I do believe this is the first Indie Author book I have devoured in only two days. It was so well written, I honestly just couldn't put it down! I also couldn't wait to finish it because I knew I would love to review it.
{via Amazon Kindle}
Death guides souls to the afterlife, but she's so much more than just the Grim Reaper. She hates to be called that, BTW! And yes! Death is a she! She has a special name that she only let's close friends call her, but not to be confused with the Greek mythology by the same name.
She can only be seen by those who are on the brink of death, but one night while reaping she is seen by someone who is living. Curious and wanting to know more of why Father Dominic can see her, she takes him. Someone wants her to take him and keep him safe, and she needs to find out why.
She's written beautiful. A take no shit type of woman, just like you would imagine Death to be. The dialogue in this book is so well crafted, so well written. It's witty and memorable. Death is given human, tangible emotions which help us to connect with her. But she's still a total bad ass.
I love the backstory of Audrey. This book really has it all. Death, Biblical backstories, slave trade backstories, deceit, and betrayal. Revenge is my favorite, and I love knowing that certain characters get their just deserved.
Death has rules, strict rules that must not be broken, but of course rules are made to be broken. No one is to intervene in a death, and reapers are not to know when their family members are going to die. When a reaper finds out and tries to save their family member, a mystery of treachery and lies unfold and Death must get to the bottom of it.
But how deep does the betrayal go in her ranks? I absolutely cannot wait to read book 2 when it releases!
