About this listen

The zombie apocalypse was just the beginning of vampire hunter Emily's problems. Now she must team up with Death himself in this thrilling apocalyptic adventure series!

It's been two years since the zombie uprising devoured 99% of the world's population - and the vampires have come out of the shadows to claim the spoils. It's Emily Campbell's job to destroy vampire communes and rescue their human herds, but when a mission goes wrong, and she faces certain undeath, she would rather die than ever let them transform her. The problem is that when she makes a desperate suicide attempt, not only does the Grim Reaper fail to take her life - he also somehow loses all his powers in the process.

Now neither alive nor dead, Emily is stranded in the California desert with Death himself. She has heard the remnants of human civilization are developing a cure that could make her alive again in New York - all the way on the other side of the vampire- and zombie-swarmed continent. Only with Death's help does she have a chance to complete the journey. But without his powers, Death is mired in a crisis of his own. And he is not used to having company.

I have been a fan of the authors work for a while and her writing style is as enjoyable as ever. She brings a good deal of depth to the main cast, as expected, and sets up a thematically pleasing story. The rules of the world are fleshed out, understandable and the mythological references are enjoyable and woven into the driving force of the narrative. However, this book is very clearly the first in a series. The character arch’s coincide very satisfyingly by the end of this part but it does feel like the story itself has yet to begin. This book is quite a bit of set up for a much bigger narrative.
I am looking forward to the next book in this series but I would recommend that readers pace themselves as they will be left feeling like the book ended too soon. It is as if the fellowship of the ring ended when the party set off from Rivendell.
The performance by Odom was well rounded and competent with a good pace. Some of the choices for character voices were a little distracting. Overall though I hope that she continues to narrate the further books in the company of death series.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Company of Death. The characters are engaging and the plot no more ridiculous than any other fantasy or Sci-fi novel. It is a Sci-fi novel, but also a fantasy, a horror story, and it is humorous. The story is well paced with the characters lurching from one predicament to another with hardly. time for the reader to catch a breath in between. At last after a sudden plot twist...you realise that there is going to be a sequel and that's why it didn't get 5 stars. The last star is for when. the story finishes, on current showing it will deserve it.

You can't stop here!

I couldn't get into this story, it just wasn't grabbing my attention, maybe I'll give it another go.
