My name is Calliope Reaper-Jones (Callie to my friends). I’m Death’s Daughter and—as of very recently—the (reluctant) head of my father’s company, Death, Inc.
I was gradually learning how to be a businesswoman. Had the power suits and shoes down, though the day to day was slow going. Then I was blindsided by Enemies Unknown and sent off to I-don’t-know-where. Not a good thing.
Now not only must my friends and family be frantic, but without a CEO, Death, Inc., can’t function. With the newly deceased left free to roam the Earth, it’s the zombie apocalypse come true.
I’ve got to get back—for my sake and the sake of, oh, all humanity…
Goodreads Summary
Amber Benson’s novel, The Golden Age of Death, is a whirlwind of plot twists and humor. Callie
is death, literally. She is the President and CEO of Death Inc. Although Callie did not want the job, she is becoming quite skilled in her position when she suddenly disappears, taken by an unknown enemy.
Without death, what is the world to do? Turn into zombies, of course!
I liked Benson’s take on death and style of writing. The point of view moves from character to
character, keeping the plot fresh and memorable. I did not read the other novels in the series, but was
able to understand most of the book. Readers new to the series will not struggle to understand the
events of the Calliope Reaper-Jones series. Anyone who enjoys humor and adventure will love The
Golden Age of Death.

I've been meaning to read this series since I'm a huge Buffy fan! (She played Tara.) I'm not sure why I haven't gotten to it yet!

This sounds like a fun read! It certainly is an interesting twist. Makes me wonder just what "killed" death. Thanks for the review(:

- I'm a young college student who has probably read over 5000 books over the course of my short life; some of the books were classics, some of the books were terrific, and some of the books were...misses. Even with the latter part I will always believe in the power of books to completely remove the reader from his/her present reality. Long Live Books! I would love to read and review books from just about any genre. To contact me: edysicecreamlover18 AT gmail DOT com Thank you for your interest! At this time, I can only accept paperback or hardcover. The finished review copies I receive are either kept in my personal collection or donated to several libaries, schools, or charities-I have no control over the finished review copies after donation. *I claim no ownership for any images used on this site.
