"Her humming never stopped, flowing from the hole in her throat" - Death Becomes Her by Ina Harrington, Available on Kindle Unlimited and Amazon

Rose Walker has always been able to see the dead. Determined to leave that part of her life behind, she accepts a scholarship to Banecroft University in England, far from her small, judgmental Colorado town. No one there knows about her gift – or the past she’s desperate to forget. But when Rose’s roommate, Eleanor, dies under mysterious circumstances, her new beginning shatters. Haunted by Eleanor’s ghost and missing memories from the night of her death, Rose doesn’t know if her friend’s spirit seeks answers – or revenge. In this supernatural mystery of self- discovery, first love, and ancient magic, Rose must question everything she thought she knew about her abilities and herself, and face the hardest question of all: Was it my fault, again?

"Dealing with the dead is so much easier than the living. The dead are straightforward. While we think they hold secrets, they, more than anyone else, want those secrets to be exposed, revealed. They want their stories told. The living, on the other hand, would do anything to hide their true nature and intentions, always hiding some ulterior motive." – Death Becomes Her by Ina Harrington

DEATH BECOMES HER is a paranormal murder mystery that features a mix of clean romance, occasional naughty language, and grotesque horror elements, set in an elite British University. A fast-paced story of first loves, rediscovery, and magic.

The book proof actually looks so good! I was sure I messed up somewhere, because nothing ever gets done the first time, but so far it's perfect.

I only wish it didn't have the stupid line in the middle!😩

To-go cup with Costa Coffee, a bitten lemon muffin, a hand-written notebook with keyword research and graphs, and a black pen, on a table looking over a lovely sunny British morning.

If you see this, have a lovely day, potential friend! 🌞

Nothing tastes better than an overpriced coffee and a discounted lemon muffin.

Now go back to work! Oh, wait... that was towards me. 😅 Ignore me!

Finished Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater. One more, and I'm done with the Raven Cycle series, but I feel I need a stand-alone book by someone else like a palette cleanser.
So, time to read my first Naomi Novik book – Uprooted.

A quote from Death Becomes Her by Ina Harrington: "I loved my brother so much, but we differed in many ways. He was impulsive, while I preferred to overthink. He was social and friendly, while I liked to keep to myself. He was athletic and confident, while I was shy and anxious. I would always choose doodling with hot chocolate under a cosy blanket over running aimlessly around town in the freezing mornings. But most importantly, he was terrified of ghosts, while I found them far more agreeable than the living."

Did you know my main character Rose Walker has a twin brother Tyler? Everyone (including Rose) thinks they are so different, but in reality they're more alike than they think.

Yeah... Google Docs, we are breaking up. It's not me. It's you.

Good job! I'm proud of you ❤️

Hubby had a day in London for work, which meant I had no excuse to not get shit done.

And yet....

My idea was suppose to be an overexaggerated dystopian fantasy, but by the time I publish it might be seen as reflection of reality. 😔

Behind-the-scene politics plays a heavy part in my world. Privilege, elitism, and raw power represented in the university system. Mages are the wealthy people you don't know by name, but have enough to sway governments and win elections.
