Brigit Malone is carrying out her position of Assistant Grim
Reaper efficiently and to the very best of her ability. The threat made by
Seamus Flannery nine months previously has not been carried out........Yet.
Brigit is under no illusions though, that he is just biding his time to get to
her in a weak moment.
John Blackwick has left Brigit in charge as Head Reaper while
he opens up satellite offices round the world. Brigit is working round the clock
crossing souls and trying her best to run the office. She can’t even get home
very often to spend time with her beloved Maggie.
The Bailey is acting up and the work load due to his increased
activity is never ending. Brigit also has to face a ghost she’d rather not face
from her past. Then the unthinkable happens, Seamus shows his hand at last. He
has found a way to carry out his threat to Brigit. He is going after the one
person Brigit would give up her immortal soul for. Will Seamus succeed in
destroying Brigit?
Reapers Inc Brigit’s Cross was a superb book. This second in
the series is even better, if that’s possible.
The characters are diverse and multidimensional. As the firm
of Reapers Inc grows, so we meet more characters. Some nicer than others. But
they all pull their own weight in progressing the story along at a nice pace,
with twists and turns along the way.
It’s fascinating to read about the dead interacting with the
living. This series is giving me a whole new perception of a genre previously
either ignored or read by those considered ghoulish. Personally, although I know
these things can’t and don’t happen, a part of me wonders, what
if.........
B.L Newport has a unique way with words. Her storytelling just
makes me want to read more from her. She has created a wonderful set of
characters, even when I’m not reading a Reapers Inc book, I’m thinking about
them.
If anyone is unsure as to whether they will like the series,
just buy the first book. The price is very reasonable too.
