Review: Die and Let Live
Die and Let Live by Keiko Alvarez
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
F/f stories always make it onto my radar because they are far and few between. With Ms. Alvarez, it's going to be a trip because I know there will be sex. And how! Nora Cole is a divorced female restoring her newly purchased home. It comes complete with a ghost. This ghost is the sexy and mischievous Evelyn.
This is a niche fetish - sex with a ghost, mixing it up with girl on girl action and ménage. From an erotic perspective, Ms. Alvarez hits it on the nail like always. From a story perspective, it's a complete WTF-ery. Not sure what I just read and I blinked several times at the end. The way the plot develops makes sense, it's just a bit bizarre which makes me wonder about Ms. Alvarez's sanity. I'm not saying she's crazy. I do like the way her mind works. It's different and refreshing. I know going into her books, I'm going to get something completely wacky and off the wall. Honestly, that's why I read her books. Okay, I lied. I read it for the sex and then the wackiness.
This one didn't appeal to me as much. Not because it lacked enough graphic sex. More like I couldn't connect with the characters. The ending seemed a bit odd as the author wrote herself into it. I'm not sure if this is a sign of megalomania or an act of genius. Either way, it does reconfirm this author is a bit off her rocker and that's how I like it. Recommended for f/f erotica readers.

BTW I often write myself into my books, just not by name.
