    This is an amazing book! The writing is excellent, and the author updates incredibly fast. The protagonist, Xiao Qi, is the darling of the group, and you can freely ship any pairing you like. The beginning is hilarious (especially Tang Wang's), but some chapters later are extremely heart-wrenching; I cried throughout the entire book… (I was a total tearjerker!). Xiao Qi is not only beautiful and powerful, but she's also the silver-haired, red-tailed, red-eyed successor to the Grim Reaper—she's even on the novel's cover! Everyone should check it out; the plot is exciting and gets even better later on!!! I'll give the author a rating and add it to my bookshelf (a new author's book). Highly recommended!

    These are some of my favorite ghost-hunting novels. The male and female leads are both incredibly powerful in magic and fighting. They're the kind of characters that bring bad luck to anyone who messes with them. They're scary yet funny, and super good!
