Book Review: Fireweed & Brimstone (A Grim Reality Series– Book 3) by Boone Brux

It seems rather fitting that I’m a grim reaper who happens to be a widow. In fact, my husband’s death ignited a chain of events that shook my life and landed me as GRS’s newest grim reaper. He’s been dead for over a year, but I can’t shake the feeling that the circumstances surrounding his car accident aren’t what they appear.

My suspicions are confirmed when I find a receipt for a storage locker rented in his name. Of course, I have to investigate, but what will I find? Was he leading a double life, cheating on me? If only. What I find makes me wish another family in Ohio was all he’d been mixed up in.

As pieces of the puzzle surrounding my husband’s death fall into place, I discover a scheme so diabolical, it could change the face of death as we know it—and not in a good way. Using our mad reaper skills, my partner Nate and I skirt the edge of ethereal rules, call on some old friends to help, and learn there’s a lot more to being a grim reaper than we ever imagined—or wanted to know.


Lisa has been a grim reaper for two years now since her husband’s car accident which may not be such an accident after all. Nate, her partner and possibly boyfriend, work together to try to figure out what is going on with other reaper’s and what Jeff’s possible connection could be.

Never one to disappoint, Brux’s third book in the Grime Reality Series is funny and easy to read. Her characters are engaging and relatable, complete with their own quirks and issues. My only complaint is that I would have liked the book to be longer and continue a little farter instead of waiting for the next installment. I felt it was a little unfinished for me.

Halloween wouldn't be complete without a good haunting, or without some wayward spirit messing up my plans. My name is Lisa, and because I'm a grim reaper, I'll be spending All Hallows Eve trying to capture the ghost of a serial killer instead doing normal things like trick-or-treating with my kids, or drinking wine while I pass out candy.

Yep, that about sums up my life.

The only good things I have going for me tonight are the gigantic sack of Halloween candy stuffed in my purse, and the fact that Nate isn't too bad to look at. No doubt, the evening will be a night to remember...if I make it out alive.


Lisa is a grim reaper, but her plans for Halloween were to take her kids trick or treating and of course to gorge on candy. Constantine, however had a different plan for her and her partner, Nate. He wants them to go to a closed theatre and reap a serial killer, who only shows up once a year on Halloween. As Nate and Lisa start interviewing ghosts at the theatre it is clear that there is more to the story than what meets the eye.

Another fun and entertaining story by Brux. Her characters have so much humor that reading her stories always brings a smile to my face. Next up for Brux is a Grim Reality Spinoff called Hellbound In Vegas which is about Mara and Cam but I am hoping a the next book in this series which is due out next May will show case some romance between Lisa and Nate.

Book Review: Styx & Stoned (A Grim Reality Series Book 2) by Boone Brux

Las Vegas! All expenses paid!

Normally, a trip like that would be a dream come true for a widowed, mother of three, who just happens to be grim reaper. Here’s the thing though, situations rarely work out as I imagine they should. And usually not in my favor.

This time isn’t any different. Instead of the endless free drinks and gambling I’d been hoping for, I get the opposite—demons, water zombies, and a bimbo ghost roommate, who gives new meaning to the phrase dead drunk.

But it’s not all bad. I’m making new friends, learning spectacular reaper skills, and saving souls. I just hope I don’t lose mine before I can get the Underworld all sorted out.

A week in Vegas sounded heavenly for Lisa, widowed mother of three and Grim Reaper. Lisa was traveling to Vegas for a GRS conference which sounded rather dull but might be fun. When Lisa arrives in Vegas she is so surprised to find more souls than she usually sees in an area. Maybe Vegas just has more dead? Who knows, food, alcohol, sleep and gambling awaits and not necessarily in that order! Here she meets Mara and Cam who are partners like her and Nate are. Mara and Lisa become instant friends and find themselves in all kinds of trouble.

Brux has a hilarious writing style that keeps you laughing and smiling through the whole book. Her characters are relatable even if they are grim reapers, angels, demons and souls. Another fabulous book in this series and I will be impatiently awaiting the next adventure.

Book Review: To Catch Her Death (A Grim Reality Series–Book 1) by Boone Brux

To Catch Her Death (A Grim Reality Series– Book 1)
by Boone Brux
Paperback, 204 pages
Published October 17th 2013

by Red Hot Publishing
What do you get when you cross a hockey mom with the grim reaper?

Me, Lisa Carron. If being a depressed, frumpy, widowed mother of three wasn't bad enough, I just found out I'm a grim reaper. I know what you're thinking. Wow, that's kind of sexy and full of awesomeness. Hardly. Oh, and my clients? Stupid people. Like I don't get enough of that from the living.

Since Alaska is big and angels of death are few, I've been partnered with reaper extraordinaire, Nate Cramer. He's strong, silent, and way too good looking for my recently widowed state. Oh, and he reaps violent criminals, so that should be interesting.

Forget the danger and the hours of self-analysis it will take for me to find my reaper mojo. My biggest problem? Hiding it all from my overly attentive family and nosy neighbors. Now that's going to take a miracle.


Lisa’s husband died a year ago and she had become a single mother of three. Plagued with depression she let herself go and focused solely on her kids. Finally, deciding after a year of moping around she would have a weekend of me time, she found herself smack dab in the middle of a convenience store robbery, where the robber was shot and killed. Next thing she knew, there was a ghost stuck to her and a hotty telling her not to let go.

Boone Brux and Darynda Jones need to get together and write a book. Both have a great quirky sense of humor that would create a hysterical paranormal story. From a mom perspective I totally related to Lisa, from the way she thought because she had kids, to the way she sometimes felt about her mom. Great humor and an easy, fun read filled with grim reapers and the afterlife. I look forward to exploring other books by Boone Brux and the next story in the Grim Reality series.
