Book description
October 12, 2023
I had to pause the audiobook at 3:17 a.m. last night. Not because it was scary-though Death's voice definitely gave me chills-but because I couldn't bear to miss a single word of Existence. Abbi Glines has done it again, but this time, she's woven something utterly unexpected into the fabric of a love story.
I'll admit, I was skeptical at first. Falling for Death? Sounds like a cliché waiting to happen. But then I heard the narrator-oh, the narrator. That smooth, low voice for Death, all velvet and quiet intensity? It wasn't just a voice; it felt like the sound of fate itself leaning close. When he says, "You see me. Finally, you see me," over the crackle of a distant picnic table, I had to hit pause. Just to breathe.
Pagan's world is so real in this audio format. You hear the rustle of her school uniform, the quiet panic in her voice when she realizes she's not just seeing ghosts-she's seeing him. And he's not a ghost. He's... something else. The way the narrator builds that tension, the way Death's lines drip with a dangerous, almost playful warmth while Pagan's voice trembles with disbelief? It's not just a story. It's a heartbeat you can feel in your chest.
What I love most is how Glines makes the impossible feel intimate. You're not just hearing about Pagan ignoring souls-you're there, in her head, as she tries to pretend the guy on the picnic table isn't real. And then he speaks. That moment? It's like the first note of a song you've been waiting your whole life to hear. The narrator nails it: Pagan's shock isn't loud. It's quiet. A gasp you almost miss. And Death? He's not menacing. He's... curious. Interested.
I've read so many romance audiobooks where the love interest is just a voiceover. But here? Death feels alive. The narrator gives him layers-humor, sorrow, a kind of weary hope. When he says, "You don't fear me," it's not a threat. It's a revelation. And Pagan? She's not a damsel. She's sharp, observant, and fiercely human. You root for her not because she's perfect, but because she's real, even when she's arguing with a soul who's literally Death.
The audiobook's pacing is perfect. It doesn't rush the slow burn, letting every glance, every unspoken word hang in the air. The sound design? Subtle-like the distant hum of a school bus or the way Pagan's breath catches when Death steps closer. It's immersive without being distracting. You forget you're listening. You're in Pagan's world.
And that ending? Oh. I replayed it twice. Not because I was confused, but because it left me breathless. The narrator's delivery of Death's final line-"I've been waiting for you to look at me"-wasn't just a line. It was a promise. A quiet, devastating thing that stayed with me long after the chapter ended.
I know some might call it a "dark romance" trope, but Glines twists it into something fresh. This isn't about fear. It's about connection. About two people-one of whom shouldn't exist-finding something real in the space between life and the things we can't see.
Last night, I listened to the scene where Pagan finally sees Death for what he is, and I realized: I'd been holding my breath the whole time. That's how good this audiobook is. It doesn't just tell a story. It makes you feel it. And I'm already counting the minutes until I can listen to it again.
