I am soooo kicking myself. I have devoured the Dark King Series. I knew of the Reapers. Yet silly me hadn't bothered to check out the Reaper Series. The Dark Kings now makes more sense. Don't get me wrong, you don't need to read the Reapers to understand the Dark Kings, but it sure was enlightening.
The Reapers weren't allowed to have relationships. They were not to expose themselves to the elves. They were only to have one time with a human. Things changed when Baylon, reaper, meets Jordyn, half-fae.
She is soon in danger for being a half-fae. Someone wants the all dead. Someone wants to call out the Reapers. Someone wants to call out Death, leader of the Reapers.
Dark Alpha's Claim has lots of suspense as they discover who is behind it all, but fail to contain him. On to the next book.

A Fast Paced Start To This Magical Spin-Off Series
I have not read the previous books in the Dark Kings series which this is related to but I don't feel that it's necessary as Ms Grant has included any information that is pertinent within these pages.
I downloaded the narration of this book as I enjoy listening to the story as I read along. Victoria McGloven is a new-to-me voice actor and while I liked the tonal variations that she used for the different characters' dialogue, I felt that some of the pace of her narration during the exciting fight scenes was a bit pedestrian.
I already have the next book in the series patiently waiting on my Kindle and look forward to finding out what happens next.

This was a wonderful start to a new series from Donna Grant. It was great to see the connection to the previous series with some characters popping up. Can wait to get the next one and continue the story!

The first in a new series this spin-off from the Dragon Kings series will get you hooked. Death has a special team to deal with keeping the balance between light and dark Fae. She calls them Reapers. They are hers and she doesn’t share. So when the Reaper Baylon falls for the ½ fae/human Jordyn he knows it is putting both of their existence in jeopardy. But her life is under threat and Baylon and his fellow Reapers are going to keep her safe until Death comes to call. This is a fun and fantastical book that takes you into a world where everything is not what it may seem and magic and mayhem goes on all around us. The Reapers are all committed alpha males that will leave you wanting more and I look forward to getting to know each of them better.

This has such great reviews, I really can't understand what went wrong for me. It felt as though I got dropped off in the middle of a series and was struggling to play catch up the entire time. The romance was cute and all, but between the lust and the intrigue, I wasn't sure the two plotlines necessarily connected with one another. Or that we had a really satisfying conclusion to the intrigue part of things, even for a first book.

An urban fantasy romance I could actually get into. Jordyn and Baylor's relationship developed SUPER quick but I liked them together. I also liked that Death was a woman! I thought that was interesting - definitely more interesting than a fucking hooded skeleton that's usually a man. I also liked that there was a balance between light and dark. The reapers had both light and dark fae. It seemed to me that it meant that good and evil/light and dark isn't always black&white.
