Notable tidbit:
What most of the human race didn't know was that where they heard a head-splitting scream, male "bean sidhes"--like me and Nash--heard an eerie, compelling song calling out to disembodied souls, keeping them from moving on.

Zombie sighting:
Still, I had to know... "So, would you say I'm closer to a zombie or a vampire? I gotta know--are my parts going to rot and fall off, or am I forever frozen in youthful perfection?"

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): corporeal
I have not read this series. BUT, now I want to.
I was taken with this introduction to the character, Tod. His personality is likable and charming.
Tod is a "bean sidhe" aka banshee that has turned grim reaper. This novella tells the story behind Tod's transformation and his start at this new occupation.
If you've read this series, let me know if what you think. Is it worth giving a try?
