Sorry the title isn't very good but I couldn't think of anything else to call it that wasn't stupidly long and complicated.

You know how in Percy Jackson after monsters are killed they just get resurrected again after a period of time? Was it ever explained what happens to creatures who are killed in this mythology?

At first I thought they must just stay dead, which was supported (I thought) by the part where Utgard-Loki does Thiazzi's 'grab someone and bash them up a bit until they promise to bring you Idunn's apples' thing. In my little head I thought 'Oh. That must be because in the myth Thiazzi was killed so obviously he can't do it (and this way Riordan can bring Utgard-Loki into it to do the mandatory "I always get confused with that guy" joke'.)

However later on in the story it turns out that Geirröd and his daughters are alive (for a brief period of time...) when in the myths they were killed by Thor. So how does that work? was it explained in the book and I just missed it?

I think that Jotnar sound a lot like the titans of Greek mythology although I am not sure if there is a good reason for that or if it is just that Loki reminds me of Prometheus because I can't remember much about the titans. My point here is that if I remember correctly, in Percy Jackson the titans get the same deal as other monsters and ...actually I have no idea and am just confusing myself at this point so if there is someone patient enough to interpret my semi-coherent drivel and has any thoughts on this please write them down because it is driving me mad.
