Romantiikka
Death is supposed to be the end. Not in my world.
The dead never move on, not since Death walked off the job and disappeared. As a necromancer, it's my job to police the spirits while they remain stuck and, well, problematic a lot of the time. Death really needs to take his head out of his backside and get back to work, wherever he might be.
After a horrible incident in the tunnels of the London Underground, my life takes a sharp turn. It's all my fault and I'm sent off to a small town, a move to keep me out of sight and mind for the time being. Shamed, reputation dragged through the dirt. I'm not getting that promotion anytime soon.
On my first day in the town, I get caught up in a strange murder case, and Death saves my life. Yes, the Death. The delectable, mysterious Death.
Goodness, he is hotness personified. But what happened to make him walk away from his responsibilities? And why is he so deliciously tempting, my desire a raging inferno every time he looks at me with those incredible eyes? I shouldn't be thinking of an immortal being like this, but with every passing hour I can't stop myself from falling deeper into infatuation.
I want him.
Resistance is . . . impossible.

The chief word I would use to describe this book is 'disjointed'. Everything, from the characters and the travesty that is all the dialogue that jumps from subject to subject mid-conversation in whiplash fashion in this book to the plot that just never seemed to start properly at all, was just a jumbled mess of word soup. Getting any kind of actual interesting plot going felt like pulling teeth, but the writer sure had time to linger way too long in the most awkward, mundane moments and conversations with pointless side characters that meant nothing to no one. Suffice to say, I didn't manage to care for any of the characters presented to me. This story even managed to make the character of DEATH seem like the most boring shallow eye-candy. I feel like I was tricked into listening to a completely different book than what the interesting premise promised. There was next to no world-building either apart from "Death is gone and there is magic". Why, why IS any of this??
