I loved this book! Short and spicy with great storyline and characters.

It was beautifully written and dealt with some heavy topics like grief, death, and mental illness, and in my opinion those were well-written. For me this book was really emotional. There were lighthearted, funny moments, but also multiple heavy, sad moments.

The FMC, Lilith was a survivor facing survivor’s guilt over a car accident that killed her other half, her twin sister. Seeing her struggle with guilt and grief was heartbreaking, and on top of those she was dealing with a toxic relationship and had a stalker who invaded her dreams. At the beginning of the book she was so broken and I loved how she healed and evolved as a character throughout the story.

The MMC, Death was an intriguing character. He was dominating and possessive, but also surprisingly sweet. I loved the letters he wrote for her. And of course he was a shadow daddy! I loved the relationship development and dynamic between Death and Lilith. And the spice between them was so good!

The ending made me cry, and I loved it. I can’t wait to read more books from the author!
