Murder is not her department. It’s not like it used to be. Modern-day grim reapers wear business casual, not black cloaks, and they don’t carry scythes, they work for S. C. Y. T. H. E. (Secure Collection, Yielding, and Transportation of Human Essences), where the Department of Natural Causes is the least exciting gig. And that’s how Kathy Valence likes it: boring and predictable. She has enough stress in her personal life; she’s mid-divorce, pregnant, and terrified she doesn’t have what it takes to be a good mom. Then, she goes to pick up a new client and finds his soul is missing.

Come on, Grim, get over yourself!

This was a fun idea with its unique corporate 'grim reaper' concept. I enjoyed the dead kid Connor's personality. There were a number of laughs, especially from him and his interactions with 'Grim' ( as he calls her). But the main protagonist, 'Collections Agent Kathy' had waaaay too much angst. It got a little old...no a LOT old. Fast. By Chapter 10 I wanted to smack her. Also, I've never known a pregnant woman with so many pregnancy-related issues who didn't end up diagnosed with the kind of problems that REQUIRED mama to stay in in bed for the remaining months. How was she able to chase around town investigating a murder if they were that bad? So, all that came across as angst, too. Or hypochondria. The narrator was pretty good, although I hated her choice of voice characterization for Kathy's husband. Overall, I thought it was okay, but I don't think I could sit through it a second time, which means buying a copy was kind of a waste. It also leaves me with grave doubts about my interest in a sequel.
