Ahhhh, Holy shit what did I just read, this was amazing. I don’t even know what to write about it, it’s just that fucking good. I went into this book blind and the first sentence had me giggling, a little shocked and hooked. I certainly knew what I was getting myself into when the 14th word was dick, and she killed a guy in the first two pages. Selene is psychotic murder in all the best ways. Choosing to kill men who maim, rape and murder women, (basically the scum of the earth), under her vigilante name “Reaper”, and parading herself around as a prostitute. It was so nice to finally see a strong heroine who gave no shits, and got the job done, I’m so used to seeing such vulnerable, submissive women in this kind of book genre, but this was so refreshing seeing such a powerful secure women for once. Tho I’m not sure how I feel about her fucking her victims and giving them pleasure, before she kills them. I think she should just flat out destroy them, they honestly deserve it at this point. But oh well, a girls gotta do what she’s gotta do, and if she’s gotta lure them in with sex, what can I say. Oh my god the steaminess in this book was a whole other level, I mentioned earlier that she was psychotic and this really showed here… I mean who doesn’t love some knife play. Oh and using the blood as lube, ah wow! I’m not sure who I wanted more scenes with in this story, all four boys brought their own kinda spice to the book. Blaze, Zander, Santos and Darius were absolutely obsessed with Selene, and honestly I don’t blame them one bit. This book contained many spice scenes including group ones and even some m/m. Honestly this is the dark, brutal romance that I wanted, and I am so glad it delivered.

“What the fuck are you talking about? You’re not going anywhere, you’re fucking mine, Selene. If you leave, I’ll fucking drag you back by your hair!”

This is so dark and so good. This story follows our MFC and vigilante Selene on her hunt for vengeance/revenge. She helps seek payback for those who weren’t able to help themselves. During one of her hunts she comes across 4 friends who weasel their way into her life. Will she be able to work with them? Or will they end up like the rest with her scythe on their foreheads. So excited for the next book

The Reaper Incarnate by C.A. Renee and R.E. Bond is the first story in the Reaped Series. Wow-what a book it was! I was hooked and loved every minute of it. It was so dark and I loved it! This book reminded me a lot of Den of Vipers by K.A. Knight and it was one of my favorites, so this one is defiantly up at the top of my list!

This book is told from dual points of view by Selene and Zander, with a bonus by another member. Selene is a vigilante and goes after bad guys. While on the job she ends up meeting Zander, Santos, Darius, and Blaze on the job. All of the 5 main members have had some darker pasts. Selene now is very dark as we can tell since she calls herself the Reaper Incarnate, and goes after those who torture and abuse others. Santos and Darius also are very dark and they realize Selene fits right up their ally.

Selene likes all 4 guys, so things happen.

That's all I'm going to say for now, because you need to go in blind! Let me just say that this book was dark and amazing. I don't have any trigger warnings, but there were a few moments in the book that might get to others.

Sex, blood and death

Been a bad boy? Then expect a visit from The Reaper. Raised to use her body for sin Selena is on a vendetta to kill off some sick and evil souls and wants to find her sister. Along the way she crosses the path of 4 dark souls trying to seek their own vengeance. This is dark and sexy and uggh can’t get enough. But when Selena goes off on her own she had no way of knowing the lengths her boys are going to go to to get her back.

Spicy, but it was hard for me to connect with the FMC. Felt as if she was trying too hard.

The Reaper Incarnate by C.A. Rene and R.E. Bond is a dark reverse harem romance. This is the first book in the Reaped series. The story was originally published in the Violent Tendencies Anthology, and than was extended with a different ending for the start of the series.

I absolutely love C.A. and R.E. books! I was so excited when I seen that these two authors were teaming up! They are both my go to for a dark and depraved reads and they did not disappoint! 

I was hooked from the very beginning and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. I loved the chemistry between Selene, Zander. Blaze, Santos, and Darius. I really enjoyed getting all of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life. The story was dark, twisted, and so steamy!

I can't wait for the next book in the series Hunting The Reaper to be released on August 17, 2021 so I can get more of their story. 

I would highly recommend this book if you love dark romances or reverse harems!
