The last we heard of Niki, the world was turned upside down and Sam was unmade.  One had to wonder if that was it for her.But oh nooo, she was just getting started.Just when we are still smarting from the loss of Sam, Murray takes us on Nik's most challenging journey yet, becoming death itself.  Something she never asked for, never wanted to be. So what do you do when you are alone...and the reaper...and completely surrounded by everyone's mortality?  Why, you take up with Lucifer, of course.What I loved the most about this book was the raw emotion throughout.  Isolation, grief, guilt, rage, love - it's all there in this rollercoaster.Gage is his usual delightful self, I almost forgot what a character he was.  What is most endearing to me about him is his unconditional friendship with Niki.  He has no hidden agenda when it comes to her.  He really got me when he remarked about Sam, "There must be a reason God didn't bring him back."  I paused for a long time, thinking on that.  My heart broke a little.This highly anticipated book 4 does not disappoint.  I was so glad to be back in Niki's world for a while.Oh, and did I mention Niki is badass?  I would *not* want to be on her bad side.
