Wow! I loved this story. I'm a huge fan of Reaper stories and this one really sucks you in and has you racing until the end. Tyler is killed, and the Grim Reaper shows up to make her a proposition. She can resume her life on earth if she finds a missing reaper and reaps 1000 souls. He's a creepy, slimy jerk who doesn't explain the details or consequences of things. Tyler agrees, arrives home after her resurrections (two of them; perhaps she should have just stayed dead). to find her boyfriend sleeping with her life-long best friend/roommate. Talk about a horrible day. It's a great mix of mystery and romance. Detective Sam is super yummy. But there's another person that Tyler is drawn to. And as the neighborhood girls who all resemble Tyler start to die, you begin suspecting EVERYONE because they all look guity. Don't spend a lot of energy trying to figure out who the killer is because the end will surprise you. I really hope this is going to be a series because I'd love to see more.

Twenty-five year old Tyler Morgan's craving for mints costs her her life, twice. Attacked by a undead madman and left lying in a puddle of her own blood, the end of her all too short life is looking like a given. That is until the Grim Reaper shows up and makes her an offer she can't refuse. Hunt down a runaway reaper and get to live another day. Alas, things are not as straightforward as Grim has lead her to believe...
"Regardless of who killed them or why, the dying had the right to be treated with respect. I had agreed to act as reaper for Easton. I had a job to do, and it was time to stop whining and get over it."
This one took me a bit to get into. I found the writing to be a little "off" at the beginning. I really can't pinpoint why, just a feeling I had. That said, it seemed to improve greatly and I was swiftly caught up in the ongoing story. The plot kept me interested and I didn't find it dragging at any point. The characters were well written. The World building interesting. It had a few twists and turns that I didn't see coming. Where it lost a star for me was the "love triangle" I got tired of the back and forth between Sam and Chris and Tyler. Throw in the asshole ex and the BFF that cheated on Tyler, and I found it a bit distracting.
Overall though I really enjoyed this one and will definitely be keeping an eye out for book two in this series.

Starts of with a bang - a violent encounter leaving Tyler making a deal with the Grim Reaper in an original story line. If that wasn’t enough for a night her world continues to be turned upside down and it doesn’t stop turning.
You feel fo Tyler as she deals with Grim, her very dysfunctional and misogynistic family, and reaping. On top of that there is a love triangle.
There’s death, murder, betrayal, emotional upheavals, all woven in well and making the story flow. The world building is fascinating and I’m looking forward to continuing Tyler’s story in book two.
Thoroughly enjoyed reading this different take on reapers.

Lost Reaper was awesome!! I completely loved this book, could not put it down. There was so much anticipation and I was so anxious. I couldn't decide if I wanted Tyler to choose Chris or Sam. I loved them both. I was so happy that she dumped Logan, and I never forgave Sarah even if Tyler did. I just can't imagine why Tyler's family was so cruel to her. I still haven't figured that out. I mean, someone in the family had to care about her, or at least they should. It's crazy. The book had so much going on I just couldn't stand not to know what came next. I had a feeling about who the serial killer was pretty early, but I did question it a couple of times. But the depth of his crazy was totally unreal. I loved it!!

Tyler Morgan gets murdered, a bargain with the Grimm Reaper brings her back. All she has to do, is find a missing reaper and collect a lot of souls. Easy.
As I was reading this book I felt that it was too nicely wrapped up, and difficult situations were skipped. Tyler was studying for her journalist degree, however throughout the book she never once went to study and I wonder how she would have coped passing out when she had a soul to reap. After suffering a nasty breakup, I was surprised that she was so eager to be around any man, especially one that liked to play the field and she still lived with other person involved. At the start my views on Tyler was as a sweet natured girl who just wanted to get on in life, but as the story progressed she came across as a bit of a tart and even though she knew what she was doing. She was playing with the male characters emotion. Adding to the story was a serial killer who was killing girls similar to Tyler and usually I struggle to guess who did it, however I guessed straight away, which took the excitement of the read away.
The only thing that surprised me was that the story happened over a week and how quick she learnt the powers of the necklace.This was an OK read but I am unsure whether to carry on with the series
