This just may be the cutest story about someone's death I have ever read.
As if death isn't horrid enough, you're telling me that the Afterworld is ran on even worse corporate leaders? Upon her death, Lucy finds herself begging her Reaper, Daniel, for more time. Daniel, feeling a connection to someone for the first time since his own death 100 something years prior, is able to convince the upper heads to allow just that. The caveat? Daniel needs to report in his observations of human life to improve Death and Human relations and up their crossover quota.
This book was SUCH a fun take on love and the grim reaper. Daniel is truly just another bro in corporate - he quite literally has a soul sucking job. Lucy, just wants to make it to her sister's wedding. Together, these have such a fun relationship. Daniel is so facinated by everything that Lucy does. All the features that Lucy finds makes her a terrible human, are things that Daniel finds endearing. I loved how SHOCKED Daniel was at everything. There was something so charming about his innocent person despite being described as this dark and stoic man.
This book does feel a bit insta-lovey, so if that's not your vibe you may not like it. For me, it worked really well. It was a great palette cleanser and shock of romance that I needed.
Thank you so much to Netgalley and Berkley for an eARC. All thoughts are my own.
