Now that Scarlet and Chase have revealed their secrets to each other, they resolve only to kill the worst sinners they find.

The Chief going Mom Mode when it came to Scarlet was funny and it’s interesting to see more parties involved in all this. I can respect this series for keeping Satan an asshole. So many stories could and do easily give the villain a tragic backstory or try to reform them but not here! He’s a dick. Because he can and he enjoys it. In this case, I think it will push Scarlet into more creative solutions to solve the impossible choice she was given by the end of this volume. 3 out of 5.

As a result of interrupting an attempted robbery, Scarlet is revealed to be a reaper in order to save Chase’s life. They cut a deal, but Satan – as he says – always gets what he wants.

This volume dives heavily into the morals of what makes a sinner worthy of reaping, which kinda shows why Chase is marked. Even with his backstory, he’s a bit too keen on knocking people off. No wonder his ass got fired. This brought to mind The Good Place and what standards send souls where they need to go. Yeah, Scarlet has to kill at least one sinner to save herself from being sent to hell, but Chase’s “we’re gonna cleanse the world of evil” spiel is dangerous. They still make a great team and the battles are well done. 4 out of 5.

In her attempt to save Detective Chase, Scarlet encounters another reaper working with the Spades; Rabbit Mask. Rabbit is so strong, Scarlet has no chance and resolves to get stronger to protect Chase and find out what the Spades are up to.

So, there’s three active reapers and Scarlet is the weakest one; which she finds out in a rude wakeup call that’s drawn amazingly well. The best part of this for me was Scarlet and Chase bonding a bit. They have a funny dynamic that’s a bit of light in this dark story about crime, corruption, and death. We’ll have to see how Rabbit Mask fits in to everything and why he’s working with Red Spades. I would like to know more about the Spades because all I feel I know about them is they’re spooky and do crime. Granted, this is only volume two and we’re still getting to know Scarlet and Chase but still, it’s hard for me to care much about them when our two main characters are so much more interesting. 4 out of 5.

“Scarlet” is dead and the devil is delighted to have such a wretched soul finally in his grasp. He offers her a deal: become a reaper and supply one soul to hell a day or suffer in the void for all eternity. Given the choice, Scarlet becomes a reaper and despite not retaining all the memories of her former life, it still comes back to cause trouble.

I like this premise; reapers being recruited, some shady organization, corruption in the local police force, goofy cop with an adorable cat; I’m diggin it. The creature design is great and the art style handles Scarlet’s transformations as well as cutesy stuff well. There’s a nice touch of horror and some humor to balance the volume out. 4 out of 5.
