"I can't live with myself. I want to forget."
    
    In a world where humans have existed over a billion years, higher beings called gods and goddesses roam. Meet Death, the cold, slightly introverted god who has had a crush on Life for the past 750 million years. He knows she will never reciprocate, but loves her anyway. After having his heart broken by her unwittingly over and over again, he is finally presented a chance to get closer to her, but as their relationship develops, he realizes that the secrets he keeps from her could very well rip her apart and tear her away from him forever.
    
    Friendship is supposed to be built on love and trust, not secrets and lies. What happens when the brutal truth shreds reality?
  
  Amazing cover made by @sun-tan-aka, thank you!

Death Is My BFFLAD (Book Two Original Series) by katrocks247
24 parts Complete
(Bfflad- Best friends for life and death) Dear Reader, Let's start at the beginning shall we? I died. Oh no, not one of these stories again where someone angelic and heroic saves the damsel in distress. If only I was that lucky. My heart stopped beating. My lungs stopped working, my soul began to lift away... And then I was saved by a beautiful man with a kind heart and sparkles sprinkled around his head in a golden halo. A cunning, dazzling smile etched his angled features and his hair lay perfectly on his head like...black, sinful layers of pure cynical distrusting evil. Evil that was just waiting to onset a innocent girl as myself and allow her a short amount of time of happiness, and then finish her off when she became older. I'll give you a hint. The beginning of that description was slightly exaggerated. The Angel of Death. One of the only creatures known that was capable of settling the boundaries of heaven on earth. The only creature capable of making one of the Devil's darkest deals to my loving mother; a second chance for her daughter. This comes with consequences of course. Everything you know about Death is wrong. Death is not natural, Death is not normal, Death is not doleful, and Death is far from mercenary. Death blends into the shadows like coal against the most atramentous sky. Death walks the earth with his cursed, monstrous and exotic features, his enticing voice and betraying alluring eyes. Death deceives, scratches, and plays with your mind, until you slowly and painfully loose your grip on reality. He'll make you believe he's a different person, that there's a sliver hope for him. Hope for you. Death is close. Forever and always, Faith Williams ************ DIMBFF FAN CLUB ON FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1605057011183.80718.1378871754&type=1#!/groups/308207282529485/ **** MY WRITING PAGE!

The Gifts of Mortality by eleanorkennedy14
41 parts Complete
The gods have no pity for humans and their impermanence. Why would they care for lives measured in years, when time marches into millennia for them? The immortals stay in their city. The humans remain in their parts of the world. That is until a human terrorist group gains control over the Goddess of Death, forcing her to kill their enemies and increase their power. All immortals keep their backs turned on humanity. Except Samil, the God of Festivals and the Arts. Samil knows he isn't very powerful among his kind. Or important. Or confident. Yet, when he learns that the humans are desperate, he chooses to do a deceptively simple thing: Help them. ___________________________________ @Voyageavecmoi was kind enough to write this review of my book and she described it 100x better than I ever could lol. With her permission, I'm posting it below. Also, check out her book "Flight Risk." It's a sweet and deep romance about two characters negotiating their feelings for each other while life is doing everything to tear them apart. The characters have such mature conversations and, there's no reliance on the miscommunication trope at all. I'm *obsessed.* If you enjoy intriguing fantasy novels with deep and thoughtful themes, check out 'The Gifts of Mortality' by @eleanorkennedy14 . It explores the concept of mortality and how it gives life meaning through the eyes of both gods and humans. The story follows Samil, the god of the Festivals and the Arts, who is shocked by the apathy of his fellow gods when a human terrorist group gains control over the Goddess of Death. Despite finding no support among his kind, he's determined to help the humans, which sets him down an interesting course. There are lots of great twists in this novel, and I also loved seeing how queerness was worked in throughout both the immortal and mortal realms. Samil is a sweet and refreshing character to root for who is determined to see the good in the world.

Every girl desires three things in her life: a loyal best friend, top-tier grades, and a flawless romance However, fate loves to throw unexpected curves. Instead of a tragic tale, I simply craved a sweet fairytale with a happily ever after. In the aftermath of Audrey's death. Life became a series of storms. I encountered new faces, weathered the challenges, and even found myself a wonderful boyfriend. Yet, just when the warmth of happiness touched my fingertips, the storyline unexpectedly shifted, revealing another layer of complexity. Dating the most popular guy from school feels like a dream fulfilled, but am I truly happy? I always believed I was the good girl with good grades, only to unveil buried desires-longings to be chased, tamed, and tied Entwined in a world where light dances with darkness, and villains lurk in the shadows. A single doubt, and I've sabotaged my fate with my own hands. The desires I once craved in the shadows have become dangerous-risks of my own creation. Now, dreaming is no longer an option; all I can do is run. In the twisted dance of fate, I never planned to entangle with a psychopath. No girl dreams of such darkness, yet our meeting felt like a forbidden ritual, and every touch, a dangerous spell. His winter-grey eyes held a mysterious allure that captivated me, but little did I know, staring into them would unleash a storm of trouble. Now, I'm pursued by a relentless predator who sees me as his lost love, a perilous game where escape seems impossible. Stuck in his tight grasp, there's no getting away from Carson Winter Grey. Hiding is useless; he's like a really creepy guy-obsessed, toxic, and great at messing with your head. You can't shake off his looming threat. He's not just a bad dream; he's the kind that sticks around. Before anxiety takes over, his name becomes the scream you can't hold back.
