Title: Death's Daughter Author: Amber Benson Genre: Urban Paranormal Fantasy Rating: 2 or 5 Stars (Dual rating, I'll explain) Description/Synopsis: Calliope Reaper-Jones so just wanted a normal life: buying designer shoes on sale, dating guys from Craig’s List, web-surfing for organic dim-sum for h...
I'm not sure I can read more of this series if Calliope doesn't change. I think she was extremely whiny and immature. And if I have to hear another thing about clothes or crying over everything, then she better be more adult like or I'm nixing this series. Will have to read some reviews before I mak...
Fans of TV's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" will probably enjoy this one. I believe Miss Benson (who played Tara) mentioned on her blog that she took inspiration from being on the show when writing this story. I found the book enjoyable, but not that memorable. OK, maybe a couple grotesque images will s...
I wanted to read this because... A) Sally thought it was funny. B) The author starred as Tara on Buffy. This is NOT a bad book. She has a nice voice and builds a relatively interesting world. So why not finish it? Callie is an obnoxious twit. Normally, I might overlook this problem, but I ba...

Calliope Reaper-Jones is the very, very real version of a chick with an attitude, and it doesn't always come off very well. In fact, I had a hard time wondering what they ma...
I'm not sure if I didn't love this because it was narrated by Amber Benson and I found her character voices annoying; or if it was the character of Calliope that I didn't care for. I suspect it was a little of both. Amber Benson may be a good actress (loved her on Buffy) but she doesn't make a good...
Great concept, a few nice ideas. Writing is obvious, no flair. Characters lackluster. Sorry, not at all my sort of story. Still, a lot of potential in the idea. Would like to see it revisited.
Calli has been living in New York for the last few years and has no memory of her family having used a forgetting charm so she could escape and live her own life. However when her father and older sister are kidnapped Callie has no choice but to go home and take over the family business. Before th...
