"Everything's a game if you play it right"
From the get-go, it reminds me of the storytelling of Moore and Pratchett as well (for obvious reasons) and in a way Supernatural (I know, again).
The humour is not the laugh-out-loud kind, it's more like a chuckle with a friendly eyeroll.
Still, it's a great read if you are not taking Death (or Life) seriously.
Oh how I've missed urban fantasy! (I am not sure if books like this have a special subgenre, but please, give me more like this.)
Olivie made such great characters, main and minor ones, that I could really feel their joy and pain, sorrow and hope. Loved the romances as well.
"... you persisted, and now I think you've lured me into some outrageous sense of expectation."
