I am not going to lie, I am super disappointed in this book. I may have hyped this up too much in my head; I literally waited months for a copy at the library to become available, and I kept seeing all these glowing reviews about it. But as I read I could not get invested in the story or the mystery, and I honestly didn't care about the ending. But one of the main pulls of this book for me was the inclusion of Death as a character; I thought that it would make for fascinating character relationships. How wrong I was. I just wasn't able to see Death as anything other than every other YA male character (and a boring one at that). I had not connection to Signa and the other characters were almost like afterthoughts.

Overall good story and unique ideas. However I felt there was little chemistry between the protagonist and love interest, and had some gripes with the writing.
