About this book
Welcome to Limbo City, a gritty, modern metropolis where the afterlife is anything but peaceful. Lana Harvey is a reaper with a rebellious streak and a talent for doing the absolute bare minimum. While she would much rather spend her eternity sipping drinks at the Purgatory Lounge with a charming archangel, her lazy existence is shattered when an unexpected promotion forces her into the center of a celestial conspiracy.
This series opener is a masterclass in urban fantasy, blending sharp, dark humor with a complex mythological backbone. Lana is the perfect anti-heroine for those who crave a protagonist with attitude, sass, and a complicated moral compass. As she navigates a world filled with bureaucratic nightmares and divine secrets, she is also offered a rare second-chance at proving her worth—if she can survive the fallout of a job that threatens to tear Eternity apart.
If you are a fan of witty, character-driven paranormal romance and fast-paced supernatural action, this is your next obsession. With its immersive world-building and a cast of memorable, supernatural beings, the journey through Limbo City is as addictive as it is entertaining. Prepare yourself for a hell of a ride that you won't want to leave.

The grim reaper has been done before, so it's hard not to compare this character, Lana Harvey, with other author's interpretations. For example, I love the character of Charley Davidson in Darynda Jones' series First Grave on the Right, etc..., but that character is pretty much set in our world, with other worldly beings popping in and out. What Ms. Roquet has done is to create another world, one wholly inhabited by otherworldly characters, among whom the reapers make appearances in our world...

As my first foray reading Roquet’s novels, I must admit that this was a delightfully amusing read. Fans of Darynda Jones will want to check this series out. Lana’s not your average Reaper. She’s sarcastic, prone to breaking the rules, and a bit of a slacker. Yet at the same time she’s loyal to her friends, willing to fight for what she believes in, and can kick some serious butt when necessary. She’s someone I’d love to hang out with if given the chance. Gabriel, Maalik, and Josie were...

Quick summary at the top: overall, this is a fun, light read with a few really fun characters and a few flat ones. If you want some cool world-building and interesting set-up for a longer series, this book's for you. I'd call this a 3.5/5 overall. Now to go a little more in depth. I'll try to avoid spoilers, but be warned there MAY be some ahead. No real specifics, but still! So, I received this book for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. I'm not usually an urban fantasy...

I liked GRAVEYARD SHIFT very much. It was a rollicking ride into an imaginary world where grim reapers hang out with archangels in the Purgatory Lounge in a place called Limbo City. If that doesn't grab your paranormal attention, what will? Oh, and I rarely comment on this, but I liked the cover a lot, too! In fact, the cover grabbed my attention before I even read the title. As an author, I know that world-building is very tough and whatever you do in the first book lays the foundation for...

I love this series. I had read this book way back in 2016 or around there. I can count on one hand how many books I ever reread. There’s too many on my tbr list to ever read books over. However, this is one that always sticks in my mind. Love the world! This time, I listened to the audiobook. So much fun. I pretty much listened in one night at work. The characters are interesting. The series gets more involved and interesting as the books go along. I still haven’t read the last few so I can’t...
