Taken By Death
When I find out my twin brother only has weeks to live, I beg the universe to take me instead. I didn’t mean it. Or maybe I did…
But the last thing I expect is for Death himself to show up in my house, insisting that if I give him my soul and become his bride, he’ll spare my brother.
It feels impossible at first, but as I watch my brother suffer, I know I have to make a choice. And when it turns out that Death has been watching me longer than I thought, nothing will ever be the same.

Ay.
Se me ha hecho una lectura interesante, pero no me declaro fan de este tipo de “monstruo” en romance. No entiendo. Tiene su carisma, creo que es de mis personajes de fantasía favoritos, pero en literatura erotica… hay cosas que no es necesario, al menos para mi. De verdad.

“No. Open your eyes. I want you to look at me as I take your soul. I want to watch your eyes as you clench around me.”
Holy crap this was good...I didn't expect to love this so much but a grim reaper with a shape shifting peen and unlimited possibilities? I'll take two lmao
This was actually so funny and entertaining. I can see this getting someone out of a slump. I rarely give short stories 5 stars but this one is well deserved for sure!
emotions: 😢😮😅🤔😳❗️☺️
spice:🌶🌶🌶/5
Cw: Dubcon, death (off page), mentions child/infant death (off page)
themes: dirty talk, plot twist, skeleton/reaper x human, shape shifting shadow peen

Mood
I am in a mood,and nothing feels right,so I probably shouldn't be writing reviews,but I also feel like it's courteous? My mood messed up my enjoyment of this book,but I CAN say it wasn't a bad read,just not what I needed. Interesting concept though. So while I'm not giving it 5 stars,I'm not saying it ISN'T a five star read to the right reader,and I am ABSOLUTELY not giving it one star either. Just a solid rating for a decent story.

Wow just wow
This was such a good read. I wish it wasn't so short but I seriously don't have any complaints besides that. I devoured this book and the scenes with Death and Sadie.
It's been maybe an hour since I started reading and finished the book now I want to read it all over again!

I enjoyed this story a lot. I’ve read a few grim reaper romance novellas and novels before but never one quite like this. I loved the past lives angle, but I’m sad she couldn’t remember them once she was there with him. Overall this was a very good novella.

Taken by death
I’ve never read a book like this but it turns out I’m glad I did it took me by surprise that it was so good death always loved her all through the centuries and now they are together forever I highly recommend this short read with a weird happy ending thanks to the author Winter Randall for sharing

meh…
Found it on TikTok and it sounded like an interesting book. Was not expecting it to have so little of a story…. A few typos here and there. Not really impressed but it was okay.

Short and Spicy
So good. Short and spicy with a beautiful story. I even teared up a little. I know I’ll be re-reading this many times.

I wanted to love this so bad, but it fell so flat to me. I personally wouldn’t want his ass after tricking me into death, but to each their own.

Good short read
Really enjoyed this short read. Good dark book that isn't long and good story that isn't dragged out. Definitely going on my recommendation list to my sister.

I found this story short bit absolutely beautiful. I was emotional. It was so heattfelt. I'd love it if there was a prequil or longer version of some of the things Death had explained.

kinda sweet
Quick read but still sweet and kinda gives obsessive vibes. But like soft obsessive. I like that it did a little time skip at the end though

2.5* I've to to say this is my least favourite book from winter randall. I hate to say it but it felt sloppy and lazy and like the author is going backwards and not getting better with each book.
