Croak

Sixteen-year-old Lex Bartleby has sucker-punched her last classmate. Fed up with her punkish, wild behavior, her parents ship her off to upstate New York to live with her Uncle Mort for the summer, hoping that a few months of dirty farm work will whip her back into shape.
But Uncle Mort's true occupation is much dirtier than that of shoveling manure. He's a Grim Reaper. And he's going to teach her the family business. Lex quickly assimilates into the peculiar world of Croak, a town populated entirely by reapers who deliver souls from this life to the next. Along with her infuriating yet intriguing partner Driggs and a rockstar crew of fellow Grim apprentices, Lex is soon zapping her Targets like a natural born Killer.
Yet her innate ability morphs into an unchecked desire for justice--or is it vengeance?--whenever she's forced to Kill a murder victim, craving to stop the attackers before they can strike again. So when people start to die--that is, people who aren't "supposed" to be dying, people who have committed grievous crimes against the innocent--Lex's curiosity is piqued. Her obsession grows as the bodies pile up, and a troubling question begins to swirl through her mind: if she succeeds in tracking down the murderer, will she stop the carnage--or will she ditch Croak and join in?

Åh, jag älskar den här boken redan. Jag läste första tredjedelen igår när jag låg på sjukhus och hade tråkigt. Tyckte att det var rätt ställe att läsa om död och liemän på.

Lex är fantastisk. Jag älskar hennes sarkasm och aggressivitet och jag älskar Uncle Mort. 

Det känns väldigt mycket som "Mitt liv som död" som jag följde slaviskt när det gick på tv. Lex är bara så mycket coolare än George och lite mer sympatisk trots sitt beteende. 

Det ska bli himla spännande att läsa resten. Jag tror att jag äntligen hittat en bok som kan få ut mig ur min lässvacka. Yay!
