Embrace the Grim Reaper Audiobook

" This is yet another book series that I have managed to read out of order. However I am very happy about it as I believe if I had started with embrace the Grim Reaper I would have never moved on to the second one. Embrace the Grim Reaper is a very interesting book has great characters and it absolutely hilarious take on death. However this book feels to me as though it was a warm-up there was a little too much time spent getting into the head of the main character is a little too much explanation going around. The mystery of the book seemed to never really form a connection to the main character the way it did in the second book and death didn't turn up nearly often enough "

" The cover and title would lead a reader to think this myster is closer to the horror genre, but in reality, it is closer to the "gentle reads" genre. The opening reveals that something troubling has clearly happened, but soon witty conversations with "Death" and small-town scenes take over featuring small-town theatre, bed and breakfasts, diners, and more. The ending was not particularly satisfactory, but the characters and overall writing were pleasing. No sex, swearing, and only implied violence. "

" I was hoping this book would be better. I think it has an interesting concept, but it did not deliver. If she writes a second book (I think she could create a series with this character), I will give it another try, but if it falls short, I won't put any more time into this author. "

" Eh. I noticed the author was an award winner so I chose this book at the library. I felt like vital details about the main character's life were lacking and because of that, I did not feel a strong connection. And I really hate books that read like a movie. Which this one did near the end of the book. It was quite a realistic book until the end. Then it was just too melodramatic. And how "convenient" that her unhidden talents throughout the whole book show up at the end to save herself and others. Like I said, "Eh." "

" Loved the sense of humor of Death. OK, how twisted am I? Not quite the ending I envisioned...but then there wouldn't have been a sequel in my version. "

" I picked this up since Death was listed as a companion to the main character, and they only had a few scenes together. He's not even fully described. Other than that, it's your typical 'drifter solves murder mystery" "

" Half way through. Excellent mystery. Lots of unanswered questions slowly being answered with wounded spunky talented heroine. "

" Great series - was completely sucked into it and immediately bought the next book when I finished this one. "

" I couldn't get into this book. The main character was completely uninteresting to me and their wasn't enough interaction from the grim reaper. Perhaps I'll try reading this book another time. "

" I really Liked this book. I wasn't sure what to expect and as a mystery it kept me wondering. "

" Really good book, can't wait to read each one! "

" Interesting story, not fabulous but different for sure. Not loving the ending, giving 2nd book a shot to see if it helps with that. "

" Didn't know what to expect..but wound up enjoying it! "

" More fun than grim, a female Matt Helm travels with a sardonic Death as her occasional companion. "

" A very strong debut with a creative premise and an intriguing main character. The ending is somewhat rushed, but I like where Clemens is going with the series and she lays some interesting groundwork for future installments. "

" A quirky different sort of read - really liked it and will try the 2nd in the series "

" I gave this 3.8 stars. It wasn't bad, but I think this is one that should be read in order and I don't guess I did. "

" I picked this up since Death was listed as a companion to the main character, and they only had a few scenes together. He's not even fully described. Other than that, it's your typical 'drifter solves murder mystery" "

" nice easy story to read, and it is a good story "

" Really good book, can't wait to read each one! "

" Good mystery, but the story of Death's interaction with the main character is what makes this series special. Hope there are more. "

" Love the ambiguity of this novel: either the detective is suffering from a severe psychotic break with reality or this is a paranormal mystery. It reads fine either way. "

" I love books that see Death as a person! I am so glad my partner found this book at the library and decided to borrow. I'm very excited to read the next in the series. "

" I enjoyed her seeing and talking to Death but wish the story had an ending. I'm not sure if I will read the next book in this series, maybe. "

" I was hoping this book would be better. I think it has an interesting concept, but it did not deliver. If she writes a second book (I think she could create a series with this character), I will give it another try, but if it falls short, I won't put any more time into this author. "

" Surprised myself. I picked this up at the library .. I guess because I liked the cover and premise. It was a good read. I enjoyed my time with Casey. I will try other Judy Clemens books and look forward to another in this series. "
