Death Gets a Boyfriend

by

Sophie Bonaste

Death is in a lonely business. Since the beginning of time he’s been reaping souls then returning home to his little condo in the sky. It’s not a bad job. There are perks. But Death would kill to meet his soul mate, no pun intended.

Tommy Neilson is the next human slated for death. But when he can see Death, Tommy turns his whole world upside down. Curious, Death seeks Tommy out. The chemistry between the two is immediate and soon an unlikely romance starts to form. While Death may not be lonely anymore, he isn’t allowed to interact with humans. Consequently, he must make a choice: billions of souls or the one that makes being immortal worth it.

Excerpt:

I am Death.

   Well, that’s one of my names anyway. I’m also known as the Grim Reaper, the Angel of Death, Azreal, and the list goes on. Some people have even called me Satan, but I would like to say right now, that’s a lie. I am not Satan. I know Satan. He’s not as bad of a guy as you would think. Sure he can get a little violent if you get out of hand, but as long as you stay on his good side, you’ll be fine.

    And there I go getting off track again. You’ll have to forgive me. I’m not very good at staying focused. I guess that comes from the fact that I can jump around the world at an alarmingly fast rate. Thankfully that’s not very hard. Well, at least not for me. I guess, in the human population, that’s a skill many people want for some reason. I don’t know why, though, considering how scattered it makes your brain. It really does. That’s why I try to avoid using that skill. Causes headaches.

    Anyway, this is a story about me. Don’t worry, though. It’s not too gruesome or anything like that. This is a story about how I fell in love. Yes, I know that’s kind of hard to believe. Death falling in love. Believe me, it shocked the hell out of me too. (No pun intended.) But it’s true. After thousands of years in existence, I finally found someone whom I wanted to spend my time with.

About Sophie

Sophie Bonaste is a novelist who never set out to be a novelist. As a child, she wanted to a Broadway actress and spent her childhood in numerous productions. But when adulthood set in and reality took over, Sophie chose to give up the theatre for a steady paycheck and instead turned to writing as a creative outlet. She stumbled into the M/M genre through fanfiction and never looked back. Sophie is quite happy with her change in artistic expression and doesn’t plan to stop writing for a long time.

A self-proclaimed nerd, Sophie is an avid fan of all things Star Wars and Harry Potter. (Sophie is a member of the Slytherin house, for those who were wondering.) Sophie also spends many hours watching and re-watching nerdy television shows. When she is not obsessing over the latest and greatest in nerdy entertainment, Sophie can be found screaming at her television during American football games. (Go Pack Go!) Sophie currently lives in Pennsylvania, about twenty minutes from her childhood town of The Middle of Nowhere.

Review: Death might be immortal but his job does take its toll at times, reaping souls day after day can get even Death down and it gets damn lonely. When Death sets out to do his job he is shocked when the human can see him, humans aren’t supposed to see him, and he becomes curious about Tommy and unable to do his job. Tommy enthrals Death and their unlikely romance begins, but the Boss has plans of his own and Death will have to make the hardest choice in his very long immortal life: the man he loves or billions of lives.

Wow this was a brilliant story with an absolutely fantastic cast of characters. Death is nothing like we would imagine, a cute skinny blond who wears character t-shirts, jeans and red glasses, he flits around the world making sure people die when they are supposed to and then chills out playing computer games on his limited off time. When he meets Tommy it rocks Death’s world slightly and soon Death is having his very first taste of love. Tommy was slated to die and he has difficulty believing the cute blond who hovered over him after he was knocked down by a car is Death, but Death can be very convincing and Tommy soon falls for the slight awkward immortal.

I loved this story, absolutely loved it. Every notion that I ever had about death was thrown out the window as I read this story…. It also shattered the image of God that I had lol yeah now that was something I had never considered *snigger*. Death reminded me a lot of an awkward introvert dealing with his first crush; it has your heart opening up to this world weary but novice in love man. Tommy is an exceptional man who after the initial shock embraces a friendship with Death and it isn’t long before the two step up their relationship, but they also take their time with the intimate side of things.

Sophie Bonaste has created a unique immortal world that seems to run more like a business, there are different departments up in heaven and it makes for an interesting story. You will love Death and Tommy as they embark on a relationship that should have been impossible, you will dread the moment when Death is given a devastating choice and you can’t help wondering if Sophie hasn’t hit the nail on the head with God. Although this story does have humor it also has some moments that have you fighting tears, Death’s job is brutal at times especially when it comes to natural disasters.

I recommend this if you love something a little different, a new take on heaven, a sweet love story, brilliant characters, hard choices and a beautiful ending.
