Ren Scarborough is half British Reaper and half Japanese Shinigami, for centuries she's been reaping the souls of London.
When she loses control of her Shinigami powers while being beaten and bullied for being a 'foreigner', she decides to flee everything that she has known, accompanied by her full reaper brother.
Ren must accept an impossible task to become accepted as a Shinigami by the Japanese Goddess of Death, along the way she must find out who she is and what she wants most.
A thrilling story that takes you on Ren's journey on Earth as well as the underworld. Beautiful and strong world building sets the scene for a fast paced fantasy filled with myths and legends of death around the world.

you can't be morally grey and whiny about it
overall, the story was fine. though the ending kind of leaves me wondering how the plot could possibly continue in a second book
