Interesting perception of the Grim Reaper
18 April 2010
Format:Paperback
I like this one. The story was well put together and I found myself wanting to be the Reaper's Assistant!
This is the author's first book and I think she did a good job. While reading it it makes you question how you would react if you only had a very limited time with strangers. Would you be able to withhold judgment in order to help them pass through, or are we inclined to judge, even in death?
It was interesting to see the Grim Reaper portrayed as a regular person instead of what we normally get of "a skeleton covered in black robes". This added more of a realistic edge to the book. You end up kind of hoping that a friendly reaper will meet with you once you die and listen to your story as you prepare to move to the next level.
There were two big spelling errors (of the same word) that made me stop a minute, but once that page was turned, it read fluidly. The one thing I was not fond of, was the back cover. The font used made the "g" too elaborate and make it stand out too much. But if that is the worst thing I could say about the book, it's not too bad.
This was a good one. Keep it up B.L. Newport.

Interesting premise, but needs an editor!
15 July 2010
Format:Paperback
I am currently reading Reapers, Inc. - Brigit's Cross, and have only one criticism: find an editor!
The story is interesting and enjoyable, but the poor grammar is driving me crazy! It will not take away from the integrity of the work if a close friend or relative who has a solid grasp of English grammar rules, proof-reads the manuscript and corrects spelling and grammar errors. The internet is a marvelous medium for artistic and creative expression, and I certainly would not discourage self-publishing through the internet, but please Please PLEASE have the decency to have your work edited!
This completes my rant. Wonderfully imagined story. Cheers.

A fun and good (dark-ish) read
15 May 2012
Format:Paperback
When I picked this up I only had the vaguest idea of the storyline, and was pleaased to see it was 'twisted' in a way I had not expected as well as, turning into and ending that was a total surprise; into an ending where I wanted more of the books character. I got it~ by getting two more books of the same (but VERY different) story line, and, instead of a cliffhanger, a trilogy.
