Review

“So maybe we can just enjoy ourselves, you know? Have weird sex and, I dunno, solve crimes. Together,”

That quote pretty much sums up a perfect HEA.

Two ghosts, an unusual and intriguing way to gain energy, and a serial killer roaming the streets of London.

This was a super interesting story with so many layers and intricacies. It was dark with some questionable morals but it was also passionate with a lovely ending.

Their path was tumultuous. Not just because Gethin was so angry about his death, but also his difficulty in understanding Patrick and his choices on how to ‘live’. But the journey was emotionally satisfying and really made you think big thoughts. Morals, existence, choices, religion….

I was definitely captivated.

Synopsis

It all sounds so simple: help Gethin stop a serial killer. Then Gethin will leave him alone and go ‘on’ into death. And Patrick can get on with his mission: to leave limbo in the other direction. Backwards, into life...

Repressed ex-priest Patrick died centuries ago. Now he roams London, feeding on men, building energy for a second chance at life and love. Emotions cost energy, so he avoids them.

Fun-loving Welshman Gethin struggles with anger after his violent murder. The only thing he’s ever committed to, dead or alive, is stopping his killer before he kills again. But he's failing.

Purely to be rid of him, Patrick agrees to help. But as the clock runs down and emotions get messy, will their deal cost more than either of them intend?

The Neverloving Dead contains strong horror and er0ticism, ghostly rules, ghastly deaths, Welsh idioms, multiples and an ecclesiastical auctioneer. It’s dark. You’ve been warned.
