Authors warning ‘This book contains dark and mature content, human trafficking, and violence with a paranormal REAPER twist.’
Eighteen years ago the Scorpions captured and tortured him, and killed his President and brother, Keys and Lockjaw. Dexter Langford made a deal with the devil and has been Grim, the Reaper ever since. For the past eighteen years he and his MC have been reapers, harvesting souls for the devil.
Trish Holloway was only ten when she first met Grim and neither of them ever forgot the other. She hasn’t had an easy life, trying to care for a dead beat dad and avoid her stalker of a step-brother.
When Grim walks into the bar Trish is working at they instantly reconnected and were in bed a week later. But the danger surrounding the MC jeopardizes everything they were starting to build.
I loved the start of this book and even though things were happening lightning fast it was still working for me, until things took a turn. Sacrificing details to accelerate a story has it’s place, until the lack of details and the unexplained time jumps become too much. I wanted Trish to trust and have faith in Grim but she was a runner, doing TSTL things making her annoying rather than the heroine I wanted. It also bugged me that after eighteen years the reapers still hadn’t secured vengeance for their murdered president.
As they say the devil’s in the details, unfortunately most were missing in this book. Great ideas, interesting characters but needed better execution.
I received a free copy of this book and I’m voluntarily leaving a review. If you like my reviews I hope you will follow my blog.
