When I picked up "Year of the Reaper," it turned out to be something entirely different. I was anticipating a story about a reaper, but it was rather about a person who experienced trauma and additionally can see ghosts from the plague. Most of the characters are intriguing, with flaws and depth. The slow burn romance in the book is quite endearing. And the concept of exploring the resilience of people in overcoming a pandemic is fascinating. Although it doesn't quite hit the mark, it's still definitely worth a read.
