Death Becomes Me
(Call Me Grim #2)
by Elizabeth Holloway
Publication
Date: November 2015
Genre: YA, Paranormal
Libbi
and Aaron are Grim Reapers on the run. They may have escaped their hometown of
Carroll Falls unscathed, and are together and alive (well, more or less), but
they’ll soon find there’s a price to pay. A deadly one.
By
escaping Carroll Falls, Libbi and Aaron have broken the Reaper’s covenant with
Abaddon, aka Death himself – and now they’re right at the top of Abaddon’s Most
Wanted list. There’s nowhere to hide, and not a single person, alive or dead,
they can turn to for help.
But
just as it's looking like the end of the line, Libbi hears word of a Reaper in
hiding – a Reaper who once escaped Abaddon's wrath. Finding this mysterious
Reaper might be the perfect solution… if Death doesn’t find them first.

The World of Carroll
Falls
Carroll
Falls is a town in backwoods Pennsylvania featured in both Call Me Grim and
Death Becomes Me. And though it’s completely made up, I still modeled it after
the many small towns I’ve visited and driven through as a resident of PA.
What
I love about Carroll Falls is how normal it is. It’s one of those towns where
everyone knows everyone else. When something tragic happens, the town doesn’t
quickly forget, as much as Aaron wishes they would.
Carroll
Falls, and Libbi for that matter, are normal on purpose. I wanted a normal girl
from a normal town to be thrown into the dark life of a Reaper. I wanted her
life to be flipped completely.
In
the Call Me Grim series, there is not just one Grim Reaper. There are
thousands. They are lorded over by Abaddon, aka Death himself, and are locked
inside of the territory they are responsible for reaping. It’s a lonely
existence. Reapers are invisible and inaudible to the living and can’t leave
their territories. Plus they have the crappiest job ever. They have to watch
people die. Every day. And they have to escort those people, sometimes people
they love, to the Gateway, which may or may not be Hell. Basically, the job
sucks. Well, except for the flying part. Libbi thinks flying’s pretty awesome.
The truck should have
turned Libbi Piper into a Libbi Pancake—and it would have, too, if Aaron hadn't
shown up and saved her life. The problem? Aaron's the local Grim Reaper . . .
and he only saved Libbi's life because he needs someone to take over his job.
Now, Libbi has two days to choose between dying like she was supposed to, or
living a lonely life as Death Incarnate. Talk about a rock and a hard place.
And the choice goes from hard to sucktastic when her best friend shows up
marked: condemned as a future murderer. Libbi could have an extra week to stop
the murder and fix the mark . . . but only if she accepts Aaron's job as
Reaper, trapping herself in her crappy town forever, invisible and inaudible to
everyone except the newly dead. But, if she refuses? Her best friend is headed straight
for Hell.
In
addition to writing, she is a registered nurse, an avid reader, an out-of-practice
artist, a karaoke singer, and music lover. She is still trying to decide what
she wants to be when she grows up.
