About this listen

Just like all little girls, I hoped I was special and that one day my powers would be revealed. My parents would be bewildered, my friends would equally worship and envy me, and my bullies would run away in terror! Nothing happened when I turned 10. I didn't grow wings at 12, still wasn't able to make things move with my mind at 14, and at 16, I was already too old to believe in such nonsense. Well, what do you think happened the day I turned 18? I got the confirmation that I was only human. In the mail! Oh, and also an invitation to apply to the Grim Reaper Academy. Because, apparently, humans can be Grim Reapers, too.

Fast forward to day one, semester one, year one. There's a test! No one told me I'd have to take a test to enter! But there are only 22 Reapers in the world, the competition is tough, so I guess it makes sense? If I pass, then I will be sorted according to what kind of Death I'll make if I survive the rigors of the Academy.

But this is my chance, dammit! This is what I've been waiting for all my life! Okay, so I'm not a princess, or a mermaid, or Sailor Moon. But I can be a Grim Reaper one day. I'll take it!

Contains mature themes.

I was hooked pretty much straight away. Another review likens it to Harry Potter but more adult and I agree (although never thought that whilst listening) it's based in a magical school, this first Mila's first year and she's by hated by all but one student. Life was hard at home but harder at school. This book is about her battles to survive and devastating news that knocks her sideways. it's a damn riveting book. Looking forward to listening to book 2!

A really great read. A unique story unlike anything else. A little bit compelling, a little bit sexy. More than one reaper who knew?

Nothing quite like it

If you are into "Normal human gets to supernatural school, but with an adult aproach" - then this is the book series for you!
