As someone not attracted to urban fantasy, I've found the three of Jamieson's Death novels bloody fantastic. They're funny, they're gross, they're mildly frightening (in the sense of making me worried for the wellbeing of characters)...did I say they're funny.

And to read a great horror/fantasy novel set in Australia that works was a bonus for me.

Brisbane as a gate to the underworld? Sure, I believe that. :)

An action packed and slightly unexpected ending to the trilogy - glad I finally got to read it!

Typed out a review and lost it, don't feel like repeating everything. This was decent, not the best take on Death ever but enjoyable enough.

Great ideas unevenly executed. Book 3, The Business of Death, was in dire need of more aggressive editing. Not a bad read, but I'd rather read an entire series that centered Lissa instead of making her play second fiddle to Steven's fumbling and slow-witted but ~lovable~ oaf.

Highly entertaining urban fantasy. Unlike normal urban fantasy books, this one was set in Australia, which was a fun difference. At times it can get a little heavy handed but it was entertaining.

I won't be recording my thoughts (if I choose to) here until after the AA are over.
