About this listen

Cloudan Coustre isn't the driving force to save humanity, the universe, or even the kitten stuck in his neighbor's tree. He isn't a father, brother, spouse, nor significant other to anyone. When it comes right down to it, Cloudan Coustre isn't even alive. What is he then? He is the embodiment of death, this day and age's version of the Grim Reaper. Mr. Coustre is fed up with life as death, but what is a deity in middle management to do to effect change? More importantly, what happens when he figures that out?

Welcome to a snap shot into the life of being death. In this psychopomp form, death decides that being a part of the living suits him. Just long enough to get himself caught up in a murder investigation, then he watches as it all unrolls. Ending in a place he would never have imagined.

Great story about the myth behind the Reaper

The main story line was well thought out and truly enjoyable. It was interesting learning about the different periods in the Reapers life and how his powers work. It did get a little confusing towards the end with the cast of characters which I believe has more to do with listening to the story than reading it (hence the four stars). The narrator, John Pirhalla, did a wonderful job separating each voice of the characters and giving them their own voice. Overall all a thoroughly enjoyable series!

Enjoyable even if you don't know Mythology

It's been years since I had a mythology lesson in school and it's not something I am really interested in.

Anyway I was given this book free from Audiobook Boom in exchange for an honest review.

Overall this book was very enjoyable although it got a bit confusing around the last two hours of the book when there were several different mythological legends and gods being spoken about and for someone not familiar with the gods, it was kind of hard to remember which god was the god of what, etc.

I didn't like that the story ended on a cliff hanger, I never like it when I know a book is making me wait for a second book to find out how the story ends.

I did find the story well written, fun and the narrator did a good job of making each character sound unique.
It is worth a credit.

Amazing Performance

Audiobooks are supposed to take you on an adventure this book succeeds in that in so many ways. The voice actor truly brought it to life.

Mythology comes to life in Modern Times.

Reaper's Revenge is an interesting story that brings ancient mythology to life in modern times, in that respect it is somewhat
similar to Neil Gaiman's American God's novel. The novel follows the character of Cloudan who is the Grim Reaper in the form of a Metro sexual modern man who is quite stylish and dresses "just this side of douchey". He is a likeable character even when he is reaping people and has a pretty good sense of humor even if it can be a bit dark. He gets embroiled in a plot by other characters that change everything for him and possibly the world.

The story has a lot of different Gods and being from Mythology of all different cultures and how they come together and how things are still happening in modern times is pretty interesting. The narration by Christian Reinhardt was great and really fit the characters well especially Cloudan. I would definitely recommend the book as it was very entertaining and am a fan of mythology although I wouldn't say it is necessary to be a fan of it but it is a plus.

Brilliant

I really enjoyed this novel. If you like the gods, greek and norse, the epic heroes, and the reaper himself you will love this new age twist. The writing is brilliant. The narration is perfect, enhancing this great story. My only problem with this book is that it is a part one, and as of writing this part two has not been produced. I can't wait to find out how it ends. I highly recommend this series. I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left my honest review.

Loved all the mythology!!!

I'm not sure if I would have loved this book as much as I did had I not studied Greek and Norse mythology in school. Since I had, I enjoyed this book immensely!!

The reaper is beautiful, a bit of a douche, and just found out he can fall in love. There is so much subtext and quite a bit of mythology interspersed that you need to pay attention. With a good ear, this book takes you on a wonderful. and sometimes very funny, journey into the lives of the grim reaper.

The narration was easily the best part of this listen. The cast of characters is insane and its the narration that brings them to life - the muses, Apollo, you name it, they were all given special personas and characterizations.

The ending made me think that a second book was on deck. I don't see it, as yet, but I certainly hope there is one!

Mystery and Myths!

Life, Death, Love and Strength!
This author has combined these into a fascinating start of a new series.
The narration was top notch and spot on.

A different kind of urban fantasy...

... So I got this because it sounded different from the Urban Fantasy fare I regularly ingest, where Death (aka, the Grim Reaper), currently known as Cloudan Coustre, is actually the protagonist. And I found Cloudan to be a perfectly affable guy.
Seriously it's like, ummmm if the old black and white Fredric March movie, Death Takes a Holiday, , was merged with the series "The Almighty Johnsons"! (ooops I may have just dated myself, there... In my defence, the movie was a rerun!)
Yeah, you heard me, Death gets all mixed up with Norse mythology, and if that's not crazy enough, there's a smattering of Greek and Egyptian mythos sprinkled on top. As an added bonus, there's a plot to reverse the effects from Ragnarok! Because, I don't know as much about these things, I would occasionally lose my way in the narrative, but then Cloudan would start talking about clothing or somethin' and I'd laugh (often, right out loud) at the joke, and be right back on track!
John Pirhalla is a fantastic voice performer and he just nailed all the book's varied characters.
I'm pretty sure you'll love this book, especially if you enjoyed movies like Death takes a Holiday, Meet Joe Black, and Heaven Can Wait... only mixed in with a lot of mythology! 😊
