About this listen
“Vampires going to high school, but make it queer. Sterling delivers a fresh, thoughtful take on beloved paranormal tropes with a delightfully bloody romance.” (Mara Fitzgerald, author of Beyond the Ruby Veil)
From the author of These Witches Don't Burn comes another paranormal romance for fans of Richelle Mead and Stephenie Meyer.
Elise Beaumont is cursed. With every touch, she experiences exactly how her loved ones will die. And after her brother's death — a death she predicted but was unable to prevent — Elise is desperate to get rid of her terrible gift, no matter the cost.
Claire Montgomery also has a unique relationship with death, mostly because she’s already dead. Technically, anyway. Claire is a vampire, and she's been assigned by the Veil to help Elise master her rare Death Oracle powers.
At first, Elise is reluctant to work with a vampire, but when she predicts a teacher’s imminent murder, she's determined to stop the violent death, even if it means sacrificing her own future to secure Claire's help.
The trouble is, Claire and Elise aren't the only paranormals in town — a killer is stalking the streets, and Claire can't seem to shake the pull she feels toward Elise, a romance that could upend the Veil’s mission. But as Elise and Claire grow closer, Elise begins to wonder — can she really trust someone tasked with securing her loyalty? Someone who could so easily kill her? Someone who might hold the key to unraveling her brother's mysterious death.

Hannah's a witch, but not the kind you're thinking of. She's an Elemental with the power to control fire, earth, water, and air. But even though she lives in Salem, MA, her magic is a secret she has to keep to herself. So, Hannah spends most of her time avoiding her ex-girlfriend (and fellow Elemental Witch) Veronica, hanging out with her best friend, and working at the Fly by Night Cauldron selling candles and crystals to tourists, goths, and local Wiccans. Then evidence of dark magic begins to appear all over Salem, and Hannah's sure it's the work of a deadly Blood Witch.

Loving life, loving her job, loving her cat-everything is fantastic. Except that lack of any kind of private life. When a car accident brings her to the ER, the bottom falls out of her world when she realizes that reserved Doctor Taylor, her physician, is Madison Taylor from camp way back when she was a kid. And boy, does Madison still hold a well-earned grudge for how that all ended.

For both the team and the squad, watching Robbie get replaced by newcomer Jack Walsh is brutal. And when it turns out Jack is actually short for Jaclyn, all hell breaks loose. Amber tries for unity, but it quickly becomes clear that she's only got a future on the squad and with her friends if she helps them take Jack down. Just one problem: Amber and Jack are falling for each other.

For generations, the Campos and Machado families have blamed each other for stealing pastry recipes they claim their great-grandfathers originated before fleeing Castro's Cuba. Having spent their lives as rivals, Lauren and Sylvie are now in their early thirties and primed to take over their respective family bakeries. That means working long, hot, seasons of outdoor food festivals where they are forced to endure each other—albeit with a lot of bantering and barb-trading.

Awesome story
Everything is great. Plot, characters, and such. Some cliches but well done none the less. My favorite is the vampire has feelings. It makes the usual cold mystery fall away leaving plenty of room for emotion and romance.

Another Story Well Done
There is a style to Isabel Sterling that pulls me in and jars me at the same time. Her witch books were the same. This isn’t bad because I have now experienced her published books and find myself waiting for the next one. The grating part is the out of control teen and their emotions, and yet, that could be just a reflection of how I was as a teen that truly gets me.
This storyline was well done in the sense that it wasn’t all pink roses and petunias- there were some serious decisions to be made and losses where I thought YA books wouldn’t venture into.
Worth the read/listen.

Reads like Fanfiction...
Thin Character Development
With a story that drags and narrators who have only one tone to their voices, I'm finding this listen to be excruciatingly rough to finish. And a fair warning that some of this story won't seem important unless you read the other book to get some ground work of the world would have been nice.
One moderately better narrator may have be able to bring the story to life, but it really reads like maple syrup in winter.
The "Age gap" regardless of outwardly appearances, is odd and thinly veiled behind the whole, "turned earlier than was allowed" shtick. My teen heart this and my teen brain that is a poor way of trying to explain that she somehow thinks like a teen even though she's a grandmother by age alone and drinks blood from college aged females.. Odd.
That comment in Ch. 33 around 2 minutes and 7 seconds is freaking eye rolling. Jesus wept.
And finally - is there ever a LGB novel that doesn't need to reiterate the LGB party line? I feel like I'm getting a replayed sermon about my life style each and every time I read these novels...

Read/listen to this book, follow this author.
I've been waiting for this book for months. Not only do I love this author but I love both these narrators. It was fantastically done all around. Fun tidbit it was released on my birthday and it was the perfect present.
Anyway the character development and character arcs where the best part for this, though the plot and descriptive writing was done wonderfully too and the humor was well crafted and well placed.
I liked that Whiteness wasn't the default in this book, it really irritates me when authors only define the race of non-White characters as if whiteness should be assumed for everyone else.
I liked there being an non-binary character and that it wasn't something that was over explained. I loved that there was a bisexual guy, that almost never happens unless a is specifically book about m/m relationships and even then it's rare.
I do not generally read vampire novels. I was super into vampire fiction when I was a teenager longer ago than I want to think about, and since then I've avoided them, but I liked this take on them. The description of the book alone probably wouldn't have caught my attention had I not listened to another book by this author and been totally hooked on her writing.
Read/listen to this book, follow this author. Trust me it'll be worth it in every way.

Exactly what I wanted form a book
As a queer starved for representation who enjoys paranormal stories and vampires — this book was an absolute delight to listen to.
10/10 on character development, it was so easy to relate to not only the main characters, but to all characters. I keep trying to listen to small portions at a time to prolong the experience but it's really hard with the captivating story and easy to digest style.
The voice acting was on point, I really enjoyed being able to hear two perspectives with two different voices and every emotion was delivered to my brain exactly as it was intended to.

hope the author makes this a series.
I really enjoyed the story as a whole. definitely set up for more books and I'm looking forward to it. I'm really invested in the characters, love the romance its very cute, but now I'm super invested in the world in general. there's some interesting lore here and I can't wait for it to be expanded on.
two main characters can be hard to balance sometimes but I like how this particular author structured it. it felt like it made sense in this story. if you like vampires/magical worlds and your looking for something more queer I highly recommend.

How Could You Trust a Dead Girl?
It was okay. I was expecting more because of how much hype this book got online. There were aspects of the vampire lore that was different and made for a more interesting story. I didn’t really care about the whole death oracle storyline even though that was the MAIN storyline. It’s worth listening to once but it’s not really something I’ll find myself coming back to.

Great Paranormal Story
Two great narrators and a story line that is enthralling. Claire is a vampire send to train the next Death Oracle. Elise Beaumont is cursed with being able to see the death of everyone she touches. She is not happy about her new destiny and only wants her brother back. Will this journey be a success or are they doomed for failure? Marvelous story.
