I could watch you for a life time… living over 300 years and never leaving your mark.
To be honest I was expecting more of a love story with Addie & Death like in Belladonna by Adalyn Grace. Whilst I don’t like making comparisons both these stories have a haunting beauty in two very different respects.
You cannot deny the beauty of this book. It’s poignant, reflective, beautifully written. It’s regret and not regretting, it’s about making the most of your life and time. It we make you think and feel what one would do with making a deal with death. You really feel every despair that Addie experiences and then what Henry does too.
It’s not for everyone, you won’t have a HEA but rather leaves it up to you to decide what happens between Adeline and Luc.
