It wouldn't be, especially to Death's Daughter I think my biggest problem with the book was that everything between the end of the sex scene and the scene with Marcel in the subway station made no sense. What I love about this book is not only does Amber create a story that has a sense of largeness and could have easily spiraled out of control, but she keeps it tight and focused as Callie deals with every challenge and obstacle that is thrown at her in her clumsy, spazzy, fiercely determined, strong willed and oh so human way.

More filters. Sort order. Jun 04, Meg rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites , favorite-books , read-in Callie might seem like she has her life under control, she has a new boyfriend and is trying to succeed in having that normal life that she desperately wants.
She has been pretty successful too, that is until her older sister Thalia comes back into the picture. Thalia has made a deal with the devil that could put everything the Reaper-Jones family has worked so hard to achieve on the line. There is only one person who could go up against the devil, Thalia, and make sure her family keeps their business. Calliope thinks she can handle it all and go back to her normal life afterwards, but everything is never as easy as Calliope thinks it is. The first two novels, while entertaining, were very formulaic which made it easy for me, as the reader, to sometimes see where things were going.
I am pleased to say that this novel did not follow that same formulaic plot. The twists and turns that this novel brings to the series are incredible. This novel took everything that readers knew about the world and about the characters and threw it all on its head, I applaud Benson as a writer for having the courage to do that mid series. Another thing that I love not just about this book but about the series in general is Calliope herself.
Calliope is one of the greatest female main characters I have read in the Fantasy genre for the sole factor alone that she is stubborn and never changes who she is. There is something about a character who knows from the beginning who she is that is so refreshing. From day one, readers have known exactly who Calliope is and the type of person that she is, it is unshakable. No matter what situation Calliope might find herself in her morals, values, and identity are intact always.
I love that! It makes every plot point and situation in each novel specific to Calliope. What I mean by this is that before this novel, I thought I knew everything about the world and had seen everything in the world of Calliope Reaper- Jones, I was mistaken. Benson brings a whole new aspect to the world in this novel. This series is truly for any reader who wants a down to earth, realistic even if that means stubborn, main female protagonist. I recommend this book and this series to readers who are looking for something refreshing in the Fantasy genre. Feb 10, Kelly rated it really liked it.
The beginning is a little annoying, with Callie in full-on flippant mode, bored with her boyfriend Daniel for a rather obnoxious reason. Callie now has to take on great responsibilities while trying to figure out who is on her side and who is a secret enemy. The wrap-up of the main plot is satisfactory. Callie undergoes a large amount of growth, and develops into a stronger, more independent character who is ready for heavier responsibilities.

Aug 02, Shelley rated it liked it Shelves: urban-fantasy , releases. She has set out to be different from her family, and try to make a living in the corporate world while also living in the uber expensive city of New York. In previous installments, Hy has sent her out for some strange and bizarre foods. Of course, having a superhot boyfriend Daniel, the Devil's protege does make it all the more bearable; even if he isn't entirely human.
Then, she starts to think things with Daniel have become stale and boring. Daniel knows that the Devil wants to challenge God for the leadership of Heaven, and will be in a better position to do so when his minion is in charge of Death Inc.

Callie has no choice this time around in becoming Death, herself. Now Callie has received half of his power, since the other half still is split between her and Daniel, and she must try to save her younger sister Clio and her mother who are being held prisoner by Thalia and her minions. Call it double betrayal if you like.. She wants him to kill her. Thalia crosses her fingers, and promises.
See a Problem?
Hyacinth and Callie then escape via helicopter and meet a character named Watatsumi Sumi who appears as a Japanese male, and shifts into a Purple Jellyfish. Sumi, also has a ulterior motive for wanting to help Callie, and gives her a diamond to use, swallow.
Callie finds herself able to shift into a lock ness monster-like creature. The only problem is, the diamond also binds her to Sumi, something Jarvis, in a surprise return from being dead, advises her. Callie meets someone she never knew existed before; Starr, who is a siren like her own mother. Starr is supposed to look out for Callie, but she releases her to go her own way. Callie never did call on her again, which she promised to do. Callie and Jarvis, who is not really dead after-all because Callie is such an awful Death, travel to Heaven to meet up with God, who basically opens her eyes to the fact that she can do whatever she wants.
She may not be perfect, but what mortal really is? After, Callie and Marcel promise a truce until she has the full power of Death behind her. Another surprise takes Callie's breath away. Something that kills 13 innocent mortals on the subway, as well as a Vargr, werewolf, who tries to attack her. My favorite characters of the series, by far, is Runt and Cherebus.
This time, they both agree to help Callie overthrow the devil by luring him away from Purgatory where he and Thalia are making an all out assault against the company. Callie also calls on the Harvesters, and Transporters to help her win the battle, which they do.
Sumi, Hy and Frank have been working together against Thalia and the Devil. Frank, however, doesn't really want the job, or so he says. He wants Callie as his Queen. Father McGee, who was the family lawyer, betrayed them to Marcel, giving him the opportunity to find his one and only weakness, as well as Thalia, who is killed, and Callie, who survives thanks to Daniel, Kali and Runt.
McGee claims he did it because he was tired of aging, and wanted to be young again. Daniel then gives Callie the Cup of Jamshid, which gives her the power of Death fully. Later, Callie, now Death, and Daniel, who has taken over Hell's responsibilities, go their seperate ways. Final thoughts.

At the end, after God tells her that she expected to make mistakes, Callie becomes a much more likeable, and stronger character to me. She does what needs to be done to save her sister, and mother, who later disappears to the sea after watching her husband beheaded by Marcel. I enjoy Kali, the Hindo Goddess, and Callie's best friend. With friends like Kali, Runt and Cerberus on your side, you cant go wrong.
I'm wondering if there will be another book in this series, or was this intended to be a trilogy leading to Callie becoming the Grim Reaper. Aug 26, Rodrigo rated it liked it Shelves: urban-fantasy. Having read the first 3 books, I have to say this is the one I enjoyed the least.
