Deathtrap: Book 1 of the Murder and Mayhem Series

by Jessica Threet Alexandra St Pierre

4.5

Lilith lives a cursed existence where every person she touches meets a sudden, tragic end. Haunted since birth, she spends her life fleeing from the relentless Grim Reaper who stalks her from the shadows. While he seems bent on destroying everyone she loves, he paradoxically refuses to let her take her own life, keeping her trapped in a cycle of isolation and grief. After four years of relative peace working as a bartender at a Voodoo Steakhouse, Lilith’s sanctuary shatters when a colleague dies in a gruesome accident. The familiar, suffocating presence of her shadowy companion returns, signaling that her reprieve is over. As she struggles to outrun her fate, she finds herself drawn into a dangerous, dark romance with the very entity she fears. Featuring a complex enemies-to-lovers dynamic, *Deathtrap* is a gripping paranormal rollercoaster that challenges the traditional lines between heaven and hell. This intense, deliciously dark tale pulls readers into an emotional storm of passion, betrayal, and high-stakes tension. With its unique lore and heart-wrenching twists, this story promises an addictive experience for those who enjoy dark, spicy narratives where the line between salvation and destruction is razor-thin.

I am caught in this trap!

Image 99: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars I am caught in this trap! Oh my gosh where to I even begin?! Death Trap was so good!!! It is one thiccc book but I cannot wait for Book 2 in the Murder & Mayhem series. If you like Dark Paranormal Romance that just so happens to be a Bully Romance too with Why Choose, Enemies to Lovers, Banter, Primal and so much more, then this book is for you! Without spoilers, in Death Trap, you meet Lilith who has had Death following her as long as she can remember, where anyone that touches her gets unalived. She has struggled with being alone her whole life and when she finally gets out on her own and begins working at a restaurant Voodoo, becoming kind of friends with Shem and Sam and her cat Chaos to come home to, she feels like her luck might be turning around because Death has left her alone for 4 years. But when Sam goes missing, her streak without seeing Death is up and on top of that her boss brings in Reaver as a new bartender and he is a downright awful to her. Reaver does everything in his power to belittle her and really tries to break her when he forces her to strike a reluctant alliance. But little does Lilith know there are secrets that are dying to be revealed and her life is about to change. My heart broke for Lilith throughout this story because she truly felt everything was her fault, with everyone being unalived around her, when she just wanted the pain to stop. And as much as the men pushed her to her breaking point, she hated how much they affected her and comes to want their affection. The men in this story love Lilith so much they punish her to protect her, in their own way, and are the epitome of touch her and ☠️ Please check the TWs before diving into this one.
