I got that book because of its author, who plays Tara in Buffy. The book is the story of Calliope Reaper-Jones who, as we learn quite quickly and guess from the title, is Death's daughter. Problem is, Death (Calliope's dad) got kidnapped, and Calliope inherits from the family business for the time it takes to fix everything. Calliope absolutely doesn't want the job, so she goes to find her father (and sister who had the bad idea to get kidnapped at the same time). Verdict: it's a nice read, but it's not a great read. Didn't hate it, but probably a quick read that will be quickly forgotten.
