Synopsis: Half British Reaper, half Japanese Shinigami Ren Scarborough is no longer the girl who was chased out of England—she is the Goddess of Death ruling Japan’s underworld. But her problems have never been greater. Her Shinigami see her as a foreigner on the throne. Her brother, Neven, is gone, lost in the deep darkness. And her fiancé, Hiro, has been killed by her own hand.
Then Ren receives the most troubling news yet—Reapers have been spotted in Japan, and it’s only a matter of time before Ivy, now Britain’s Death Goddess, comes to claim her revenge.
Ren’s last hope is to appeal to the god of storms and seas, who can turn the tides to send Ivy’s ship away from Japan’s shores. But he’ll help Ren only if she finds a sword lost thousands of years ago—an impossible demand.
Together with the moon god Tsukuyomi, who shares an uncanny resemblance to his brother Hiro, Ren ventures across the country in a race against time. As her journey thrusts her into the middle of scheming gods and dangerous Yokai demons, Ren will have to learn who she can truly trust—and the fate of Japan hangs in the balance. (Synopsis from Goodreads)
My Thoughts: Fantastic! I greatly enjoyed this sequel. This book concludes this duology, and I'm glad I got to read it. I just really enjoyed the paranormal aspects of the story. Death gods and Shinigami are just a lot of fun to read about.
This story takes place 10 years after the events in Book 1, which was a little bit of a surprise. The first book ended on a cliffhanger, so I wasn't expecting that big of a time jump.
There was a lot of stuff happening in this story. I was never bored, I was always engaged. I needed to find out what was going to happen.
I enjoyed my time reading this. I'd definitely recommend this series.
