Death at a Wedding
Marc Watson
Fantasy
Death, the Grim Reaper himself, has received his first ever wedding invitation. Although perceived as an all-knowing, all-powerful being, he’s still clueless on how to act in public. That… and what to do about all the mysterious rips forming in time and space, threatening to consume all of existence.
But maybe, just maybe, Victoria can help him out with all of that before it’s too late.
In this unexpectedly dark romantic comedy sequel to Death Dresses Poorly, Ethan will come face to face with new love, old loss, completely average hamburgers, and finding out exactly what it takes to finally be free.
Uncaged Review:First of all, this book was nothing like I thought it would be, and I mean that in a good way. Ethan is the first “living” Death, and a very socially awkward 22 yr old. Coming from a very broken and abusive family, all that’s left is him and his sister Arlene. Arlene lets Ethan know she’s getting married and wants him included in the wedding, from dress fittings to walking her down the aisle. During the get togethers with the wedding party and his sister, Ethan meets Victoria, one of the bridesmaids and it could actually be a start for the human part of Ethan along with his duties as Death.
There is some great humor involved and some poignant moments when Death is at his finest, and a lot of surprising happenings along the way. This book isn’t scary in any way, and I didn’t read the first book in the series, but I had no problems following along. Seeing Ethan struggle with choices he has to make and trying to hang onto his human side during the book is engaging and the characters are well flushed out and keep the story engaging and moving forward. I will probably at some point go back and read book one, Death Dresses Poorly. Reviewed by Cyrene
