How To Be Death
Amber Benson

Reviewed by Kathyrn Little
Posted June 22, 2012

Fantasy Urban

HOW TO BE DEATH occurs during the Death Dinner/All Hallows Eve celebration where every magical creatures is "equalized" aka normal. Calliope, the main character, is just figuring her new job despite the "guide book" left behind for her.

When several characters are killed Calliope must veer from the course she is on, set aside her relationships and solve the murders.

I felt that Calliope's character hasn't matured much since I had last seen her. Calliope can come off as jealous, untrusting, and petty. Other characters are nice enough, but Calliope takes a little getting used too. The plot felt, similar to the first couple of books in the series.

Fans of Amber Benson do not want to miss HOW TO BE DEATH.

SUMMARY

All Calliope Reaper-Jones ever wanted out of life was a fabulous job in New York City and a really hot boyfriend. But now, she's the brand-new President of Death, Inc. With the Board of Death breathing down her neck and her dad's copy of How to be Death (A Fully Annotated Guide) unopened, Callie's really feeling the tension. And when the guide book is stolen at a fancy formal dinner, Callie has to figure out how to be the boss--before the powers held within the book get out and destroy humanity forever...
