For as little time as I have to read, this series is like book crack. That’s not to say I don’t immensely enjoy every little bit of these stories-on the contrary, I actually devour these. “Touché.” He flashed a goofy grin as Uncle Mort shoved him into his room and slammed the door. “You never touched a boob before I came here either.” Driggs whispered to Lex out of the side of his mouth as they walked, “I never got grounded before you came here.”

And, to top it all off, all my wonderful friends and reviewers on GR have written reviews for book three that are nothing if not painfully clear on who or what is knocking on death’s doorstep (again, no pun intended). Not only are Lex and Driggs continually being threatened, they are constantly getting hurt. We are starting to see main characters hacked and slashed and its getting harder and harder to pretend that something bad might not be coming….because I’m not so sure anymore.

He smiled back and kissed the top of her head. But, and this is a large but, I am beginning to see how this might not be such a light and fluffy series.

Though this sparkling desert oasis is full of luxuries and amusements, it feels like a prison to Lex. To escape the townspeople’s wrath, she and her friends embark on a wild road trip to DeMyse. But after inadvertently transferring her ability to Zara, a murderous outlaw, Lex is a pariah in Croak, the little town she calls home. That makes her pretty scary, even to fellow Grims. Sixteen-year-old Lex Bartleby is a teenage grim reaper with the bizarre ability to damn souls.
