"The Reaper's Daughter"- KM Randall

Overview:
The Reaper needs her and the dead want her ...

I’ve always felt like an average girl ... except for my strange relationship with death. You could say I like to court it. Whether I’m soaring through the air as a flyer for Specter University’s cheer squad, or speeding down the steepest mountain with only grace and balance keeping me from an icy end, I’ve always needed to feel a rush. But now Death is courting me―in more ways than one. First, there’s Rishi, a rogue death deity who has a penchant for annoying me nearly to my grave and whose intense gaze has the power to see right through me. Then there’s Hades, who I’d rather had stayed just a myth. Now that he knows I exist, he’s not going to leave me alone until I meet the same end as my mother.

Oh yeah, did I forget to mention her? I spent my whole life thinking she had died when I was a baby, but now I’ve found out she’s much more than dead. Fifty years ago, Hades banished my mother from the underworld and took away her ability to cross over souls―souls that have wandered lost through the world ever since. Now she wants me to clean up the mess. You may have​ heard of her before ... 

They call her the Grim Reaper.


My Review:
2.5 Stars

I was given an advanced reader copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a honest review.

This book was just so blah for me. I had trouble connecting to this story and the characters. I couldn't wait to finish it because that meant it was over. I guess I was disappointed with the writing and main character because the overview made it sound like she was this snarky, sarcastic, funny lead character when really, she was just boring.

The idea of the story was interesting, but it's been done before and its been done much better. I'm not saying I hated it, but I sure didn't like it.  Everything was just lacking... the characters, the plot, and the writing.
