DESCRIPTION

She is the one temptation I was never meant to survive.

I was forged for one purpose—to hunt, to end, to serve Death.

I don’t falter. I don’t feel. And I don’t want.

Not until her.

Catriona is a half-Fae woman who believes magic passed her by… but the truth coils beneath her skin, waiting to ignite. Power like hers doesn’t stay hidden for long—and when it rises, every Dark Fae in existence will come for her blood.

But I was the first to see her.

The first to sense the storm inside her.

The first to want her with a hunger that threatens everything I am.

I know I should walk away. A Reaper has no room for desire, no right to crave a woman who could shatter the balance I was created to protect.

But one look from her, and every rule I’ve lived by fractures.

I’ll guard her.

I’ll claim her.

I’ll defy Death if I must.

And if the world wants to tear her from me…it will learn exactly what a Reaper is capable of when he finally has something to lose.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Donna Grant weaves a seductive, high-stakes tale of forbidden desire, deadly power, and a love strong enough to defy even Death in the Reaper series.

REVIEW

So many authors start to run out of new material after years of writing but Author Donna Grant is not that author. Her books continue to surround the reader with sharp details, intrigue, brokenness, redemption, evil, mystery, paranormal happenings and love. In this fourth book of A Reaper Novel series the Reaper Fintan takes center stage though the other Reapers make appearances as well as Death. Let me not forget to mention Constantine King of the Dragon Kings along with Roman and Cain from the Dragon Kings series also makes a cameo appearance in this book. I can’t wait to see where that meeting leads in future books.

Non-emotional Fintan trusts no one except Death and the other Reapers. He has never known anyone to just want to touch and love him because everyone feared him. It brought tears to my eyes the words written about this character. It is so hard to even imagine never being loved. The author did an outstanding job of portraying his strength while slowly exposing his weaknesses which caused this reader to fall deeply in love with his character.

Would we be able to be as strong as Catriona? Losing loved ones, finances, and just waiting to die; forces some people to become more resilient or others to just give up and die. Catriona’s personality was exciting, empowering, brave, and very well written. Her brain is amazing and she solves a puzzle that no one else guessed. It was quite brilliant in concept.

This story is fast paced and full of exciting moments with some spiciness thrown in. For this reason I give it 5 STARS.
