“A war against Death herself threatens mortal life, and everything after, in this epic urban fantasy.

[…]

In Death’s Company melds multiple mythologies together to create a unique and fascinating world. Told through dual perspectives from both May’s and Death’s points of view, the setting is divided equally between May’s hometown in Arizona and the underworld.

The complexity of the magic in In Death’s Company is fantastic. The world has layers of lore that feel like they have only been touched on in this first novel of an expected series. But even though it feels as though the worldbuilding could and will go far deeper, it is definitely deep enough from the first few pages..

There is so much to love in this book. The characters, plot, and worldbuilding all intertwine perfectly to create a wonderfully intricate, immensely bingeable story.

Along the way, there are so many hints as to how much subsequent books will ramp things up. There is so much space for characters to grow and for their relationships to develop.

The magic that May has tapped into is still new and has the potential for so much more. And there are indications of enemies waiting in the wings who will become a massive problem later. This is the kind of book that is a pleasure to read, but the anticipation of what’s to come makes it even better.

In Death’s Company is a phenomenal beginning to a promising new series. It teases some parts, leaving plenty of questions and surprises for future books. The mythology, the characters, the plot, the worldbuilding—this is a series you’ll want to get into.”
