About this listen

Just like all little girls, I hoped I was special and that one day my powers would be revealed. My parents would be bewildered, my friends would equally worship and envy me, and my bullies would run away in terror! Nothing happened when I turned 10. I didn't grow wings at 12, still wasn't able to make things move with my mind at 14, and at 16, I was already too old to believe in such nonsense. Well, what do you think happened the day I turned 18? I got the confirmation that I was only human. In the mail! Oh, and also an invitation to apply to the Grim Reaper Academy. Because, apparently, humans can be Grim Reapers, too.

Fast forward to day one, semester one, year one. There's a test! No one told me I'd have to take a test to enter! But there are only 22 Reapers in the world, the competition is tough, so I guess it makes sense? If I pass, then I will be sorted according to what kind of Death I'll make if I survive the rigors of the Academy.

But this is my chance, dammit! This is what I've been waiting for all my life! Okay, so I'm not a princess, or a mermaid, or Sailor Moon. But I can be a Grim Reaper one day. I'll take it!

Contains mature themes.

Be aware that the fmc was bullied relentlessly in the beginning to nearly the end. And no one came to her rescue and because she is a norm (human) she can't really do anything to fight back. Still an interesting and entertaining story. I can't wait for her to comes to her powers and starts to fights back. The narrative ia fantastic.

Loved the story line and characters. Be aware there is swearing even the “C” word is used don’t know why authors feel the need to have swearing in their stories ( it is not necessary)

Great story

It’s supposed to be set modern day. And they are suppose to be 18. However the rest of the academy (bar MC) aren’t. And it’s very confusing. Would make more sense to have them as the great x100 grandkids instead of them from the Old Testament in modern day. But if you think of them as the grandkids makes a lot more sense. Especially the maturity level of them all

Good story line. But I’m confused
