ESPRIT DE CORPSE , the third book in the RELUCTANT REAPER SERIES  by Gina X. Grant, continues where SCYTHE DOES MATTER  leaves off. It's the next day in the Underworld, and Dante's mad (again) at Kirsty for using his scythe to reap Conrad Iver, Kirsty's evil former boss. Upon awakening, Kirsty and Dante are faced with a huge problem in Hell's Cells. It seems there's finally an answer to what happens when one reaper uses another reaper's scythe to zap someone to the Underworld.The two reapers rush to Conrad's jail cell just in time to see him turn into a demon and escape from jail. Of course, the first place they need to look is back on the Mortal Coil. Dante wants Kirsty to follow him to the hospital where they reaped Conrad, but Kirsty goes to her former boss's office instead, figuring Conrad will want to show up there sooner or later. There she discovers that her best friend, Shannon Iver (Conrad's daughter), is the prime suspect in Conrad's and Kirsty's deaths. Kirsty wants to make a true difference in someone's life, and she and Dante do all they can to help Shannon prove her innocence. Conrad's evil attempt to use his own daughter's blood to extend his life another 25 years is jeopardized when a female convicted killer tries to murder Shannon.ESPRIT DE CORPSE  is a wonderful, fun-filled, and action-packed addition to the RELUCTANT REAPER SERIES . I like the new, strong, and confident Kirsty and how she jumps in to save Shannon. Kirsty wants to exonerate Shannon even as she struggles with Dante's and Shannon's burgeoning friendship.The RELUCTANT REAPER SERIES  is such a unique and funny interpretation of the Underworld, and I can't wait for the next book's release. You can probably read each book in the series as a stand-alone, but I believe it would enhance your reading enjoyment to read the three stories in order. Whatever order you choose, be sure to read them all if you're looking for a lighthearted, funny, paranormal story with a plethora of quirky characters!If You Like This, You May Also Like: --- THE RELUCTANT REAPER  and SCYTHE DOES MATTER  by Gina X.
