À propos de cet audio

 “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?

This was a cute story. I am hesitant to read YA romance as I know some have sex scenes and I would feel creepy reading that as a full grown adult, but this was pretty much G rated on that front. Definitely PG or 14A on the violence front, though, and the themes of grief and murder might be intense for extra sensitive readers or readers under 13 or 14 or so or who are currently grieving. Despite the low amount of sexual content, the author and narrators did a pretry good job building the tension of attraction and emotional bonding between the two main characters. I liked the narrators a lot and they are new to me. I'm happy because they helped me find some more sapphic content that hadn't been on my radar before. Definitely worth the sale price. I wouldn't have regretted spending a credit on it if it had been full price either.

sweet and cute, but real grief too
