i liked this series SO much
it was so funny

i liked santos most of all
he was so unhinged and crazy

also loved his relationship with darius, it was so gentle and sweet

the only downside i found that darius’ character wasn’t deep enough. we didn’t know his story and his only distinctive feature was that he was both with santos and selene

also they all spent very little time together in the first book so i didn’t understand why later they were all talking about each other like they know everything about them

but otherwise the series was perfect and with A LOT of gory details

“I am the fucking Devil. My demons are my friends.”

This is the final book in The Reaped series. It has been a wild ride it's been. If you haven't picked up the prequel, The Reaper Incarnate you need to RIGHT THIS SECOND! This continues from Hunting the Reaper . I DON'T want to spoil too much, because soooo much happens. However, I'm gonna say, it is the perfect wrap up to this series.

"She came in like a tornado and swept us off our feet. She softens Blaze. She matches mine and Santos’ crazy. She balances Zander. And she makes our house into a home, soothing our demons a little at a time."


Omfg!! I'm ugly crying right now!! After all of pain and turmoil Selene and her guys can finally have peace. And my crazy a$$ dude, Santos...ahhh I'm

4.5/5

Somehow this series just kept getting better. The final installment had more revenge, more action, more steam and even more laughs. Who knew a dark romance would make me laugh so much.

I absolutely adored the antics of these characters. From one liners to full scenes, I feel like I was constantly smiling.

Surprisingly, I can’t pick who my favorite character was. I loved each of them in their own way. Even new characters made an impact (oh Pepe).

There were highs, lows and absolute chaos. Some parts seemed longer than others but all of the stories were resolved in the end. I liked how there were little mentions from the previous books that made an impact in this one.

The epilogue was perfect. I loved that we had a POV from all of the characters and saw them get their version of a happily ever after.

A great series! I hope this duo writes another series together.

During this whole series, I feel like my heart was ripped out of my chest and put back in, especially in this book. I just love Santos and Darius' relationship, those two have my heart. The relationship between the five of them has changed over the books, especially each of their relationships with Selene. Although they are all complete psychos, they have a kinda wholesome relationship, in their own kinda way. All the twist turns and questions from other books were answered in this book. And although it was a small time jump the ending was perfect, and very much them. I think this series has slowly become one of my favourite all-time series. I haven’t read the Cat and Mouse Duet, but I feel that people who liked those books should quite enjoy these.

“Does Selene come off as a rational female to you? Are we with the same woman?”

This is the final book in the Reaped series and these 5 unhinged psychos are getting their HEA.

This book is full of equal parts seriously bloody violence and light playful banter, which is a super fun combination.

These characters are certifiably insane while also being super sweet with each other. Like I most definitely wouldn’t want to meet any of them in a dark alley, unless of course they thought I was worth keeping around for some reason. lol

The relationship between Santos and Darius is my very favorite coupling between two guys in a harem that I’ve ever read. They deserve the world and are to be protected at all costs.

And the spice is just as crazy and bloody as you can expect it to be based on previous books.

I struggled a little with the plot, it got a little convoluted, and some characters were thrown in that I think we could have done without. But in the end I still think it closed everything up really nicely and the ending was explosive and emotional.

If y’all are looking for a something with some seriously dark content but a super light tone, this may just be the series for you.

This is the final book in the reaped series. Selene and her guys Santos, Blaze, Zander and Darius finally get their HEA.

I won’t say too much for those of you who haven’t read the series yet. But if you like unhinged and deranged characters (think Harley Quinn and Joker style) then you’ll definitely like the Reaped series.


It’s filled with revenge, murder and a lot of kinks. The dark humor is one of my favorite things about the series. Specifically with Santos. You get a variety of characters who are all different but fit together well.


The POV seemed like a lot at certain points with this one and it was a little hard to keep up with at times.

Claiming the reaper is the third book in the Reaped series. This book is told from multiple points of view from Selene, Blaze, Santos, Zander, and Darius.

This book was everything and then some! I'm still reeling from the book hangover! This book starts off right from when book two ends with Selene missing. Her boys are trying to find her and save her, but Selene is a bad a** heroine. So does she really need the saving?

Selene and her boys are back at war with their enemies. Will they be able to rid the world of those who have wronged them? Will their relationships survive everything that is thrown at them?

I loved every minute of this book, as well as this series. The banter between Selene and the boys, or even between the boys. The sexy times between Selene and all of her men! I'm hoping we see snippets of these characters again. I really loved learning their backstories, and getting to know them!

These girls! They are always putting out words that draw me in and won’t let me go! Every book I’ve read by both authors has never failed to grab my attention. The final book of this series didn’t disappoint.

If you’re looking for a dark reverse harem romance that pulls you in and also gives you comedic relief, this is the series you NEED to read!

Each character has their own distinct personality and fits so perfectly for what they give us during this series. I didn’t find myself looking for anything “extra” or being given a side character that I wish would’ve been included in the harem.

The SPICE! Ughhhh! So flipping GOOD!! So. Good. Gimme some spicy bonus content, PLEASE.

All in all, this was the perfect way to end our favorite assassin story. Even though I’ll always want more and a little glimpse into their future, just to check in.

Sweet Death.

Never bring a knife to a gun fight, well unless you are the Reaper. There are lots of lose ends to tie up. We have a blossoming romance between Pepe and Cara. New brother Loqi and Papi Loca have to atone for their sins. More girls to rescue and few gun fights, threats and explosions. It’s an action packed ending.
