Reaper
There’s no way sixteen year old Quincy Amarante will become the fifth grim reaper. None. Not over her shiny blue Mustang. Her Jimmy Choos. Or her dead body.
She’s supposed to enjoy her sophomore year, not learn about some freaky future Destiny says she has no choice but to fulfill.
It doesn’t take long for Quincy to realize the only way out of the game is to play along especially since Death can find her anyway, anywhere, anytime. And does.
Like when she’s reassuring her friends she wants nothing to do with former best friend Ben Moorland, who’s returned from god-knows-where, and fails. Miserably.
Instead of maintaining her coveted popularity status, Quincy’s goes down like the Titanic.
Maybe … just maybe … that’s okay.
It seems, perhaps, becoming a grim reaper isn’t just about the dead but more about a much needed shift in Quincy’s priorities—from who she thinks she wants to be to who she really is.

This looks really interesting! When it comes out I’ll be sure to try and find a copy =)
I don’t think I would be very happy if I was going to be a reaper, because then I would be dead. What fun is that? Of course, you can always get revenge on the people who crapped on you. lol
That already caught my interest. Not sure when I’ll get around to it, though. But I can say I’m looking forward to it. And I’ce heard a lot of good things about it so far, so I’m saying, “Keep up the good work!” =)
Very interesting book, I’ll have to check it out.
