This was a fun book to read. I liked the premise a lot: Death's daughter would like to live a normal life but keeps getting pulled back into the family business. The lead character is sassy and smart. I enjoyed her adventures and encounters with a mixture of gods and deities from mythology and various world religions. A few points on the negative side. I got a little tired of the main character's obsession with sex. This is the second book in a series and it spends a lot of time reviewing events from the first book ("Death's Daughter"). So even though I hadn't read the first book, I pretty much knew the whole story by the end of this book. Without all the review, the book would have been much shorter. Finally, the book could have used some better editing; I was distracted by poor writing and word choice several times. Ultimately though, a good time was had and I would recommend this as a light, diverting tale.
