Can a watch define who someone is? Sure it can show off your wealth, style, and status, but can it exude bravery? Fearlessness? Cassius Seven, better known as Death Watch, can. 

Built into its luxurious band are seven deadly knives that will sever the wearer’s artery and cause, you guessed it, death. It’s the watch that tells time and stops it. And all Coe Vessel has to do is convince people to buy it. 

Death Watch isn’t typically what I go for and probably not something I would pick on my own, but it did keep me engaged. It’s a look at consumer culture going awry that’s part thriller, part mystery, and definitely a slow burn. The characters were built up well and the plot kept moving along. So I guess that begs the question, are you brave enough—or maybe crass enough—to put on the Death Watch?

Death Watch is available March 7th, 2023. Thank you to Wunderkind PR for the #arc! ⌚️🔪
