Publisher's summary

Lex, a teenage Grim Reaper, has the power to damn souls - and it’s getting out of control. Her boyfriend, Driggs, is dead - sort of. She’s a fugitive, on the run from the maniacal new mayor of Croak and the townspeople who want to see her pay the price for her misdeeds.

Uncle Mort rounds up the Junior Grims to flee Croak once again, but this time they’re joined by Grotton, the most powerful Grim of all time. Their new mission is clear: Fix his mistakes, or the Afterlife will cease to exist, along with all the souls in it. The gang heads for Necropolis, the labyrinth-like capital city of the Grimsphere. There, they discover that the Grimsphere needs a reboot. To do that, the portals to the Afterlife must be destroyed...but even that may not be enough to fix the damage.

Things go from bad to worse, and when at last the fate of the afterlife and all the souls of the damned hang in the balance, it falls to Lex and her friends to make one final, impossible choice.

Sparklingly dark

This series has had me on my seat since listening to the preview. Jessica Almasy gives an amazing performance with all the quirks and sass that the bad ass character deserves. And Gina Daminco’s creative thoughts of death and after life to me we were provoking and original leaving more to be pondered. They were fantastic! A must read for anyone who wants a bite of the dark...

Great Book very sad end

I loved it but the ending was just so very sad every_time_ I_think_about_it_I cry

Good finale

a great ending to a great series, well performed by the narrator, I would recommend them all even if sci-fi fantasy isn't your thing

Dark but satisfying

Would you consider the audio edition of Rogue to be better than the print version?

I didn't read the print version of this book only listened to the Audio which was amazing.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved them all. While there was a lot going on in each book the character development was excellent.

Have you listened to any of Jessica Almasy’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, just as great. I love her narration, her ability to transport you into the story.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Life and death of the Grimsphere

And so it ends...

Would you consider the audio edition of Rogue to be better than the print version?

I have not read the printed version, but the narration was superb!

What did you like best about this story?

The story flowed ahead, but you found plenty of little whirlpools along the way offering twists to the story.

What about Jessica Almasy’s performance did you like?

Jessica offered one of the best performances I've ever heard. There is narration in the book, which I cannot discuss without spoiling it, but Jessica did a spectacular job of bringing Gina's words to life. All I can say is when you hear someone mention the "cusp of autumn" stand by for an amazingly well written dialog.

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

I wanted to listen to this book in one sitting. But at the same time, I did not want it to be over.

PLEASE take the time to listen to all three of these books. They are simply spectacular!

The end of the gray trilogy… Sniff, sniff

Yes, I loved all the snarky humor, sarcasm, and the storyline was great! The narration was great as well, I love the voices is that she gave for each character.

I don't want to provide any spoilers, so I can't go into detail, but the ending was very memorable.

Any additional comments?

I am sooooo sad to see this series end. I really loved the town of Croak and Lex and the gang. I'll miss these Grims, I feel invested in them. That means Ms. Damico did her job right. I love that even though this was a quite heavy book, it still had those moments of humor which was desperately needed. I'm so glad I picked up the series. HIGHLY recommended.

A wonderful ending

Witty, funny, emotional.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rogue?

The ending - I will say no more.

What about Jessica Almasy’s performance did you like?

Her portrayal of Grotton. He was great.

God story but the language

This is the 3rd book in a series geared primarily towards young adults. The story was good but the this particular book had quite a bit of unnecessary language. It really seemed the author was trying to hard to appeal to an older audience so she threw in a few F-bombs for the heck of it. I am not a prude but when the language isn't necessary and doesn't fit leave it out.
