Chronicles of Zoey Grimm #2
Revenge of the Scythe
What happens to a vampire’s soul when it dies?
Hell if I know!
The new vampire queen intends to lead her kind from the shadows, to dominate humanity.
I’ll be damned before I let that happen!
I’ve taken down so many vampires already.
You’d think we’d be making progress.
Why, then, are the vampires getting stronger?
I’m afraid this whole situation is about to bite me in the butt.
Perhaps, even, literally.
Revenge of the Scythe is the second book in The Chronicles of Zoey Grimm - a paranormal adventure, a fast-paced urban fantasy featuring a slow burn closed door romance. This is not a reverse-harem.

About the author
Theophilus Monroe
157 books292 followersTheophilus Monroe is a fantasy author with a knack for real-life characters whose supernatural experiences speak to the pangs of ordinary life. After earning his Ph.D. in Theology, he decided that academic treatises that no one will read (beyond other academics) was a dull way to spend his life. So, he began using his background in religious studies to create new worlds and forms of magic-informed by religious myths, ancient and modern-that would intrigue readers, inspire imaginations, and speak to real-world problems in fantastical ways.

This was just annoying and frustrating to read.

very annoying
It’s the over explaining for me, and the conversations that goes around in circle for a whole chapter. Don’t waste your time reading this, it has the potential of being a strong female lead but she constantly defers to the one person who is not supernatural, it’s annoying as heck I only made it to the 4th chapter and gave up on the weak plot….so much potential so disappointing.

Though there’s plenty for her to learn, with Cerberus as a sidekick, allies, a new mission, an idea of what her powers are, how to use them, snark & innuendo plus a target, a couple of goals and a budding reputation, Zoey’s open for business, Josephine is straight in her role and Kevin’s finding his footing with Zoey. Earth isn’t the punishment Zoey thought, she’s just not like other girls.
Zoey and company’s work is cut out for them as a cascading problem with repercussions for the underworld and earth casts suspicions too close for Zoey’s comfort while she insists they resolve Sierra’s situation at all costs. Vampires Katerina and Vincent have an effective anti-Zoey weapon and they are not afraid to use it! Also, while it didn’t detract from the story, a major piece wasn’t addressed after a shock during the climax.
Rating: 4stars

Cool concept
I like the storyline for this series. It's cool to think of a separate reaper for the supernatural and that their scythe would work differently. I also enjoy Zoey, her family and friends. There is a lot of humor in the books, with plenty of action and a couple surprises. I am looking forward to the next books in the series to see where the story goes.

A fun tale where vamps are back to being the bad guys
With all the stories about vamps being more human or at least 'reformed it's nice to read a well written and entertaining tale where they are once again the monster under the bed AND that there is someone out there that they are afraid of.

A solid series so far. Like the last novel, there is a lot of internal reflection from the characters that can slow the plot down a little. I tend to skim read these segments so I keep moving quickly and can appreciate the story. It's a cool concept for a story and all the characters are well written. I love the portrayal of the grim reaper and Siennna is an awesome bestie.

⭐️⭐️⭐️
It took me a bit to get through this one. I loved book one but didn't really love book two. I hated the way Josephine was vilified over something she had no control over. She is a kick butt mom if you ask me. She gave up everything for a daughter she wouldn't get to raise without even hesitating. Anyway, rant over, let book three be the tie breaker.

An interesting book
The authors have written another intense book. Zoey and company take on the vampires and werewolves and wins. She also works through her feelings about her mother. The book has a lot of action scenes and the characters are well thought out and realistic. This was an enjoyable book and I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Hopping!
This book just keeps on moving--not a chance to get bored or wonder what's next. I'm not sure how I feel about the cop/hunter yet...and the end is kind of like...huh? Can't wait to find out where this all leads!

Note: This review is for the first three books in the series so there might be a spoiler or two if you haven’t read any of them or only the first one.
After reading the first book in the series I was really undecided. Especially since the first book really was setting things up for the main story arc. There was a pretty cool twist at the end though.
So I decided to read the second book as well and found it… lacking. It was not as good as the first and the first was already average at best. But again, it was continuing to set things up and it appeared that the ending was actually the real start for Zoey’s adventures.
So call me gullible but I decided to gamble and read the third book as well. The third book was better than the second but still… I was hoping for more. I did not feel that I wasted my time though. There was indeed some enjoyable moments but unfortunately also a lot of rubbish parts.
Overall I give the series three stars but only two of the three books I’ve read was worth three stars and that was barely.
So, as I wrote, the first book is a lot of setting up. The books feels a bit slow and a lot of it is spent on Zoey not being able to reap. Since she is supposed to be a Grim Reaper that is a bit of an issue. The books is also dragged down by a bunch of woke bullshit that the author felt he had to throw in to appease the small but loudmouthed woke/cancel mob.
I mean, seriously? A homosexual hellhound with three heads. Is there no end to this crap? And don’t get me started about the silly “head” jokes. At least the hound himself, who talks by the way, is quite cool once you filtered out the rubbish.
The first book is saved by the ending which has a quite cool twist. One that sets the path for Zoey’s future adventures.
The second unfortunately felt mostly boring with a bunch of scheming, plotting and backstabbing. It kind of continued the story from the first book but it wasn’t until the very end that Zoey was finally released on the path that I assume she will follow in the coming books.
The third book is better than the second. Zoey has assumed her role as “reaper for hire”. Overall the story is not that bad and I do like Zoey and her Hellhound. But the story is just that, not bad but not great either. There are quite a few enjoyable moments but also quite a few silly or stupid moments.
For example the just standing there staring while the bad guy is nocked over and wait until he recovers stupid moment. Then we have this idea of Charon the ferryman on the river Styx apparently investing in crypto and buying Gummi bears. What the fuck? Did the author really think that was funny?
So, the bottom line is that this series is just barely good enough for me to give it three stars and that is with some hesitation. Will I continue this series? Well, that is a big maybe and I am certainly not in a rush to do so.

Another great story
I loved the continuation of Zoey's story and the ensuing fight against various vampires. There is suspense and mystery throughout to keep you wondering and guessing who did what. Very well written, I'm looking forward to book 3
