Kingston Raine and the Grim Reaper Kindle Edition

by Jackson Lear (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 173 ratings

For fans of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, and Douglas Adams.

Even the Grim Reaper can have a bad day. When one of Hell's inept devils scares the wrong man to death, the Grim Reaper and Satan are forced to cover it up so that none of Limbo's lawyers can discover the truth. But this simple mishap sets off a chain of events that brings Death face to face with someone who has the power to strip him of all his authority: a bureaucratic angel desperate to up-end the afterlife and rule with an iron fist.

If Death has any hope of saving mankind he must put his faith in the one man more troublesome than Satan himself: Kingston Raine.

5.0 out of 5 stars It all starts with a wrongful death...
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2017

Such a hilarious, irreverent look at the afterlife where Heaven and Hell are designated as North and South, Satan and the Grim Reaper are best friends, and you can have a job in Limbo much like your job in Life. So what happens when one of Satan's agents accidentally kills an author he was sent to scare into completing his book? Well, Death and Satan try to cover it up, of course, and sends the author back to Life. Unfortunately someone trying to take over Limbo finds out and all Hell breaks loose, pun intended. Follow the poor characters who are ripped from Life, Limbo and Fiction as they try to correct all the blunders that keep happening the harder they try. Also get another quirky look at some of your favorite classic stories as our friends travel through Fiction in search of Raine's girlfriend Joanna. You will laugh out loud and totally be unable to stop reading as each page becomes more impossible than the last. What an enjoyable first book in this series of Kingston Raine and his adventures in Death Inc. and Limbo. I can't wait for more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some times being Death is not all it is cracked up to be.
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2016
Verified Purchase
I purchased this book because it seemed different from everything else I was on a roll reading. I was not disappointed. There is action, adventure and some giggles. It has paranormal characters so if you do not want to read about the grim reaper being besties with the devil himself or how fictional characters can become best friends with other fictional characters from other books, then skip it. If you are ok with all that then get this thing and spend a few days in the life of the Grim reaper. Who knew death was big business?
It got some what confusing at times jumping from one characters narrative to the other but as long as you are not trying to do 2 things at once and read you should be good.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Twist On The Afterlife
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2016

A twist of the afterlife that is humorous, fun, full of action, fast paced, and provides a very enjoyable read. The plot is unique, that characters are well developed, and the book is hard to put down. Full of twists and turns with a good ending. I highly recommend this book unless you are offended by the existence of the devil and satan.
I received this book from the author thru Library Thing in exchange for an honest review, but also purchased it for my library.

The story seems forced and didn't flow easily. I quit reading about 1/3 of the way through. Won't be buying any more by this author. Just not my style.

I enjoyed this witty fantasy about an author who offends Death enough to cause the author’s main character to come to life. Chaos ensues.

First, I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. And I loved it! It's a fun, fast, entertaining read that I found difficult to put down partially because it was so well written. The characters are a surprise and well developed. The story is riotous and takes you along on the ride. I really cared about the all the characters Jackson Lear created and I look forward to reading more of his writing.

If you want a story that follows a do this then that will happen format don't read this book. If you want a story that will keep you wondering what and who else can happen in it then this is for you.
The concept was a surprise in the best way possible with humor, odd ball characters that you want to get to know better along with all the humorous issues the characters end up in. A great read and one i plan to follow up on with the next book in the series.

Loved every page of this book. It was unpredictable and funny. The characters were all great. It takes a light-hearted look at death, Limbo and He'll.

Didn’t like this book. It sort of went round and round.
I struggled to get through it. There wasn’t any thing that I thought was exciting, nothing that dragged me back to see what happens next.
