LitPick Review
Death’s Intern by D.C. Gomez is a captivating book that dives us deep into the world of the supernatural. Isis Black, a former military band player, left Brooklyn to become a waitress at a small restaurant in Texarkana after an accident that became her deepest secret. Texarkana, a small town in Texas, is known for being quiet, serene, and peaceful until homeless people strangely began going missing without a trace. The onus falls on Isis to uncover this mystery when her friend Bob also went missing, and Death came knocking to make her atone for her secret sin. But instead of a punishment, she was given a job opportunity as Death’s intern. Now, with the help of two other interns, Constantine and Batholomew, she navigates the supernatural world to find her friend and other missing people. Will this job make or mar her? What makes her so special to be chosen by Death to become her intern?
Opinion:
Death’s Intern, book one of The Intern Diaries written by D.C. Gomez, is one of those creative books that fuels the reader’s imagination. One thing I particularly enjoyed about the book is the character development. The characters are articulately crafted in written form. I love the fact that Death is portrayed uniquely to every individual, and this perspective sheds a new light on the fact that most people think death is a scary thing to every human. Meanwhile, our view of death might be different. To some it’s peaceful, to some it’s cruel. To some it’s cold, to some it’s calm. This made Death’s character a very poetic one. While reading the book, my heart went out to Isis' cause; no military background can prepare you for myths becoming your everyday reality. I absolutely enjoyed the author’s skillful switch from comic to combat. This made the book fun to read. I recommend this book to creatives who are looking to fuel their creativity. It’s a captivating read!!!!
