    About this audiobook

    The truck should have turned Libbi Piper into a Libbi Pancake - and it would have, too, if Aaron hadn't shown up and saved her life.

    The problem? Aaron's the local Grim Reaper - and he only saved Libbi's life because he needs someone to take over his job. Now, Libbi has two days to choose between dying like she was supposed to, or living a lonely life as Death Incarnate. Talk about a rock and a hard place.

    And the choice goes from hard to sucktastic when her best friend shows up marked: condemned as a future murderer. Libbi could have an extra week to stop the murder and fix the mark - but only if she accepts Aaron's job as Reaper, trapping herself in her crappy town forever, invisible and inaudible to everyone except the newly dead.

    But, if she refuses? Her best friend is headed straight for Hell.

      I'm always looking for a great "reaper" story similar to that show "Dead Like Me" which I LOVED. Call Me Grim started off great but then began to lose me. I felt like there were a bunch of unnecessary plot twists and weird character personality shifts, especially closer to the end, to the point that it pretty much ruined the story for me. The first half was definitely entertaining but it began to fall apart in the second half and completely disintegrated into a convoluted mess by the end.

      Call Me Grim enticed me with its promise of a new Grim Reaper story. No matter how many I read, I'm always excited to see what angle a new author will take on this subject. It's fascinating to me. The chance to skip your death, if you're only willing to guide others into the light? Yup, I want to know how it works. There was no hesitation as to whether or not I'd read this book. It instantly went on my list when it was offered to me for review.

      I'll start with the strong points. First off, the premise of this story is pretty standard. You're slated to die, but you can avoid that if you're okay with becoming a Grim Reaper. Done, and done. The wrench in this system is that there can only be one Reaper in a certain zone. So if you want to take their place? They have to die. Twist! I liked this. Imagine knowing that, not only are you avoiding your own death, but you're trading places with someone else. Crazy. The other thing I liked about this book was that Libbi was so adamant about needing time to think it over. I'm always wary when a character makes a split decision regarding something so life changing. It made this feel more real.

      Now on to what I didn't click with so much. The characters fall under this category. All of them, Libbi, Kyle, Aaron and Haley, were just so hard to like. They whined, a lot. They got into fights that felt like they were so petty that I couldn't get behind them. What they felt like, to me, were what an adult believes that teenagers act and sound like. Do I believe that there are teenagers out there who actually behave like this? Yes, I do. I don't think it's the norm though. So having four characters who are all eerily similar in their temperament? A little frustrating, to say the least. Add to this the fact that their dialogue never really felt true, and I had a hard time sticking with them.

      The other issue I had, and this was the big one, was that the story just didn't seem to flow. Aaron's plight made sense. I understood the way that the Reaper world worked on a very shallow level, but that's where things stopped making sense to me. I wanted to see further into the politics of this world. Wanted to know who Aaron answered to, and why he was such a stickler for the rules. The ending also made me a little upset, but I won't spoil it for you. Suffice it to say that, although I finished it, this wasn't a book that I clicked with.

      I received a copy of this book for my honest review.

      Call me grim is about teenager Libby who almost gets hit by a truck but is saved by mysterious guy named Aaron. He saved her for a reason, he's a Grimm and he wants her to take her place.She doesn't believe him but starts to see glowing light aroung people and after witnessing Aaron take the soul of an elderly woman she starts to believe what he says is true.

      She only has two days to decide if she will take his place or she will die. She doesn't want to but something happens, her best friend Kyle is marked and will commit a crime. Now she has a difficult decision to make: take the job and try to save Kyle or refuse and die in two days.

      This is Ms. Holloway's debut novel and it's good. This paranormal story is original and well written. You do not get bored reading this book, it's a fast paced book. All the characters were well developped and interesting.

      There is some romance but it's so minimal and it doesn't get in the way of the main story. I loved her concept of what happens when we die and the purpose of having Grim reapers when that happens.

      Original, action-packed can't wait for the sequel. Amazing job from Ms. Holloway!

      I enjoyed this one more than I expected to. Likeable, but imperfect protagonist. Authentic teenage characterizations and dialogue. I listened to the audiobook and I think Kelly Collins Lintz was the perfect choice to narrate.

      I received a digital copy of this book from Chapter by Chapter when I signed up for its blog tour in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. All are my own opinion and is not compensated by any individual, organization, or company.Call Me Grim is about Libbi Piper who was saved by Grim Reaper Aaron. But due to Aaron’s action, she was forced to choose between dying and living alone invisible to everyone except the newly dead. She was ready to turn down Aaron’s offer not until her best friend, Kyle, showed up marked. He was marked to either commit suicide or murder, whichever of the two will lead Kyle to go straight to Hell, Libbi would not allow it. She accepted Grim Reaper Aaron’s offer… but can she really do it? Can she be a good Grim Reaper? Can she help lift Kyle’s ‘mark’? When she realizes that things are not that easy and an unexpected love has been involved, will she back out of becoming Grim Reaper and abandon her self-proclaimed mission?I really like the world building of Call Me Grim; it is set in the modern time. The paranormal abilities of the Grim Reapers are so befitting; I like how there’s only one Grim Reaper in an area and how they are bound to their appointed place. All the pieces are nicely glued together that makes my read an enjoying one. The characters are so cool in their own different ways. Max, Libbi’s younger brother, is my favourite character. He brings humour to the story and it is so nice. Especially, when he teases Libbi about her ‘imaginary’ suitor; it is very funny and refreshing. I am connected to all of the characters immediately at the first chapter; they are likeable.I got confused with a few Grim Reaping rules; took me a while to fully grasp them. I am just not satisfied with the ending. I do not fancy open endings and I am not sure if Call Me Grim would have second book. If there is one, I will happily read it. I need to know what happen after!Call Me Grim is a very good Grim Reaper to read. It deserves to be put in everyone’s shelves. Packaged with good romance and amazing twists, one will surely get hooked to this. The author hides the full cover of each character’s story without ruining the main storyline. It is great and well-written. Most definitely a good read. I recommend it to everyone.
