A bit cheesy, but that sort of things are forgivable in Fairy Tales and the story was undeniably more Fairy Tale than Fantasy. The story had quite a simple plot: a girl brushes with Death and gets the opportunity to learn the true meaning of Life.Keturah’s story is a perfect read to cheer your up. I read it while I was very ill and it definitely helped to feel better. There is something charming how everybody get their HEA in the end of the story.All the characters in the story are very nice, all of them very caring and kind. Especially Keturah herself.I only wish there were more Romance in the book. I hoped that it will have the ending that the story had, I was afraid she will choose Lord’s son instead of Lord Death… I was so glad she didn’t, but then it quite obvious from the title. I really realy love dark, brooding love interest. I think the ending was perfect and very romantic, especially the bit about Grandmother. But I wish the falling in love was a bit more developed, it felt somewhat out of nowhere. I think their interaction needed a bit more page time. But I can’t explain how happy I was for the love interest, and well for everybody. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A richly romantic, dark fairy tale! *by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2012* More than any other resident of her village of Tide-by-Rood, Keturah Reeve has walked with Death her whole life. Given life with her mother's final breaths, Keturah subsequently loses her father and beloved grandfather to the inexorable pull of Death, but not before she learns what it is she wants most in life -- to be well and truly loved. One day Keturah makes the fateful decision to follow a legendary and elusive hart deep into the woods, where, after wandering and lost for three days she reaches the brink of death and meets its fearsome lord. But unwilling to relinquish her dreams of love Keturah refuses to go quietly with the handsome Lord Death and strikes a daring bargain -- she spins a tale of a love so true it would conquer death, but refuses to reveal the story's conclusion until the following evening. Lord Death, much taken with Keturah's beauty and spirit, agrees to this most unconventional arrangement. And so begins Keturah's delicate dance with Death as she strives to save her village from the threat of plague and realize the dreams of her heart -- but will her desire for true love blind her to its very presence?Keturah and Lord Death is a richly compelling, darkly seductive fairy tale, at once both comfortingly familiar and hauntingly original, this is a tale that will remain with you long after you finish the final pages. With a poetic, lyrical style reminscent of Robin McKinley's fairy tale retellings, Leavitt spins the brave Keturah's story, recalling hints of Persephone and Scheherezade legends. Similar to Hades's power in the Persephone tale or the volatile King who holds Scheherezade's future in his hands, Lord Death is all-powerful, the great equalizer before whom both peasant and prince will one day bow alike. Like many of my favorite literary romances, an unlikely heroine unexpectedly discovers she holds the key to a seemingly untouchable man's heart. What makes this novel so compelling is the truly all-powerful nature of man Keturah faces, and the decision she must make when she quite unexpectedly discovers that she's become the object of Lord Death's desire. When Keturah's relationship with the most feared and loathed entity of all comes to light, she's faced with a choice and must decide if the cost of following her own heart's call is worth the risk of estrangement from the only life she's ever known.In addition to the deliciously atypical romance, the greatest strength of this novel lies in its setting and colorful cast of supporting characters. Leavitt doesn't burden readers with an overabundance of historical fact, instead briefly touching on the superstitions and lifestyle of the Middle Ages time period -- just enough to ground her story while allowing it to retain its glorious fairy tale feel. And I adored Keturah's two best friends, the songbird Beatrice and seamstress Gretta and how Keturah proves instrumental in helping them attain their own happy endings. I particularly loved Gretta's romance with the gentle tailor and how his children were instrumental in bringing the couple together. It is wonderful to see such a network of sweetly supportive, self-sacrificing friendship in young adult literature of this type, and equally heart-rending to witness Keturah's growing realization that as she becomes the woman she's meant to be, her relationships must undergo irrevocable change.Keturah and Lord Death was a delightful surprise, a gorgeously-rendered coming-of-age fairy tale, rich in romance and imagination. Were Leavitt to pen more tales in this vein I would be ecstatically happy -- this is a strong, fresh voice in the fantasy genre. Keturah's growing realization that the treasures of life are enriched by their transience, that the only constant in life is change, is a powerful reminder of the gift of life and choice. This is a story to savor! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet & Bittersweet--Both are necessary in life *by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2017* This one kept me up well into the night, wondering how it was going to end (which says it all right there, really--any book that I can't quite see where the ending is going until the last few pages is a keeper in my book). Not that this is a mystery story in ANY way; the cover, the synopsis, the title...it's all right there, folks. But author Leavitt did such a wonderful job weaving Keturah's love of life vs. her newfound appreciation of the role of Death that I did feel for a while that her ultimate romantic choice could go either way ("life" hero vs. Lord Death). The villagers were winsomely depicted, with names like "Tailor" and "Choirmaster" that reminded me just a bit of Rose Daughter by Robin McKinley--another point that did this book no harm in my eyes. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/134307973-keturah-and-lord-death-kindle-edition](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/134307973-keturah-and-lord-death-kindle-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
