Ilustration As Books Croak (Croak #1)
Fed up with her wild behavior, sixteen-year-old Lex's parents ship her off to upstate New York to live with her Uncle Mort for the summer, hoping that a few months of dirty farm work will whip her back into shape. But Uncle Mort's true occupation is much dirtier than shoveling manure. He's a Grim Reaper. And he's going to teach Lex the family business. She quickly assimilates into the peculiar world of Croak, a town populated by reapers who deliver souls from this life to the next. But Lex can't stop her desire for justice — or is it vengeance? — whenever she encounters a murder victim, craving to stop the attackers before they can strike again. Will she ditch Croak and go rogue with her reaper skills?Rating Epithetical Books Croak (Croak #1)

I knew it! I knew this book will be awesome! You hear me evil guy who lives in my head and makes me choose shitty books?? DO-YOU-HEAR-ME???Instead of behaving like a brainless fangirl and squeal my ass off with useless words/sounds like ZOMG BFRRRR AAAA GAAAHHHH and ZIIING I chose to make a list of things that I loved about Croak. Fair enough? Im trying my best here so cut me some slack.Ok so, lets begin.But no, first I have to mention that the order has no special meaning. So you can stop3.5 stars Fun! It took about 20% for me to really get into the book (the narrative voice and humor seemed a little unusual to me at first), but once the story got going it was pretty cute and a very entertaining read. Good for those occasions when you want something a little more lighthearted...but with reapers.
Really enjoyed this :) A fun tale with action and plenty of humor with a dab of romance put in.I loved the concept of Croak and the Grims, Killing/Culling... Miss Damico did a great job creating this world and making you fall in love with the characters.Every one of the characters felt 'alive' to me, I felt like I could walk into Croak and just sit down with Grims in the diner. Mort was the 'cool uncle' you would love to have, mini crush on him :).Norwood I wanted to smack.. many times haha...
I'd never heard of this book before my best friend recommended it to me and I'm so glad that she did!I loved the writing and plot so much! It was really engaging and fun. I thought the characters were really relatable and real. These some really great dark humor from a couple of the characters which I really liked. And Lex was amazing. She's exactly what I look for in a female character. But the best part of this book is how entertaining it is. I really enjoyed reading it and I'd definitely
I thought this book was pretty good. It's extremely funny and becoming a reaper or grim as they call themselves in this book is a cool idea for a book. Lex has become a delinquent. She's attacking kids at school, teachers, whoever gets in the way. Her parents have had enough so they decide to send her to live with her uncle Mort for the summer. She doesn't want to leave her sister but it has to be done. So they put her on a bus and her life is going to be changed forever. "Hey there, cutie," he
::: Also posted on: http://jana-thebookgoddess.blogspot.com/Let's have a look at that gorgeous cover for a sec. The girl's pose, that thing she's holding, what she's wearing, the bold font - everything just screams WHAT AN AMAZING AND PROMISING BOOK THIS WILL BE. But don't be mislead by the cover (just as I was) because I must tell you, this is a book that I did not finish (and won't consider continuing or reading the two sequels).The concept was interesting, in lack of better word. I devoured
Lex turned her scythe over in her hands once more, unable to take her eyes off it. Its amazing.And so dark, too, said Zara. Ive never seen one that dark before.Uncle Mort rolled his eyes. So its agreed, the scythe is totally dreamy. He stood up and grinned that unglued smile again. But its nothing more than a butter knife until you put it into action. How do you make a different girl, a special girl into a main character that doesn't feel like a Mary Sue?- Make her a juvenile delinquent- Make
