Grim Alfonzo Reaper or Grim (and yes the notorious Grim with the scythe) goes on his day to day activities of guiding souls to their destinations when he discovers that there is a group out to get him killed. Killing Death may seem impossible but the Wee (and yes again that is their name) seems to be adamant on the task. This is the first time that I read Grim portrayed this way, I couldn't quite put a finger to it but I can definitely tell you that it's not your usual Grim Reaper portrayal.To tell you the truth, I didn't know what to expect with reading Grim Reaping. I thought it was another book about Death and other supernatural but lo and behold it was shockingly hilarious and downright funny, in a certain way. For me, I consider it "smart funny" if you get what I mean. It is not like your usual comedy. That plus the fact that Grims friends/minions were also fun to read - weird combination of characters but for Grim Reaping, it worked!This is a novel that is easy to read and Lund's writing is easy to follow. I love how Lund didn't need to make the story complicated to give us an entertaining tale. It was straight to the point without giving us all the hints, it wasn't fluffed with unnecessary information/cliff hanger/drama, fast paced story, and has well developed characters who are not only funny but also interesting. I believe this is first in the series and I recommend it to everyone who wants to enjoy a good book. Lund definitely gained a new follower in me and looking forward to what will happen to Grim next. For such a cheap price, your money definitely is worth it on this one!
