Dude. Pagan didn't cheat Death, she cheated Leif. 
 This book started out pretty good. I liked how Leif and Pagan first interacted, I liked how closed-off Pagan seemed to be, but then all of a sudden it was instalove (view spoiler)[with her and Dank. (hide spoiler)] And it just went downhill from there. 
 The book ventured into eyeroll territory suddenly and consistently after that. (view spoiler)[I mean, was Death being a rockstar really necessary? Don't get me wrong, I love me some rockstars, but it just seemed completely unnecessary to the plot. (hide spoiler)] 
 Also, Pagan went from being slightly closed-off and confident to this weak, whiney, needy, insanely annoying character who was swooning over a guy she talked to twice while treating a great guy like absolute crap. 
 So, yeah, two stars. And despite the major cliffhanger ending, I don't plan on reading the next books.
