Find the red stone, they say. It will help you, they say. “They” suck!
Training to be a reaper is a challenge in itself. Add the king of death and the loathsome elder council to the mix and it’s a disaster.
My only hope is to gather the life stones and use them to protect not only myself, but mankind. However, things don’t go as planned. In fact, they go completely sideways.
I have reapers, … go completely sideways.
I have reapers, demons, and vampires after me. And that stone? Yeah, it’s got a serious side effect that makes me sorry I ever found it.
“They” can kiss my immortal bum.

Picking up where Grim Girl left off, Grim Life continues taking us on Riley’s journey as she adjusts to being a reaper and Azrael’s heir apparent. This installment in the series is enjoyable, humorous at times, and as engaging as the previous book. Riley is maturing as a young woman and growing in her role as a reaper and continues to juggle her human life. She does have to make some difficult choices that put her in situations that do not always turn out as planned. Action and intrigue are abundant, as is the suspense as Riley tries to figure out how to keep her father at bay. There are many more twists and some moments that tug at the heartstrings-hard. Both the epilogue and prologue let us know who the real bad guy is, yep, Lucifer, and Azrael have company. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.

“Grim Life” Nicky Graves’ second book in her “Reaper Files” series follows Riley into her new stage in life as a Reaper in training. Being the first female Reaper is not only unheard of, it requires a whole new set of….. difficulties
Riley’s already hard training it further hinder by the interferences by the elder council and his deathly majesty. It should get better, when she finds the red stone, which will protect her (and humanity) for about everything that goes bump in the night (and mornings and afternoons for good measure), with reapers, demons , vampires after her, and the stone more burden than help. Riley’s does what she can best… take everything with grim witty humor, what it’s an immortal girl to do otherwise
Nicky Graves’ Reaper-verse is a fantastic, intelligent and entertaining world, populated by unique, relatable and fully distinctive personalities. Riley combines your typical 17-year old traits with enough wit to keep you spinning, teenager-angst takes into a fully new dimension, when you are immortal and a job forever… death should not be that enticing… not really… it shouldn’t .
