Death Blooms

By: Yolanda Olson

Narrated by: Nikola Muckajev

I deal in beautiful things.

I'm paid to create unique masterpieces and I enjoy my work.

I'm the best there is because I'm patient, kind, and quick.

I wear the mask of humanity when I need to, and I play the part of just another stranger walking past you on the street, but there's something I want that I can't quite seem to get my hands on.

For all of the blood I shed - for all of the flesh I've stripped, there's only one touch that I long to feel. I may be a master of manipulation, yet when it comes to the hope of something that's just mine - something unexplainable toward another living creature that I long so desperately for, I'm a coward.

But there's only so many times I'll be willing to stand by and watch what I want walk away from me before I acquire it.

I've had enough patience and I've scolded myself more than once over this and I refuse to wait any longer.

We belong together.

Dark and creative

Yolanda will stun anyone into silence with her books. The dark, twisted and creative imagination this woman has always leaves me speechless. Gray is an enigma who seems like your average bystander, but can be deadly by the touch of his artistic hand. Tread lightly, because you don't want to get too comfortable when you're in his company, but I suggest you stay. This MM tale is sexy, unique and dangerous. Not to mention how gorgeous this cover is. Make sure to pick up a physicla copy, and while you're at it, grab the audiobook to listen along to Nikola Muckajev. His narration will give you the full effect of what it's like to be in the mind of Gray. His voice made the story so much more impactful!

WOW WHAT A STORY

Again, another shocking amazing story I LOVED. The whole thing had me enraptured. I thought it would have a different ending. I should have known better. I even thought at one point one of the characters was a bad person. I was wrong. Twist after twist and had me on the edge. I loved so much!

Potential but just strange

I found the"twist" or great reveal in the story ho-hum. I thought the basic friendship and love interest part of the story was okay. They were interesting characters to the degree I got to know the 3 characters. So, to me, it seemed like the author was just trying to find a way to make her basic, common story unique. But, instead, she just made it strange. She would do well to give a lot more detail in the strange parts if she wants it to actually be unique. The twist was too minor, too small, and too obscure in major ways. Showing human cruelty isn't unique. It would've been better without it.
