A cute and entertaining story featuring LGBT characters and a fun plot. I didn't know anything about the author going in, but I'll definitely be getting more of her work. This was a cute, funny, and worthwhile story.

A cute graphic novel in which a human is working as the only non-eternal Grim Reaper. Likes: Kim & Becka. All the cats. Ghouls!

Also as someone who does a lot of outreach with the middle school set, I'm super excited that this is rather clean. I can booktalk this to my fifth and sixth graders!

*mini review goes live 3/5!*

Becka has a super huge crush on goth cutie Kim. Though they're only in an art history class together, Becka is determined to ask her out on a date and follows Kim after class one day...only to fall through a portal. It turns out that Kim is doing a part-time gig as a Grim Reaper. Becka's appearance in the Underworld soon sets off a chain of events (including being chased by zombies). Is Kim really worth it? Totally.

<i>Kim Reaper</i> is SO SO SO great. Cute and funny and captivating, seriously, I was hooked the entire time and absolutely inhaled this one. I mean, a suspended Grim Reaper who takes a job at a bakery? How could I pass that up? This was adorable and I'm looking forward to the next volume!

The teens in my library have a tendency to ask me, "Is it gay?" when I suggest a comic to them. If the answer is yes, they are exceedingly pleased and so even just for that I would be purchasing this title. Thankfully it's also a delightful little tale of a human who becomes a grim reaper and the girl who has a giant crush on her. I appreciate that neither of the girls are perfect and that they are both concerned with being in a healthy relationship, not just being with someone they think is attractive. I can safely suggest this to our teens and know they will love it!

Umm… HELLLOOOO CUTENESS! I received this ARC on a total whim! This was the equivalent of a “cover-buy,” and I could not be happier! The art is colourful and goth and adorable and the love story was perfect! This graphic novel is about two seemingly opposite college girls (Becka is a baker and Kim is a “part-time” grim-reaper!), falling in love and then fighting the supernatural! They travel to the underworld, and while you may expect a certain level of macabre with that setting, the art remains soft-lined and bubbly. I really enjoyed the LGBT rep. and was happy to see that the purple/black – creepy/cute aesthetic that initially drew me in was carried through the entirety of the comics.

I really struggled to like this personally, but can appreciate I may not be in the target demographic.
Art style is 'cute' but uneven, and the narrative rambles incoherently with little plot or character development.
Very reminiscent of emerging/first-time indie comics purchased at cons rather than a published novel from an established company.

I'm obsessed with this. I love Kim and Becka. This is hilarious and adorable at the same time. I don't know how the artist managed to make a book about grim reapers, ghouls, zombies, and dead cats so cute, but she did. This was a delight to read. Becka's crush on Kim was so fun, and I loved their relationship.

"It's full of skeletons and junk, and I have a skeleton inside of me. Which makes me goth Tyler"

The book gods have answered and have granted us the cutest graphic novel of the lands!!

We are first introduced to Becka who has a MAJOR SERIOUS crush on this goth chick named Kim in her class. She follows Kim down a hallway trying to get her attention when all of a sudden, Kim walks into a portal that looks similarly to a vortex of death. Low and behold, Kim is actually a part time reaper. Whodathunk?

This was intensely hilarious and intriguing and fabulous! I really loved the art! It told an awesome story and it was lively and the expressions were perfect. I giggled quite a few times, it's just really hilarious. Who doesn't like a sassy LGBTQ+ couple??

So yes, THIS GRAPHIC NOVEL IS AN ABSOLUTE TREASURE AND I LOVE IT.

Drôle et taquin, cette BD est faite pour celles et ceux qui cherchent une histoire plutôt légère et drôle. Cela dit, elle est quand même plus profonde que ce qu'on pourrait penser de prime abord. J'ai eu un peu de mal à accrocher au début mais cette gêne est vite passée. La représentation LGBT est très respectueuse et très appréciable, d'autant plus qu'on ne se contente pas de mettre un perso gay pour dire "voilà représentation ok.
En bref, à lire !

Ridiculously cute and entertaining, this reminds me of the Lumberjanes mixed with Gravity Falls! I can't wait to see what Kim and Becka get up to next!

This was so cute!!

Mega Super Cute!!!

If you enjoyed Lumberjanes, Moonstruck, Coady and the Creepies, or Space Battle Lunchtime then I think you will enjoy this too. It definitely gets a bit ridiculous at times [like when a super muscley dude with 500 cats shows up] but it's a lot of fun and I'm definitely loving this new trend of cute/hilarious/paranormal/queer comics that have been coming out lately. Definitely recommend this!

Cute and utterly absurd! Becka, a girl-crazy art student, discovers that her crush is actually a part-time Grim Reaper... and winds up dragged into Kim's supernatural adventures. Reads like a mash-up of Giant Days and Lumberjanes, but without the ensemble cast.

*thank you to Netgalley and Oni Press for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review*

2 stars.

Meh, this simply just wasnt for me. It wasnt bad at all. The illustrations were good, the two main characters ended up being cute together. But the story itself, though funny a bit at times, I donno. Just wasnt for me but I can see why others enjoy it and I really liked that it was lesbian themed too.

I really enjoyed this. The concept is really great and very unique. The art style and the romance are very cute. I only felt like the writing was a bit simplistic at time and some moments just moved a little fast. I can't wait to see how this series is going to continue though.

I am sad to say that I did not enjoy it. The art is super cute and colorful, exactly like Steven Universe. However, I find that I did not enjoy and connect to the characters, especially Becka, and the story feels allover the place and tries too hard to be quirky. I think others will enjoy it, but not me.

Oh my heck, did I love this little book. I just finished it during the #24in48 readathon and I just need to dump my brain before exhaustion takes over my love of this book.

Kim is a part-time grim reaper, full-time cutie. Becka is adorable and enamored. When Becka gets up the courage to ask Kim out for drinks and accidentally follows her through a portal, hijinks ensue. Mix in an octopus, zombies, some of the greatest dialogue I've read recently, and the Board of Grim Reapers, and you've got a fun, adorable series. Graley's art is so amazing and the dialogue was sheer perfection. I already can't wait for the next installment. I will definitely be purchasing this the second I can.

If you need a quick, fun, light-hearted, diverse read, look no further.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me the opportunity to read and review.

A great first bind up of the Kim Reaper series. I loved the characters and loved the way that the LGBT+ story line was weaved throughout. The art style was great and the characters were drawn so cute. I loved Kim and thought she developed really well over the course of the story. It wasn't long enough for me as i wanted more about these characters right away!

Light, silly, and fun.

Becka crushes hardcore on her classmate Kim, and accidentally discovers that Kim is a part time grim reaper when she falls down a portal Kim opened. Becka is kind of a goofball, so hijinks ensue as they get into one weird situation after another.

Even though this is set in college/university it would appeal to younger teens.

I follow this author on instagram so I knew ahead of time that I'd like the artwork. I wasn't prepared for how much a I absolutely loved this story.

This little book is ten thousand percent adorable. The art and style reminds me a bit of the spooky-cute books in the late nineties like Lenore from Roman Dirge and the Nightmares & Fairytales. Granted, the story isn't super deep, and things move fast, but I really enjoyed the fast-paced shenanigans between two girls crushing on each other while dealing with ghouls and reapers and zombies.

Good clean lesbian fun, with little drama. I'll definitely be following this title as long as they're writing it.
