AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER

"This is not a light, fluffy, pamper-the-heroine confection: This is a messy, dangerous, gorgeously evocative treat." —The New York Times Book Review

“I'm obsessed.” —Ali Hazelwood

What my eyes are showing me can’t be possible. Can’t be real. Because if they are, then I have to accept that Julian Conrad has been alive for a very long time.

Too long to be human.

A stay-up-all-night, smart, spicy romance following a doctor who finds herself falling for an alluring, much-younger man with a deadly secret

Sean’s not in the market for love. The only female, let alone Black, interventional cardiologist at her hospital, she’s watched too many of her male colleagues divorce their first wives to marry younger models—and then there’s the abusive relationship she’s spent the better part of her early 30s healing from. Her passions are reserved for her best friend, her goddaughter, and her job.

Then she meets Julian. Brooding, beautiful and eleven years her junior. In short: A bad idea.

Julian pursues her in a way that sets off alarm bells in her mind, but she finds herself unable to resist their undeniable chemistry—even starts fantasizing about him in dreams that feel altogether too real. They also have a lot in common despite their age gap. So, to hell with it: If men can date younger, why can’t she? But the more Sean gets to know him, the more impossible Julian seems: He has a depth and sorrow to him that’s beyond his years, and sometimes there’s a look in his eyes that’s less than human, and leaves her feeling more like prey. Plus, Sean herself has been exhibiting odd symptoms—memory lapses, a lack of restraint that's unlike her, persistent exhaustion—that all trace back to Julian, making Sean feel more than a little afraid. Who—or what—is she falling, irrevocably, in love with?

Extraordinarily transfixing, suspenseful, and addictive, Die for Me is nothing short of a seduction.

Tropes:
- paranormal romance
- age-gap
- mortal/immortal
- forbidden love

Jamie’s review

YEP! That's a big yes for me! I loved everything about this book. THIS is storytelling. Wow!

Sean is a 38 year old cardiologist and becomes entranced by the younger, mysterious Julian whom she meets at a wedding.

When strange things start happening to Sean and those around her, she pieces together who and what Julian really is 😈

Can she solve the puzzle in time before she and her loved ones meet their approaching end?

Finally, a dark, paranormal, spicy romance with a mature, Black FMC. It was so refreshing!

The writing, the characters, the suspense, the reflection on our own mortality, CHEF'S KISS.

So, so good. I want more!
