Grim Reapers. Next big Young Adult Paranormal craze? Though I never imagined myself saying this before, but I think I'd be open to that, if this book is any indication. It was nice to read something new that wasn't vampires, werewolves, angels, or aliens. Still, no book is perfect, and there were de...

Lex turned her scythe over in her hands once more, unable to take her eyes off it. “It’s amazing.” “And so dark, too,” said Zara. “I’ve never seen one that dark before.” Uncle Mort rolled his eyes. “So it’s agreed, the scythe is totally dreamy.” He stood up and grinned that unglued smile again. “But...

Phenomenal in practically every way. I loved Lex and Driggs and LexandDriggs and Uncle Mort and the town and the humor and the fact that it reminded me of Dead Like Me. Half star deduction for the crazy names and the cliffhanger ending, but even without a full five stars, it's my favorite read so ...

*Genre* Young Adult*Rating* 4.0*My Thoughts*“Three simple rules for getting rid of tourists: Lie, Deny, and Bleed ‘em dry.”When 3 out of 4 of your friends tell you to read Croak now and that if you don't you’ll be sorry, you tend to listen to them for fear of them coming to your house and dragging y...

2.5 stars.Okay, fair warning. I had a really long in depth review written up and my computer killed it. Sooo this review might be missing some stuff and/or all-over-the-place. I tried.After much deliberation, I gave it 2.5. I mean, it wasn't great. It wasn't fantastic. Lex was super annoying for the...

I saw this book here, read the blurb, and immediately wanted it. And what a trip it was. Reapers, only not like you know them. I laughed a whole lot of times, the girl has a great attitude, and she needs that attitude since some people didn't like her being there. I loved Uncle Mort, he was awesome....

First I liked the cover, then I liked the idea in the book and what it was about, Grimm Reapers, scythes and black hoodies and finally I could not withstand anymore and bought a copy.What a great read! I got sucked in immediately and couldn't let go of it. I devoured the book within hours. I haven't...

4.5 Stars! Check out this review on our blog!My obsession with grim reapers all began with Rachel Vincent's Soul Screamers series that features a snarky grim reaper by the name of Tod. He is portrayed as a guy who is willing to sacrifice anything for the ones he loves, even if it involves bending so...

I've been in a bit of a slump regarding books, having a really hard time finding something that really drew me in and held my attention (seriously, I have four that I've started and set aside just in the last couple of days). That was cured by Croak; I started this book and didn't even THINK about r...
