Dark and Quirky

I'm right in the middle of this book about a young woman who roams the earth with Death as her companion, and it's turning out to be my favorite kind of book. Dark without being depressing and quirky without being precious, I'm finding it very interesting. The author, Judy Clemens, doesn't bombard the reader with information, but instead doles it out in bits and pieces as we get to know the main character. This method could easily backfire, but I'm finding it terribly engaging. I like the characters and am enjoying the time I spend with them.
