After her father disappeared when she was a child, Aster has spent 10 years as a servant in the leader’s house of the city of New Bethal. Even as a child Aster knew that the city is a corrupt place full of assassins, called Reapers, but everything she has known changed when a new young leader takes charge. She is ordered to look after an assassin staying in the house. As Aster gets to learn more about the Reapers, and herself, she realises that she may not know the whole truth about her life.
I enjoyed Reave, it has a bit of action, fantasy, romance and assassins who actually kill people. This book is very descriptive but I did get confused at some points in the book. Also the cover is a bit deceiving as the book takes place almost entirely inside.
Aster is a sweet, naïve girl and during the book develops an inner strength and grew as a character. Chase was protective, caring and a good love interest for Aster but I did find the romance lacking. Ahren was smart and secretive and I was surprised by Camden as I was expecting him to play a different, more complex role.
The ending was a bit anti-climactic but I did not see the twist at the end coming and I am looking forward to reading the next book Elude. I would recommend Reave to fans of YA fantasy novels.

This was a very good book! I really loved the main character, Aster! C. Miller is a great author and she's a awesome at character development and world building. I could not put this book down once I picked it up and I read it fairly quick too! All the characters grow so much and I got to know them all which made it easy for me to connect to the story even though it's fantasy. I'll be honest, I had my doubts before I started this book because the blurb is kind of vague, but I'm glad I gave this book a chance! I think it made me like the book even more, so I'm not going to tell you what it's about. The blurb will have to do. Just so you have the same experience as me! I think that's about all I can tell you without giving away too much, so I'm just going to stop here. If you love Young Adult Fantasy, give this book a shot! It might just surprise you just as much as it did me!

This book was soooooo good. I could not put it down. There were so many plot twist that you did not see coming! The characters were really developed. I loved how Aster was very ignorant about love. I can't wait for the second book.
