4.5 STARS ALL DAY. Audrey Rush is an author whose work consistently defies expectations. In her latest novel, Blaze, the MMC, and Ren, the FMC, cross paths while working at a mortuary. Blaze, a serial killer/grave digger, and Ren, a crematorium technician, form an unlikely pact: she seeks to end her life, while he seeks to take others'. Audrey's narrative unfolds with creativity, offering unexpected emotional depth by the book's conclusion. I wholeheartedly recommend it, rating it 10 out of 10.
