Pocket Full of Posies (Lana Harvey, Reapers Inc., #2)

by Angela Roquet

Little reaper, big afterlife.

The promise of peace in Limbo City is threatened once again, but this time the terrorists have a more specific target in mind: Lana Harvey. The up and coming reaper thought passing her classes at the Reaper Academy was going to be her biggest challenge, but when a rebel demon sends her apartment up in flames, she realizes that her victories from the previous year haven’t gone so unnoticed after all…

To make matters worse, the Afterlife Council has taken notice of Lana, too. The Egyptian god Horus is blackmailing her into joining the Posy Unit so she can do an illegal side job for him, and Cindy Morningstar, Lucifer’s daughter, insists that she take a two-week training course with the devilishly tempting Beelzebub, much to her angelic boyfriend’s chagrin.

1) Graveyard Shift ★★★★

Lana's success with her Special Ops assignment in Graveyard Shift has her moving up from low-risk harvesting and back to school. In addition to the mentoring course that Grim enrolled her in, Josie got Lana to take another course at the academy and Cindy Morningstar has encouraged Lana to take a course in Demon Defense from Beelzebub himself (Bub for short) in exchange for council votes in her favor.

This book focuses on politics, bribery, and education and it sets the stage for a lot of the remainder of the series. While the book lacked an editor (pick me! pick me!), I found the story and world engaging enough to not be completely turned off by it. It is a fast paced and quick read, engaging from start to finish. While not as good as its predecessor, it is still an enjoyable read!
