Hi Amic,
As Halloween gets closer its the perfect time to read a gothic romance. The book I have chosen is Saving Death by R.L Endean . Saving Death comes out 5th November.
Ava has lost her mother and is trying to cope in a world without her. Her world has lost its colour and the only thing she feels is her grief.
When she moves in with her father, she meets a mysterious stranger called Sam. He made her feel again, but he keeps telling her to stay away. Although he says to stay away neither of them can ignore the pull between the two of them. When Ava try to find out more about Sam she is pulled into a world of black magic, primal loyalties and dangerous secrets.
Saving Death is a Beautiful Gothic romances that reminds us that there is life after death.
The beginning of the book has this amazing line;
“Time couldn’t erase grief, it could only allow it to shrivel and wilt like a dead low shedding its petals.”
Once I read that line I knew this was going to be gorgeous read.
Sam is the leading man and he is not completely human, and the take on what he is very interesting. I loved the his revel, and the mythology and politics around him and his kind.
Ava are leading female behaviour sums up with it is like being a teenager, as well as person with depression. Sometimes I do find her behaviour annoying. Than II do have to remember her age and reminds myself I was annoying at that age.
Additionally I would like to commend the author R.L Endean on creating a Sam a character that when Ava asks for some space to deal with things, he gives her the space.
Saving Death has a great mixture of Romance, teenage angst, fantasy and drama that keep wanting to read more. The epilogue gives us a hint that there are more stories to be told from the world, which leaves me hungry for more.
My rating for Saving Death is 4 out of 5
