Publisher's summary

Fed up with her wild behavior, 16-year-old Lex’s parents ship her off to upstate New York to live with her Uncle Mort for the summer, hoping that a few months of dirty farm work will whip her back into shape. But Uncle Mort’s true occupation is much dirtier than shoveling manure. He’s a Grim Reaper. And he’s going to teach Lex the family business.

She quickly assimilates into the peculiar world of Croak, a town populated by reapers who deliver souls from this life to the next. But Lex can’t stop her desire for justice - or is it vengeance? - whenever she encounters a murder victim, craving to stop the attackers before they can strike again. Will she ditch Croak and go rogue with her reaper skills?

Could not stop listening

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes matter of fact I did. I didn't do any work and listened to the whole trilogy in one day

Hilariously Enthralling

Would you listen to Croak again? Why?

Yes, absolutely. The entire series is now in my favourites list. The Lex's voice is witty, sarcastic, caustic and just plain fun. Her attitude is endearing and hilarious, and I would read it several more times.

What does Jessica Almasy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She brings Lex's attitude and voice to life.

Not bad

I probably wouldn't listen again, but I think this book is pretty good for the targeted young adult audience. Interesting story, those that like it will look forward to the sequel.

I usually pick bad books, but did alright on this!

What made the experience of listening to Croak the most enjoyable?

It was a fun story that didn't take a lot of concentration. I worked and listened to it and made the day fly by.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I think Lex was my favorite character. Even though some of her antics were far fetched in the beginning of the book she turned funnier and more likeable by the end.

What does Jessica Almasy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I'm almost a couple decades removed from being a teen so having the teen voice in my ear made it all the more real.

Dying to read the second book

Good fast paced dark story. Good young adult offering, some questionable material for younger kids.

Great story!

It's a great story and the reading is wonderful. You don't have to be a young adult to like the story either. I thought it was really well thought out. I figured it out before the end but still think it's well worth the listen.
