Death is My Ride or Die by Katarina E. Tonks
4.5

Ok, death is still a frustrating asshole. He definitely does not grovel like I thought he would but boy is he on his way there although it takes until almost the end of the book lol. 

I love faith as a character she’s so witty, funny, strong, and full of complex emotions and feelings. I appreciate how she isn’t portrayed as all badass or all soft, she’s a multifaceted woman like the rest of us. 

Death, you broody, cold mf you… for the first like 70% of the book I was frustrated with his lack of intimacy and warmth with faith but towards the end of the book we get a glimpse into his past and he has gone through some horrible things. This doesn’t excuse his behavior but it gives a reason for it. I am so excited for book 3 and to see where his character goes. He’s very complex and I hope he groooveelllsss hard for faith. Since his personality was so cold I wasn’t really a fan of all his sexual comments and jokes towards faith because they came off as cheap since she was so open to him but towards the end their banter became more loving and playful which I appreciate. 

When I tell you I CRIED at the ending. I had to sit on my couch and just cry for a minute. Ends on a major cliffhanger and I need to know what happens. I’ll be staring at a wall (queue twilight scene) until book 3 comes out.
