Reviver: A Novel
Bring me back,from death's decay.
There are some things
I need to say.
Don't let my death,
be your downfall.
Don't cry for me.
No tears at all.
Celebrate my life.
The good, the strive.
In my heart did you dwell.
Goodbye to you.
My sweet,
Farewell.
by Nikki
This is one of those reads where you wish another author would have written it, put their brand on it. The concept of human beings who can revive the dead (Revivers) to say their goodbyes, tell how they were killed, or who murdered them is great.
It takes a toll on the Revivers and they need time to recuperate. Lately though, one Reviver, Jonah, is having remnant memories. Memories from the dead that stay with him even after the dead have been laid to rest for the final time.
Something evil is waiting to be set free and only Revivers can do it.
Sound great, right?
Sorry. Poor execution and some bland characters make this read slow and unsatisfying.
The ending was also left open for a continuation.
