4.5 stars
This was an unexpected surprise!
I was super confused when I started this, because things like this happened:
About four applications later, a streak of blood spatter hits my screen, startling the fuck out of me. I rip my headphones off and turn in my chair just in time for a dismembered arm to come flying at me. The thing lands in my lap as my eyes go buggy at the absolute carnage behind me. It’s not as bad as the diner, but I don’t think the library is going to be able to afford the clean up.
Euuhh… wait… what?? This guy walks into the library to find a job and he sees a man murdering people and he is simply mad because the dismembered arm leaves blood on his shirt??
Even though I had no idea what was going on I fell in love with Romily immediately. He was just awesome. The way he saw the world was so much fun.
I roll my eyes at the guy and point to my ruined clothes. He glances down at them, and I raise my fingers, rubbing them together to indicate he owes me money for a new outfit. He doesn’t, and I let my amused smirk speak for itself. My teasing earns me a small smile before he stalks over to me and hands me another hundred-dollar bill. I give him a bright smile and that’s it. He grabs a book off the floor, shakes the blood off it, and leaves. Damn that man is fine.
Romily is a mute young man who had his vocal cords removed by his father, the cult leader. Yes, it is just as ridiculous as it sounds. He can’t talk, but he sure knows how to ‘talk’ to people with his whole body and attitude.
When he sees a man going on a murder spree (twice) he can’t get the man out of his head.
Turns out there is a whole paranormal world out there and Fox, the murdering psycho, is a reaper, sent out to kill bad men. The reason Romily can see through the glamor isn’t quite explained, but I think you just need to go with the flow in this book.
Who cares if it makes sense? This book is fun, so much fun. Go read it.

Oh - good one! I can use some fun, and it sounds like as if it would deliver! :-)
It's such a light fun book. Definitely worth a read. I hope you'll like it!
