Nice review! This seems like a book that would be right on time for Halloween (right down to the cover). However, a story of true friendship is obviously wonderful at any time of the year!

Prepare to be transported to a world where supernatural beings collide in an epic tale of darkness and intrigue. In Always Carry Your Scythe, Pip Paisley weaves a mesmerizing narrative that explores the realms of the supernatural and delves into the depths of hell itself.
- Aĺways carrying your scythe among demons, werewolves, and especially vampires, is good advice. I can't wait to see what else is in store for the reader. Great review. Thank you.

Fantasy novels are not my usual go-to reads, but your gushing review makes me want to check out this book. It sounds like the author does not take shortcuts or skimp when building a world of supernatural creatures. The pace of the book is also an element that increases my interest in reading. You wrote, "The depiction of hell was equally captivating; it was not your regular fiery hell." Well, if that is not an enticing invitation to read the book, I don't know what is. You have me hooked; the book is on my list. Thank you for your heartfelt review. It was enjoyable to read.
