I just finished reading My Soul to Take last week, which is the first book in Rachel Vincent's Soul Screamers series. So when I stumbled across this little gem with a $0 price tag and having just bought a Kobo how could I resist? This was such a fun read! I had a smile on my face the entire time while reading. Tod is hilarious!He's a reaper, obviously. In this novella we learn how he becomes one. Which is a heart breaking, messed-up story in itself, but after learning it you can't help but admire him and see him in a whole new light. He has a dark, incredibly sarcastic sense of humor that makes otherwise upsetting situations pretty darned funny. Vincent nails the smart-ass teenager personage.One of my favorite parts was when he was meeting his boss for the first time. Tod thinks that his new boss tricked him and asks if he can speak to a manager. I just though that was the funniest thing! Maybe without the full context it doesn't make complete sense but I don't want to give away any spoilers.I really got a kick out of this one. It's short, it's fun and the writing is amazing. Rachel Vincent is a pro at her craft: writing kick-ass books. You don't have to have read the series to be able to appreciate Reaper. Mind you, if you have, you'll probably enjoy it even more! It's only an hour or less of your time. Read it and you'll find yourself checking out the rest of this series or her Shifters series guaranteed!
