Drip Drop Teardrop:The concept of a person dying only to be turned into a reaper is not new. There's another book I read called "Reaper" that was basically about the same thing (different mythical angle, different location, setting, etc. so it's absolutely NOT a rip off!) and there was also that short-lived but wonderfully hilarious TV series "Dead Like Me" that had the same basics. But with my previous experience with reaper-like stories, I have to say this is a good one. Falling in love with your own (and potentially your aunt's) reaper has got to have its mental and emotional conflicts. I was pleasantly surprised by the character, Avery, and how real the author made her. She is a 19 year old, and thus acts like it, and I can't have been happier about that! It's tiring reading book after book of late-teen/early-twenty-somethings acting and talking and 'thinking' like they're in their late 30's/early 40's. Also, the characters personalities are consistent-- THANK YOU! Holy cow am I tired of weird, conflicted personalities all in one persona. The characters in Drip Drop Teardrop picked one way of speaking, their own habits/mannerisms, and stuck with it. Hallelujah.The only thing I figure would possibly rub others the wrong way was how there seemed to be words missing from a few sentences. I read the book on my Kindle for PC and then on my cloud reader so it will take me a sec to find the exact locations. But as I read, it would be like a complete sentence was there and someone randomly removed a word from it. It only happened about 4 or 5 times, but otherwise, I didn't notice anything else.Thank you, Ms. Young, for writing this, and thank you for making it free on Amazon Kindle =) Much appreciated! I will definitely recommend this book if any of my friends ever decide to cross over to this genre.
