Death's Obsession

Avina St. Graves

3.35 AVERAGE


This feels like a bad rough draft.

It's a vomited collection of every possible petname Death could use on the FMC, about 3 different directions for where the FMC's development arc might stem from, and a very rough outline of a love story that is meant to be romantic and deep.

Oh and sprinkle in gratuitous DP with Death and his shadow.

I don't care or know any of the characters, a lot of the writing has the potential to read well but lands flat every time, I don't understand why Death wouldn't take Lilith or why exactly he "chose" her after the accident or why he randomly disappeared at times when she needed him.

It has potential if it were a first draft. Nearly every facet of the story, characters, and plot needs to be fleshed out more, and for the spice to really "spice" for me, it needs to feel purposeful.

dark emotional tense fast-paced

i’m ashamed to say i read this in full and somewhat enjoyed it.

He fr is the standard

Great cover, great name. I don't enjoy first person's thoughts narratives. It's like hanging out with a narcissist who talks to much. I also should start paying attention to the number of pages a book has. I was unaware that this is a short story and I felt like I'd been thrown into the middle of the story.
