Always Carry Your Scythe

By: Pip Paisley

Narrated by: Laura Horowitz

Trixie D’Vita didn’t scythe. That was Mom’s gig. Then the Angel Investigative Bureau (AIB) turned up at Aunt Harry’s bar. Seemed the hottest afterlife gameshow in the Mystical Realms was misappropriating newly-departed souls. And Death was a person of interest. When the AIB can’t find Death, they come looking for Trixie, Death’s estranged daughter. Soon Trixie's best friend is in dire peril. An AIB trainee is traipsing towards trouble. And Trixie, armed with nothing but a pocket-scythe, is plunging headfirst into the gaping maw of a trans-dimensional vortex. So not the evening she’d planned. Skittle-colored demons. Werewolf drag queens. Hellhound-doodle puppies. Lots of scythe. All in this rollicking, whimsical, empowering adventure.

Heartwarming fun!

Great characters that have you cheering them on from the get go. A lively story grounded in the familiar yet with its own unique twists. LOVE the hellhound!! More please. Enjoyable performance supports the great range of characters and really captures the nuances from loss through triumph! Eagerly awaiting the next set of adventures from Trixie and friends!!

A sweet take on family relations

I love the voice of the narrator (the main character). Plus her dynamics with her mother and father. But mostly her devotion to her best friend and the lengths that she would go to in order save her.
