Dont Fear the (Not Really Grim) Reaper

Posted on 03 July 2018 by Carole Cummings

When unassuming college student Emery Sutton wakes up in the morgue, it takes him a few minutes to remember he has magic superpowers, damn it and free himself from the refrigerated drawer And the body bag God It doesn t take long, though, for him to remember the hot guy with wings he ran into just before a city bus ran into him.Junior Reaper John must explain to his supervisor how his first solo assignment went so wrong All he knows is that he happened upon Emery quite by accident, that Emery saw John when he shouldn t have been able to, and when they accidentally touched, a bus came out of nowhere and plowed Emery under John really does feel bad about that Hot angels, annoying demons, hijinks, absurdity, drunk siblings, a dash of silly romance, an inordinate attachment to wings, and a highly disorganized bid for world domination Don t Fear the Not Really Grim Reaper follows Emery and John down the rabbit hole where they find that moms are scarier than demons from hell, a goat is not a puppy no matter what Emery s sister says, and awkward romance can happen anywhere.
