From the internationally bestselling author of The Atlas Six, Masters of Death is a queer, page-turning fantasy bursting with Olivie Blake's signature sharp wit, stunning prose and unforgettable characters.
*This edition features beautiful interior illustrations from Little Chmura and a never-seen-before short story, 'Brandt Solberg's Book of Worlds'*
'Olivie Blake is a mind-blowing talent' - Chloe Gong, author of These Violent Delights
This book is about an estate agent. Only she's a vampire, the house on sale is haunted, and its ghost was murdered.
When Viola Marek hires Fox D'Mora to deal with a ghost-infested mansion, she expects a competent medium. But unbeknownst to Viola, Fox is not a medium at all. He's a fraud - and the godson of Death.
As the mystery of the mansion unfolds, Viola and Fox are drawn into an unlikely quest that neither wants nor expects. They'll need the help of a demonic personal trainer, a steadfast reaper, and an angel with her own secrets. It transpires that an inconvenient dead body and a lost love are intrinsically linked. Can this coalition of unwilling allies solve this conundrum and un-haunt a house - by winning a devious immortal game?

Beautifully written found family- urban fantasy!!!!
A beautifully written, found-family urban fantasy with a love story that will break your heart and heal it at the same time! The story is the people who tell it! Incredibly complex but so lovely. And did I tell you we have queer love? WE HAVE QUEER LOVE!!!! If I ever write a love letter, I will look into this book for inspiration. Proof: "i would love him still, even if he left me again. i would love him through several lifetimes, i think, and i would love him in every world." "mayra, it's worth it," he begged. "a moment with you is far more worthwile than an eternity of paradise." "will you still love me, do you think? if we were ever to be old and grey." "yes," he said. "what kind of life could have ever been enough if i had never confessed that i would love you, fox, for every day that i walked this earth?" -

10/10! I'm DEADly serious
This is most definitely one of the best fantasy books, I read this year. The story is about a vampire real estate agent, trying to sell a house, which is obviously haunted by a grumpy ghost. The only way to help the ghost move on (or well get rid of), is contacting a medium, who also happens to be the Godson of Death. As this deeply layered story unfolds, we get fantastic dialogues between the characters and Olivie Blake definitely MASTERED the level of sarcasm. If you like a well written fantasy with complex storylines, thought-provoking phrases and amazing characters/creatures, than this is the one! -

"Things are so much sweeter when they have an ending; things are so much more painful when they can be ripped away."
How long is a lifetime when you're immortal? what does it mean to mourn time as not enough when forever is at your disposal? This book has such a unique writing-style with a ridiculous but complex plot, jumping from Death and his Godson making New Years resolutions to Creatures Anonymous meetings to an illegal gambling ring for immortals run by archangles. The story kept me constantly on my toes and wove an intricate web which had me lost at times only to button up lost thoughts very nicely in the next chapter. It toys with the idea of fate, immortality and independence, it's witty, smart, engaging and chaotic with amazing character dynamics and lots of banter, which made me laugh a lot and cry a little. -

There´s a game that the immortals play
Masters of Death is a novel as confusing as it is fantastic and funny as it is serious. You get not only Viola (a vampire real estate agent) and Fox (the godson of death), but also a support group of “creatures” including a demon that works as a personal trainer, a werewolf and a siren (among others). Together they want to banish Tom (a ghost who doesn´t know how he died) from the house Viola is desperately trying to sell. In doing so they come across some snarky archangels and end up in a tournament of a game the immortals play. A lyrically written and character driven novel, that I think deserves some more attention. -

Great story and awesome characters!...
Great story and awesome characters! The plot jumps between plot lines; this can sometimes be confusing. It's well written, and you uncover the story bit by bit. I can't tell you a lot about the plot, because everything I could say might be a spoiler.
