It all depends on perspective - the Book of Life is the book of the righteous, the Book of the Dead is the book of the impure. In religious tradition God inscribes the names in each. Since this was an angel, I saw it more as the inscribing of the person's name in a book of those that had died, or a book of death.

Is this something of the Catholic faith?

The concepts of a Book of Life and a Book of the Dead is common to both Judaism and Christianity. You can read more about it here... [link]
