Book Review ~ DEATH IS MY BFF by Katarina E. Tonks

Death is My BFF (The Death Chronicles, #1)
By: Katarina E. Tonks
Series: The Death Chronicles
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy Romance
Release Date: September 5, 2023
Publisher: Wattpad Books

When Faith Williams almost loses her life during a robbery, Death is there. While he spares her soul, he makes a promise to return when she’s eighteen and collect it.

Now it’s the eve of that special birthday, and Faith has no recollection of that fateful day. But echoes of Death appear in her art―his intense eyes, his intriguing demeanor―and she can’t get him out of her head. When he arrives in person, Faith is drawn into an epic supernatural battle where her very existence is questioned at every turn.

To add angst to agony, she meets the infamous David Star at a Halloween party, and he begins to show an interest in her. He’s handsome, rich, ambitious, and every girl’s dream, but Faith doesn’t know if she can trust him.

As Faith learns more about who David really is, and as Death pushes harder for her soul, an ancient prophecy emerges. When she discovers the secrets that bind all three together... all hell breaks loose.

“Once, I was just a young man, unprepared for the cards I’d been dealt. I let fate grind me under its heel. Now I was a monster who held the deck.”

Where to start? Where to start?.... I am in love with Death. He's funny. He’s sarcastic. He’s a little rude and can definitely be a jerk at times. He actually has a heart, albeit a tarnished one, and is caring. He just doesn't like to show it or have anyone know.

Katarina E. Tonks’ Death is My BFF is the story of eighteen-year-old Faith Williams who should have died when she was eight, but had her life spared by Death himself. The caveat being that when she turned eighteen, he would come for her and she would willingly go with him. Now, Death has returned for Faith’s soul. Unfortunately, he isn’t the only angel or demon after Faith.

Death is My BFF is a fun, entertaining read. There’s so much more to Death than meets the eye. Faith is more than she appears to be. These two are magnets who have no idea how much they need each other. The story itself has numerous surprises, with a cliffhanger I can’t seem to be mad about. I just wish I had the next book, Death is My Ride or Die in my hands right now!
