DESCRITPION: 

A talking cat, a boy genius, missing people, and an untrained Intern for Death. What could possibly go wrong?

Did that really happen?

There’s no way Death offered me a job. I’m a musician that makes her living as a waitress, with absolutely no training in the supernatural world. This is all a very bad dream.

But Bob has been kidnapped, and I can’t possibly lose the only friend I have.

Bob, you’d better be alive. Because if I just gave my soul to Death for nothing, I will personally kill you. Not to mention, it seems Death’s Interns have fairly short life expectancies.

God, don’t let me die.

MY REVIEW:

The cover alone deserves 5-stars as it’s amazing.  Then, there’s the story. 

What I liked – This is a fast-paced tale with relatable characters.  I could see myself in Isis’ shoes as bad luck follows me too.  And who doesn’t love adorable cats?  Though Constantine might be more than most people could handle.  I thought it an interesting concept that Death’s appearance changes based on each person’s perception.  How would Death look to me? 

The evil witches were another story.  They were just kinda clumped together and had no real definition to them.  Which was one of my pet peeves about this book.   

What I didn’t like – The description says it’s been re-edited.  I can’t see it.  Too many overuses of the same words,  misspelled ones, and it reads like a second draft instead of a finished manuscript.  Getting rid of all the ‘telling’ would build the characters out.  They are pretty one dimensional.

Still, I enjoyed the story, and the ending brought a tear to my eye.  I do want to read the next one but it’s not at the top of my list.  If you love down-in-the-luck type of heroines with a snarky attitude and the supernatural, give it it a try.  I give it 3.5 stars rounded to 4.
