I have the second book and am way too eager to embark on it, so cheers! Like Croak was her missing piece, and everyone else in Croak is just as awesome as she is. Lex seems kind of like an obnoxious character at first, but she warms up as she starts to discover a place that accepts her for what she is and flourishes. I guess the novel makes death seem a bit more bearable. There's a great humor that takes place through the whole story and each character that is introduced has very individual pluck. There's a really neat system of how the whole town functions and the author has built the town of Croak as well as the world of Grim with such precision that I'm not left asking questions about how anything works or who does what, etc. The Killers actually release the souls from the bodies and the Cullers get the soul into a container for safe transportation. There's two types of Grims: Killers and Cullers.
The Grims actually function as soul transporters. Which turns out to be a town set up for Grims.
So she's sent to live with her Uncle Mort for the summer. They decide that to curb her outrageous behavior, some good hard labor at her Uncle Mort's farm will do wonders. The parents have stuck with her for this entire debacle of delinquent behavior but have reached their last straw. Their Mom is in love with American History, hence the twins names, and their Dad is an alright guy. She has a twin sister named Concord, or Cordy who has supported her and stuck by her despite her rage. Then someone would set her off and wind up with a black eye. Before then, she was a straight A student, well liked, yadda yadda yadda but then one day she woke up with a lot of unexplained rage inside of her. Lex, short for Lexington, is 16, and referred to as 'Tyrannosaurus Lex' at her school as she went delinquent when she was 14. Will she ditch Croak and go rogue with her reaper skills?" AMAZON LINK OF LAUGHTERĪctually, that amazon summary as usual sucks. But Lex can’t stop her desire for justice-or is it vengeance?-whenever she encounters a murder victim, craving to stop the attackers before they can strike again. She quickly assimilates into the peculiar world of Croak, a town populated by reapers who deliver souls from this life to the next. And he’s going to teach Lex the family business. Okay, okay, I'll share the amazon summary to maybe give a feel of how this book reads, " Fed up with her wild behavior, sixteen-year-old Lex’s parents ship her off to upstate New York to live with her Uncle Mort for the summer, hoping that a few months of dirty farm work will whip her back into shape.īut Uncle Mort’s true occupation is much dirtier than shoveling manure. AH HAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!!! Dear Batman, THIS BOOK IS HILARIOUS!
