Blurb:
Cendall, history’s first female Grim Reaper, has until her eighteenth birthday to prove she’s worthy of the role. The only obstacle in her way are those pesky Guardian Angels who protect human souls, but Cendall is certain she can handle any Guardian who gets in her way. However, nothing could have prepared Cendall for Lacie—a soul that is protected by multiple Guardians, wanted by Demons, and, most startling of all, can see Cendall.
Cendall uses every trick in the book to try and slip past Lacie’s Guardians and collect her soul, but a Demon interferes at the last moment. In the chaos, Cendall accidently saves Lacie’s soul, along with one of the injured Guardians. Realizing Cendall fears termination for her mistake, the Guardian blackmails her with an offer she can’t refuse: in exchange for his silence, Cendall must keep Lacie’s soul safe from the Demon, until he recovers from his injuries.
Cendall agrees—with the intention of checking Lacie’s soul off her list, the instant the Guardian is healed. But as the three of them are forced to work together, Cendall begins to question why Lacie is wanted by the Demons and if her name actually belonged on Cendall’s list in the first place...
4.5 Stars
Cendall is the only one of her kind, a female reaper she's had to prove herself capable all her life and now she's finally ready for her first assignment on Earth. Too bad things didn't go according to plan and a soul on her list is one she realizes she never should have gotten, but now has to find a way to deal with. Lacie can see her and that's crazy enough, but then there's all the guardians protecting her and demons after her so what is she gonna do now that she accidentally saved her and is being blackmailed by an injured guardian into helping protect her. This isn't the way her first year out of reaper school was supposed to go but now there's no going back.
Cendall is an awesome heroine, she can take care of herself and is determined to prove herself even when so many people are against her. She's strong and fearless and does what she has to do without complaint. Seeing her journey throughout you watch her learn and want her to succeed in what she's doing and prove that she's just as good, if not better, than the guys.
The story line was fresh and interesting keeping you engrossed with every page and wanting to know more and more about the world the author created. Everything came to life and was well explained so you were never left wondering about what type of paranormals were what. You get sucked into the story and feel like you're right there with the characters as the story unravels. This was a GREAT start to a new series and I'm excited to see more of it to come!
