The Fifth Horseman by Jon Smith

Emma feels her life isn't worth continuing and that she's achieved all she'll ever achieve.  She decides to off herself by falling from the top of a high building.  She's left a goodbye message for her roommate and friend, Mark.  While trying to save her from this decision, he accidentally knocks them both off to their seeming death.  Just before they are about to hit the ground, Death rides in and scoops them up.  However, there is a hitch!  Both of their hourglasses still technically contain some sand, which means they are now stuck between life and death.

I really enjoyed this book. It hit at a time when I needed to read something humorous, even if it is death.  I loved the author's sense of humour that flowed through their writing.  The characters are funny, and there is good banter between them which makes this an easy weekend read.  Sometimes you just need to read something that makes you giggle.

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for the e-book for review.
