My thoughts on The Reaper’s Quota
When I agreed to review The Reaper’s Quota for the 2022 BBNYA winner’s tour, I had no idea that it would end up being one of my favorite reads of the year. The book follows Reaper #2497, who was known as Steve in his human life. Despite being good at extinguishing the lives of those he is assigned to, Steve struggles meeting his random quota of deaths. As a reaper, he was supposed to lose his human traits, but he maintains his empathy and only wants to take the lives of those who deserve it.
Steve’s slacker ways catch the attention of the “Big Boss,” and he is threatened with execution if he doesn’t meet his quota of random deaths for the month. The world that author Sarah McKnight creates is extraordinary, and her descriptive writing style captures the reader’s imagination. The reaper underworld is thought-provoking and highly entertaining, with unexpected moments of humor throughout, especially in Steve’s Random Death Reports.
The book ends with a fantastic cliff-hanger, and I was thrilled to discover that the sequel is already available. I highly recommend The Reaper’s Quota to fans of dark humor, satire, and creative storytelling. It’s a unique and captivating read that will leave you eagerly anticipating the next installment, “Chasing the Reaper.” Keep an eye out for The Reaper’s Quota on my “Best of the Year” list!

Wonderful review, Gina. This sounds like my kind of read.
Although I hate books that end on a cliffhanger, I might have to check The Reaper’s Quota out.
