#AudiobookReview: Death's Daughter by S.A. Barnes

Book Cover
Synopsis: DELUXE EDITION—a beautiful hardcover featuring sprayed edges, a foil case stamp and designed endpapers.

The steamy mythology of Neon Gods meets dark academia in this contemporary romance from USA Today bestselling author S.A. Barnes.

Jocasta’s carved out a normal life at Beecher University—well, as normal as possible with a name like Jocasta and being the only child of Death.

She has good friends and a messy situationship with her former TA. But her friends, her crush, and her classmates don’t know the truth about who—what—she is. They would be horrified to discover Jo must feed to survive—and she feeds on them. But she refuses to take lives, feasting instead on their disappointments, failures, and rejections. It’s not a perfect system, but it works. 

Until a sexy stranger—and descendant of Lust—shows up on campus because Death just named Jo as his successor, making her a powerful ally and a massive target. 

Jo’s safe little bubble is about to burst, but she will do anything to protect the people she loves. Even if it means becoming what she hates…

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

My Review:
This audiobook just didn’t work for me and ended up being a DNF. The premise had so much potential with dark academia and mythology vibes, but I couldn’t connect with the execution or the characters. I kept waiting for it to pull me in, but it never really clicked, and I lost interest pretty quickly. The narration was fine, but it couldn’t save the story for me. Not my read.
