In a modern world where Satan advertises on billboards and magic is part of everyday life, a complete loser becomes the next Death. It’s a wild concept and makes for a decent book. I didn’t remember anything about the book as I started this review so I gave it a quick re-read. The story was unique but I didn’t totally enjoy the writing. It’s part of a series, but I didn’t continue on after book one because I didn’t love it.
