A review by buffyreads
The Grim Reaper's Lawyer by Mea Monique

3.0

“Joyce Parker. Thirty-year-old African American female. Time of death is 4 p.m. Sorry to inform you, but you are dead."

Characters:
Joyce is a lawyer who was unceremoniously killed by her wacko definitely guilty client. Aiden is a reaper who is in deep shit after making a mistake on the job. These two have great banter from their first interaction and it gets better throughout the story.

Plot:
I loved this whole concept from the very start. After being murdered by her client Joyce is given two opinions: Hell or becoming a lawyer for the Grim Reaper in their new court system. I loved the pacing of this book. It draws you in immediately and gives you a brand new and interesting world. There is a surprise "twist" in the story that I felt it was out of nowhere and then
I also wasn't invested in their love story as I felt as though the emotional connection wasn't earned. However I did enjoy the ending and the overall plot itself.


Secret Sauce:
The sauce was lacking. I didn't find the intimate scenes between Aiden and Joyce enjoyable but I think that comes down to personal preference. The whole dom-type possessive alpha stuff makes me cringe really bad.


Rating: I give this book a 3/5
