Brigit Malone is still Assistant to the Head Grim Reaper, John
Blackwick at Reapers Inc. Since Brigit was seriously injured by Seamus Flannery,
Mama Dee has been holding down the fort.
Once Brigit has recovered and gets back on her feet again, she
goes off on an extra special assignment. Anything involving true love, Brigit is
there. Reuniting two souls in death who had been parted in life by the death of
one of them, is all too close to home for Brigit and the least she can do is to
help them cross over to their final judgements together.
In Brigit’s absence, Mama Dee takes on a dangerous reaping
task. The mayhem that ensues from a small mistake, ensures the other Reapers
have a race against time to round up all the dark souls that have escaped from
the bowels of hell. Will the Reapers be successful in their task before the dark
souls cause mayhem and disruption throughout the whole world?
I am absolutely hooked on this series. I found these books
quite sometime after they were published. Which, in a way, was a stroke of luck
for me. I’ve been able to read them back to back and I still have one left to
read. The truth is, I can’t put them down. No sooner have I finished one and I
have the next one lined up to read.
The storytelling in this series, is far beyond average. To say
B.L Newport has a wonderful and vivid imagination is an understatement. Her way
with words is magical.
As the series progresses, I notice the storyline becomes
darker, more dangerous for want of a better way of explaining it. It all adds to
the ‘edge of the seat’ feeling I get with these books.
The characters, as in the previous books, are all well formed
and compliment each other. Reading all about the dark side is like looking in
from afar. Which is as close as I’d really want to be.
A fantastic series that I hope goes on for a long time to
come.
