The last 25% felt rushed. Parts left unexplained. Despite this, this was satisfying. Premise alone was intriguing - Death adopts a child. The writing is warm, poetic. The relationships felt earnest and relatable. A worthwhile read. 4/5 ⭐️ #booksky #thethirteenthchild

You know that feeling when you read an amazing book, and you don’t have anyone to talk to about it? UGGHH. #thethirteenthchild is sooo gooooood. #booksky

Death adopts a child - thirteenth from an impoverished family desperate to relieve themselves of another mouth to feed. This child is special (duh), and Death raises her to be a healer with a catch. I was already sold on the premise. 40% in and I’m very much invested. #booksky #thethirteenthchild

"The Thirteenth Child" by Erin A. Craig is a retelling of the fairytale "Godfather Death" and is a mix of romance, gothic horror and fantasy as it follows a young healer named Hazel. #bookrecommendations #tbrlist #fantasy #erinacraig #thethirteenthchild #gothic #fiction

The cover of The Thirteenth Child, by Erin Craig, shows an ominous, candlelight staircase. Around the cover in this image are a collection of tropes: Dark fairytale retelling, a brooding playboy prince, candle-lit, slow-burn romance, a king on his deathbed, impossible bargains with ruthless gods, glittering Gothic realms, enemies to lovers, and a masquerade ball.

I'm happy to be taking part in the cover reveal for Erin Craig's upcoming novel #TheThirteenthChild, retelling the Grimm Brothers' Godfather Death! This looks like so much fun.
