The main character is the daughter of the Death? Game show that promises you heaven but sends you to hell? Sounds like my kind of fantasy book!

Thanks for starting this review with the warning of what we will welcome us when we read the book. I've never been a fan of vampires and I don't think I'll start soon.

Definitely not my cup of tea, because I was never interested in the realms of the supernatural. I am way too practical person and all those creatures, in my opinion, belong in fairy tales and have little value to reality. Sorry, I prefer to skip, but congrats with BOTD anyway!

Your review paints a vivid picture of "Always Carry Your Scythe" as a thrilling journey into the realms of the supernatural. Pip Paisley's ability to craft a fast-paced narrative with immersive world-building sounds truly captivating. Trixie D'Vita's character development, especially her bravery and loyalty to her friend Zuzi, adds depth to the story, making it relatable and engaging. The underlying theme of friendship adds an emotional resonance that enriches the reading experience. Your recommendation of this book as a standout fantasy novel is compelling, and I'm eager to dive into this world of demons, werewolves, and vampires. Thank you for sharing your insights!

The mashup of multiple supernatural tropes in this story is really creative. The way all the characters had their individual challenges makes it relatable to the average reader. Fans of fantasy will truly admire this book.

This looks like a terrific book, the kind of story that once upon a time truly rang my bell. I don't typically read these types of novels anymore, but I suspect that this one will be a hoot in hell for those who do! Congrats to the author.

An intriguing world of vampires, werewolves, were-cats and were-bears among other magical brings, with Death’s daughter as the protagonist. Great atmosphere and world-building from the author, with a tempting hook for the plot.

Wow this is so much interesting from the review about the book by Isaac Oh he says
Demons, werewolves, pixies, and vampires are some of the things you could find from the book pages, from the beginning of the book, how readers can be transported to a New world where
Demons, werewolves, pixies, and vampires is having a supernatural control. Congratulations 👏 on your BOTD

'Official Review: Always Carry Your Scythe' by Pip Paisley sheds light on the eminent aspects of the science fiction tale. It sketches out the character of the protagonist of the story. The point that readers will be transported to a world where supernatural beings collide in an epic tale of darkness and intrigue is worth mentioning in the review. Friendship was an underlying theme in the book. Also, as mentioned in the review, the worldbuilding in this fantasy book is extraordinary. Learning that the writing was atmospheric and engaging was nice!
