Suitable Audience

You crave a thrilling mix of paranormal and supernatural elements with a side of mature romance? Death is My BFF is the perfect pick.

Fans of dark romance (with morally ambiguous love interests) will find themselves captivated by this tale of life, death, and everything in between. I am not kidding!



My Thoughts

The characters are what make this series shine like a star (pun intended!).

Faith is a breath of fresh air, a strong and relatable protagonist who grows from a high schooler to a fearless young adult.  

And Death? Oh, he's like an anti-hero you'll love to hate (or hate to love, who knows!).

His mysterious and sarcastically funny nature adds an extra dose of spookiness and charm. Who knew Death could be so complex?




And, boy, does he know how to play mind games with Faith!

But let's talk about the writing style. Sure, there are a few rough patches with grammar and confusing moments in her drafts on Wattpad, but don't let that spook you away!

Katarina is working her magic on editing, and let me tell you, she wrote this first draft when she was just 14-15! Talk about talent!

As you dive into the series, you'll find yourself immersed in Faith's narrative and Death's snarky dialogue (my kind of duo!).




And yes, David Star might be described as oh-so-attractive a bit too often, but hey, who doesn't love a charming character with a few mood swings? It keeps things interesting!

Death is My BFF is a wickedly entertaining series that'll leave you wanting more, despite the occasional bumps in the literary road.

Trust me, you won't be able to resist the charm of Death himself (in a totally non-morbid way, of course!).

So, grab your favorite snacks and let the wild ride begin! Happy reading, my fellow book-loving souls!  

With love,

Mora
