their attempt to break the contract, Hym and Hur try to save the relationship of an earthbound couple, knowing they are truly meant for each other. A good deed that will bring Hym and Hur even more trouble.

This was a deliciously funny little tale. I loved the pranks Hym & Hur played and the funny interventions they made into people's lives, whether for the best or not. The story ran smoothly and the characters were believable. The end was very sweet and I would love to read more of this author's work.

Hym and Hur is a fun fantasy read. I enjoyed watching Hym and Hur play a joke on L.A. They think it will all be good but along the way are some unexpected surprises: the Death character is a guy who takes advantage of any situation. I also like that Death got to take a holiday! A quick entertaining read!

It’s fast moving. It has a point. I found it a thought-provoking short read with meaning that lacked pretentiousness in the delivery of its message. I found it to be a nice surprise.
