(free copy for review)

Blake lives with her single father and loves her life with her handsome boyfriend. But that all changes when tragedy strikes and she discovers she's the daughter of the Grim Reaper. Thrust into a world she doesn't know or want, Blake must come to terms with her loss and her new responsibilities.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story from start to finish. It has strong characters and world-building. Blake is a very strong female character without being a “bad-ass”. I love how she doesn't give in to her mother or her budding new relationship with Rishi quickly. She doesn't embrace her new life and, in fact, fights it until the end.

There are heart-wrenching scenes that had me bawling like a baby, actually, multiple times. It was sweet and funny. Nothing in this book seems forced or contrived. It has a well-developed plot and it flows as though Randall didn't come up with the story as she wrote.

There's a great jumping off point for the sequel and the ending doesn't leave you throwing the book against the wall because you have to wait for book two. Overall, it was a fantastic start to a new series from new author K. M. Randall, and I look forward to continuing on with Blake, Rishi and company in the (hopefully!) near future.
