About this listen

Vampires, ghosts and death itself - from the international bestselling author of The Atlas Six, Masters of Death by Olivie Blake is a spellbinding queer fantasy.

'Olivie Blake is a mind-blowing talent' - Chloe Gong, author of These Violent Delights

This book is about an estate agent. Only she’s a vampire, the house on sale is haunted, and its ghost was murdered.


When Viola Marek hires Fox D’Mora to deal with her ghost-infested mansion, she expects a competent medium. But unbeknownst to Viola, Fox is a fraud – despite being the godson of Death.

As the mystery unfolds, Viola and Fox are drawn into a quest that neither wants nor expects. They'll need the help of a demonic personal trainer, a sharp-voiced angel and a love-stricken reaper. And it transpires that the difference between a mysterious lost love and a dead body isn’t nearly as distinct as you’d hope.

'If you enjoyed Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s Good Omens, you will adore this book'- Starburst Magazine

Critic reviews

With a high-stakes game risking eternal oblivion, dialogue that crackles like an old-school Hollywood comedy, and a mystery to solve, Blake dazzles yet again. A winner (Daily Mail)
A meditation on romance and mortality, with the most satisfying ending imaginable (SFX)

Not for me

The relief I felt by the time I finally finished listening to this book was indescribable. Too many characters, too many accents and a “plot” that went on FOREVER while at the same time didn’t manage to actually go anywhere or result in anything meaningful. I also happened to find the writing incredibly condescending and the characters all annoying. Blake’s version of Death ends up coming across like a badly copied one from Terry Pratchett. Someone else on Goodreads said it was like reading about a bunch of bickering squirrels with increasing angst and I couldn’t agree more. I was left frustrated throughout the whole book hoping that the ending would at least tie things up nicely, but I was left disappointed. This book seems to fall into the genre some people seem to enjoy that I call: No Structure, no development; just a bunch of characters talking too much and not doing anything. And the repetition of the same MEANINGLESS dialogue that also went nowhere drive me insane. “There is a game the immortals play. It has no rules. Only one. Don’t lose..blah, blah, blah” over and over again! I won’t be picking up anything by Olivie Blake again, and unless you enjoy senseless and endless rambling in your books I wouldn’t recommend it.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
