The job of reaping is a lonely one. Why? There has only ever been one Reaper. Grim has spent centuries ensuring the souls of the dying are made available for reuse. But when he mistakenly reaps X, a woman whose soul was very much alive, his eternity is flipped on its head.
Fate has given Grim a very short time to train his new partner in the ways of Reaping. Should he fail, his eternal life is forfeit. Unfortunately, even the best laid plans go astray...especially when X unleashes a malicious soul that threatens to undo the fabric of reality.
And ruin a completely good eternity.
A Tale of Two Reapers (Audible Audio Edition) Jack Wallen Books
I discovered this book through a friend's Facebook post. I often pass by those, but the book's title and cover caught my attention. When I first read the title, it reminded me of Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities. A book I loved as a child. Throw in a Reaper, and now you've got my attention. I downloaded the sample to my Kindle PaperWhite, and within the first two pages, I was hooked! Jack's writing style is so refreshing that I just had to read the whole story.The main character, Grim, is as intoxicating as the souls he reaps. The stuff that comes out of his mouth is often laugh-out-loud funny. The story unfolds at a perfect pace, pulling you into our world seen through the eyes of THE Grim Reaper. I'm not usually a fan of the first-person perspective, but this story is so well-written, it didn't bother me a bit.
The story, without giving away too much, is about Grim and his partner Christine (Xtine) who he accidentally turns into a Reaper. How'd he do that? He reaped Xtine's soul before it was her time. And Grim's lessons for Xtine on how-to-be-a-reaper is very entertaining. There is another central character, Fate. I won't get into him because to do so would give away too much. But I will say I won't ever look at fate the same way again.
I found the ending to be very satisfying. What does that mean? That all depends on your view of what's satisfying. But don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourself.
Before I finish, I wanted to say I even loved the minor characters Ammy and Darthaniel. Great job Jack.
I would highly recommend this book because it isn't often you can laugh while reading something so dark. I'm looking forward to more adventures with Grim and Xtine.

A Tale of Two Reapers (Audible Audio Edition) Jack Wallen Books Reviews
One of the best books for 2017! A Tale of two reapers was a great ride. The characters come alive and you will fell like your quietly walking next to them and rooting them on. Eagerly waiting for book 2!!
Another fun read from Jack Wallen. There are few authors I have found that have as unique a tone to their narrative. Wallen uses characterization and humor like fine tuned instruments, using them as building blocks for great books. This was no exception. This was a great companion piece to his book, Suicide Station, a look at what might happen beyond the great void. There's good action and description in here and the story is paced fantastically. I enjoyed this one from start to finish.
A fun love story about the Grim reaper. What's not to love. Grim screws up and reaps X and now has to train her. It doesn't go to plan and a twisty turny hilarious but dark tale follows. Dark humour abound and so well written with lots of culture references and laugh out loud moments.
I loved the in jokes connecting the author's previous book Suicide Station to A tale of two reapers. You don't have to read Suicide Station but you should.
I liked the concept of this book and I am satisfied with how it ended. There are other books in the series, but I will stop here. I don't want the happy ending spoiled.
Jack is one of my favorite authors. I appreciate his writing style and the content of his novels.
This one really had me laughing and enjoying the quirky characters. Looking forward to more from this hodge podge crew again.
Jack Wallen is a great writer that writes a great variety of stories and characters. A Tale of Two Reapers is such a fun urban fantasy story. The characters are very well drawn. While they are not average humans they are very realistic and people I would love to spend time with. The novel has the perfect amount of humor in it. The pace is great as well. The story moves along at a quick pace and is never boring. The concepts about the end of life were very unique and really felt possible. The ending of the story left me very excited to read the next installments. Overall this is a fun read that I highly recommend.

Would you consider the audio edition of A Tale of Two Reapers to be better than the print version?
It is always nice to have the Author, Narrate a book he or she wrote. Mr. Wallen has a very commanding voice.It is a treat to hear the voices he envisioned for these characters.He speaks clearly and loud enough to hear everything.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Tale of Two Reapers?
The first time Grim sees Xtine's apt. All of the characters are well developed.
What about Jack Wallen’s performance did you like?
I love Jack Wallen's narrated books. I enjoy his voice & performance in the books he narrates.He has a vast range and does both male & female voices very well.I will pick a book that he narrated over one I have not heard of. I listen to many books and have never had a problem hearing every word that Mr.Wallen speaks. Others use music that is way too loud or voices that are so soft you can't hear or understand what the narrator said.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The Tale of Two Reapers. By Jack Wallen 2-10-2017I was an ARC reader for this book, It was so good I had to add it to my book collection as well.What a delightful book, something out of the norm.We meet Grim he is going through the motions of life, as he has for many years. He fights with his alarm clock like so many of us do, he gets up and dressed and makes his morning coffee till he remembers that he doesn’t like the dirty colored flavor water and then he starts his day.His best friend is Jonesy. Jonesy is pure of heart…a little slow and quite a character. He doesn’t know what it is that grim does for a living but he doesn’t mind. Grim is his best bud.Grim enjoys his time with Jonesy and is quite protective of him.They always have a good time and laughs when they are together no matter if they are playing a video game or meeting at a bar for dinner or a drink.Fate is a thorn in Grim’s side, as well as his boss. Even though Fate can end Grim with one word, Grim is still sarcastic and flippant with Fate. He feels he has earned that right for all his years of service. Having Fate unmaking you would be a fate worse than death.There had never been more than one Reaper ever…to Grim’s recollectionGrim has messed up in a big way and he is not sure what the outcome will be. Fate gives him a chance to make it right or he will be no more. Grim will do everything in his power to get X ready for what may lay ahead.Christine, X-tine as she was named by her friends in school and X to her friends. X is a wild card, she is Gothic Victorian in the way she dresses, smart and sarcastic and calls many unique individuals her friends. She will call upon a few to help her and Grim take care of a most vicious scythe, “Jon’s”. She will give Grim a run for his money and keep him on his toes.Speaking of X’s friends meet Amnesia, Ammy as her friends call her for.She is a recovering addict and X is watching out for her. She has the gift of seeing what others don’t. X and Grim had some work to do but didn’t want to leave Amnesia at X’s house alone so X cashed in on a favor owed to her by Darthaniel, Darth for short and he came toAdult sit the sleeping Ammy. X thought they would hit it off well. X was right.So this makes up their little Scooby team that set out to make things right. Grim, X, Ammy and Darth. And what a team they make.In the end Fate has the final word on both the living and dead, Fate always sees the whole picture if it is shared with us or not.Pick up this book to find out more about Grim and his Scooby team. I can hardly wait for the next installment. Jack Wallen can not be boxed up or put in any one pigeon hole. He is a prolific writer with an immense imagination who dabbles in many genres. Each one he molds into his own domain.If you haven’t read any of his work you have to take a look at what he has produced. There is something for everyone. From Steampunk, to Zombies with a lot in-between.
