Driggs whispered to Lex out of the side of his mouth as they walked, “I never got grounded before you came here.” And, to top it all off, all my wonderful friends and reviewers on GR have written reviews for book three that are nothing if not painfully clear on who or what is knocking on death’s doorstep (again, no pun intended). Not only are Lex and Driggs continually being threatened, they are constantly getting hurt. We are starting to see main characters hacked and slashed and its getting harder and harder to pretend that something bad might not be coming….because I’m not so sure anymore.

I repeatedly explained in my last review that this series was perfect for when you’re busy, down, or just need a laugh. “Your defense mechanisms are captivating, as always.”Īaaah this series. “Sometimes it does,” he replied with a smile, pecking her on the nose. “Yeah, well, love doesn’t always beat out fear.” Her best chance at escape would be to stop Zara once and for all-but how can she do that from DeMyse, where the Grims seem mysteriously oblivious to Zara’s killing spree? Though this sparkling desert oasis is full of luxuries and amusements, it feels like a prison to Lex. To escape the townspeople’s wrath, she and her friends embark on a wild road trip to DeMyse. But after inadvertently transferring her ability to Zara, a murderous outlaw, Lex is a pariah in Croak, the little town she calls home. That makes her pretty scary, even to fellow Grims. Sixteen-year-old Lex Bartleby is a teenage grim reaper with the bizarre ability to damn souls.
