review 1: *Book source ~ Free on AmazonMatt’s best friend Ashley died of cancer when she was 10. That doesn’t stop her from coming around to visit with him though.I picked this up after reading Hold Me Closer, Necromancer. I went looking to see if there were more stories in the series and couldn’t believe my luck when I saw this short for free on Amazon. Score!Ashley is a Harbinger. Matt calls her Death though that’s not what she is. She doesn’t kill people, she’s just a guide for those who are newly dead. Sort of like an usher showing you to your seat in a stadium. She can make herself look however she wants, but she prefers the form of her 10-yr-old self. She says it makes her less threatening to the newly dead who are confused though that can backfire when they have a... more hard time believing a little girl. She’s smart, funny, loving and occasionally snarky. I loved her. She’s a great character! I’m glad she got her own short story in this one and I look forward to seeing more of her in the series.
review 2: I would recommend this only after you read the first novel (Hold me Closer, Necromancer) as there isn't a lot else it has to offer otherwise. This short story tells of Ashley, harbringer of death waffle-loving formerly-alive 10 year old, and her best friend Matt. Since Ashley died seven years ago, she's been collecting souls and occasionally dropping by to see Matt (and eat waffles of course).It was a very brief but nice story to fill in a little bit of background on Ashley, however it was a little incomplete feeling. It felt like a mere glimpse into a book. Understandably so, as it was a little side piece as McBride wrote the first book. All in all, this is a great piece to read between the novels in the series but don't expect a fantastic stand-alone series. It's just a little drabble in a much bigger story. less
