One, two, I'm coming for you.

She's my obsession.

Three, four, kneel on the floor.

I want to possess her in every way.

Five, six, I'm up to my old tricks.

She knows me as The Portland Serial K!ll3r.

Seven, eight, lay in wait.

Little does she know I'm watching her.

Nine, ten, never to be seen again.

Welcome to your worst nightmare, Little Lamb.

Who am I? Let me introduce myself. I'm Death. And I have found my Queen.

so good and a very yummy book

this was so good I wanted more I didn't want it to end wanted it to keep going....

Dark, Twisted and Heart Pounding!

Sometimes the predictability of a story tends to diminish the story but in this case it was so good I didn’t care that I knew what the twists were. Great read!!!

Sebastian and Death

story was so good I live for a book that keeps you trying to figure out what is happening please check the tws very good book also narrators were perfect

Great performance by narrators.

I found the beginning to be a bit slow, and almost moved on to a different book. I’m glad I didn’t. Once Death was introduced, I found myself hanging on to every twist and turn. I’m glad I stuck it out, loved it!

Dual Narration

Great story with decent narration! There were points where you could hear the male narrator swallowing but I'll blame that on editing, that Australian accent though? I'll take lots more of that please! The female narrator also pronounced certain words in a way that drove me nuts (her saying "record" goodness gracious lol) but overall they both did a great job.

Ella as a character drove me a bit nuts but I can't really say why without giving away parts of the story! Sebastian was amazing and I really loved the age gap aspect but as always Death was my favorite character - he is pitch black but still shows softness for Ella and I loved that.

I was thinking this was a standalone but I see there is a sequel on Goodreads and I am SO happy because I still had a few questions by the epilogue. CANNOT WAIT for it to be out on audio so I can enjoy the next part of the story!
