When Zane shot Death, he learned, too late, that he would have to assume his place, speeding over the world riding his pale horse, and ending the lives of others. Sooner than he would have thought possible, Zane found himself being drawn to Satan's plot. Already the Prince of Evil was forging a trap in which Zane must act to destroy Luna, the woman he loved...unless he could discover the only way out.... The first novel of the INCARNATIONS OF IMMORTALITY series.

Review of 'On a pale horse' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Great book.

Premise: you kill the Incarnation of Death and guess what? You're the new Death!!

There is more to this story than that but what would you do if you became an Incarnation and, oh yeah, the Incarnation of Fate had a hand in it so that Satan wouldn't get the upper hand. What? You may ask well if Fate conspires to make you an Incarnation then there is definitely something going on.

With trips to Purgatory and Hell. Battling Hellhounds and Giant Praying Mantis (not a typo) there is a lot of fun with this story. It is written with tongue in cheek and is a fast read. This is one book that was just fun and funny.
