Hipsy's View: Life of Death

Note: This review is also posted on Goodreads.com. It's basically the same review there, but I thought I post it here if any of you didn't have a Goodreads account. If you get a chance to read this book, I hope you enjoy it. You can find it on Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites.


I recently finished a book called Life of Death, and I loved it. I didn't know what to expect at first when I started reading this book. Then I thought I knew what the story was about; I thought it was the story about the life of an immortal. I was right...and wrong. This story is told in two views: the first is the view of a young woman and the other is that of a "fly on the wall". This is mainly a mystery. Usually, I'm not into mysteries, but since I have started writing my own type of mystery, I have started reading others' mysteries. And like many mysteries, this one is full of life, love, pain, anger, sadness, and death. This story could also be considered a thriller, if you read it like that. If what I just said has confused you, I meant to. This story is meant to be in YOUR perspective. What is the time setting of this story? The town setting? The race of the characters? What is the origin itself? The author left that decision to our own imagination, which makes a story always interesting and makes you unable to put it down. I give Life of Death a five star rating.
