Content: PG-13
Lex and the other teenage grim
reapers are no longer comfortable at Croak. Zara is going on a wild spree
damning both criminals and innocent individuals. The town of Croak is on edge
and scared. Zara will only stop her murderous rampage if Lex finds her a
sercret book that will grant her extraordinary power. Mort has been outed as mayor
and he takes Lex and the other juniors on a wild adventure. Can Lex find the
book Zara wants? How can Lex stop Zara? Is anyone safe?
The frequent pit stops and
make-out sessions get old. Lex is a fairly shallow character, but her guilt and
insecurity are relatable. The plot lags and refers a lot to rules learned in
book one, but ends with a catch punch. Readers who enjoyed Croak and like to
read books with grim reapers, adventure, humor, romance, action, and high
stakes will want to read this book and any possible sequels. HS. OPTIONAL.
