The Reluctant Reaper by Gina X GrantReview by Kris (with I Heart Books)5 stars - Loved it!I was looking for a quick and quirky read in the paranormal genre, but also wanted something different than anything I'd read before. Picky aren't I? Well, The Reluctant Reaper... NAILED IT!Kirsty was a great, if not slightly flawed, character. Her flaw? Not really living life (or afterlife) to its fullest and being content in just getting by. In one brazen move her life is changed. Quite literally in limbo of sorts, she is ushered to `Hell' by the sexy reaper Dante. Unfortunately Dante is the reason she is prematurely on her way south so she has a hard time warming up to him. Haha.The author had a lot of fun with word play and it made it a lot of fun to read. The characters were funny and complex, while keeping light and sweet. This was easily read in an afternoon. I had a hard time putting it down. If I had a tiny complaint it would be that there are a lot of characters to keep track of, although we may only see them once in this book I get the feeling that they will return in subsequent books in the series. TRR was a good foundation for the rest of the series. I have future plans of reuniting with Kirsty, Dante and the rest of the crazy, yet lovable, cast!
