An amazingly thought-provoking story on what it is to be human, can someone be duplicated and religion.
4.75 stars for The Witch who Trades with Death by C.M. Alongi
"𝘎𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘴.”
Thank you Netgalley & Bolinda for an ARC copy of this audiobook.
The Witch who Trades with Death is a unique standalone romantasy about a witch named Khana who had lost everything in life except her love for music thanks to the immortal king ruling over many lands.
Definitely read the trigger warnings on this one because Khana has it rough. Some events unfold leading to her escape to avoid death at the hands of the king. She ends up in a small town where she finds friends, community, family and herself.
Something about this story just absolutely resonated with me. Khana as the timid and scared witch, finding people who accept her for who she is and what she is able to bring to the table, growing into a strong woman who can confront the demons from her past.
It all seems so cliche but this book is such a fresh take on this story.
This world and the magic system is so unique to other's I've read. The way everything interconnects, the way people have lost part of the art of their magic because of the king, and the way Khana accidentally stumbled upon death within it all.
All the characters are absolutely amazing and I can't say that I didn't love a single one. The romance between Khana and Sava is slow and timid and there is a singular spicy scene, although it's not what you'd expect. The intimacy and growth between them mean so much more than the spice.
Overall, this book just gave me all the good feels while reading it and I highly recommend people read it if you like the premise.

Thank you Alex Mellow for gifting me an e-ARC of your book! I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to be able to read your work!
Seized... Body and Mind is Alex Mellow's debut novel and is a contemporary romance retelling of Beauty and the Beast.
Sebastian is our Billionaire CEO playboy who is a beast at heart, ruthless and cutthroat in business and even a little bit towards our FMC Alice in the beginning in terms of how he gets her to spend time with him.
Alice is our bookish, shy, virginal main character, loveable from the beginning but very naive, impressionable and sensitive.
Alex's writing style flows across these pages and I had no issues flying through large parts of this book, even though the pace was a bit slow in parts. The romance between our main characters definitely gives this book some dark romance vibes even though this isn't necessarily a dark romance book. Their dynamic is immediate and intense and builds up really quickly, all while having this intense slow burn building between them and leading up to them doing the deed.
This story is filled with spicy scenes so if that's your vibe this book is for you!
All this smut doesn't mean there's no plot, trust that Alex came through with an intense plot line to keep you on your toes!
This book is a story of love, lust and growth. It's intense and emotional and everything you could want in a contemporary romance.
