A young man encounters the Grim Reaper who is searching for a successor. The story deals with an abused, grief-stricken and impoverished Sonny who is just trying to get by day by day after the death of his father. He has a turbulent relationship with his mother and after moving to a new town for a new start, Sonny begins to notice that someone, or something else has come with them... cue Death the Grim Reaper. Death has been alive for 1000 years and is searching for someone to take over. Along for the journey is Jess, a beautiful girl who is the daughter of a pastor who misses her mother. This is a story about grief and about life. The story was formatted in an interesting way and filled with little quotes throughout. Overall, it was an okay read. Death was pretty quirky for someone who is 1000 years old.
