Loading... The Golden Age of Death (Calliope Reaper-Jones, #5) (edition 2013)by Amber BensonStarted reading May 10th, 2013. As I liked all other books in the series (this being the fifth) and having read one other book by Amber Benson, I am looking forward to it. Read a few reviews here on goodreads and after finishing it, I have to disagree with them. Wether this is the final book or not, it is the best in the series. Daniel is a douchebag and was a bad choice from the heroine as a boyfriend, here he also comes over es being overly dependent on his girl and slightly whiney. Without spoiling the story, I cannot say more, but imho if there are more books she can stay single for all I care or chose a better one. This book was also better than a few of the ones before, as we where not constantly treated with styling choices or shopping-sprees. If this is the last one (I am not so sure of it), it was very good ending to the 5-book-series. Therefore, for me, it is 5 stars. Our Review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Associate Reviewer - Kathy M: *Copy received from the Publisher in exchange for an honest review Callie, the dark and funny protagonist in Amber Benson’s Calliope Reaper-Jones series, just can’t get a break! Due to the untimely death of her father (murdered), Callie must now run the family business, Death, Inc. and try to find time for romance with her boyfriend Daniel, the former right hand of the devil. The Golden Age Of Death is a wonderful mix of macabre humor, witty dialogue, horror and hairpin twists and turns. And without giving anything away, I’ve got to say that the ending completely blindsided me. I enjoyed this book very much. LITERAL ADDICTION's Associate Reviewer gives The Golden Age of Death 4 1/2 skulls. |
