Reaping Me Softly by Kate Evangelista
4.0
I have read a few reaper books this past year, and I have to say that I really enjoyed Kate Evangelista's take on them. She divided them up geographically (which makes a lot of sense), she gave them each their own little universe, and I loved the reaper meetings. Reaping Me Softly is imaginative and romantic. And boy, oh boy does it end with a bang.
I love so many things about Niko. I love how formal he is, it is absolutely adorable. I also love how new to love he is. He is just a really cool combination of fierce, loyal, and shy in his own way. I really enjoyed learning more about him, and I also really liked that we got to see how the other reapers saw him. I thought that was a great addition to the story. I love the idea behind Niko's house. I thought it was awesome and I loved the detail and description.
I liked Ari too. She has a very unique set of problems and issues, and I think she handles them marvelously. I know they talk about how she wasn't always good about handling her pain and sorrows, but I didn't see any shadow of that mentioned girl. All I saw was strength. I admired that about her. She put so much faith and trust in herself and in Niko.
Reaping Me Softly has made me bump reapers up on my paranormal scale. I am really intrigued by them. Plus Kate Evangelista is an excellent writer and I love the detail she uses in describing the surroundings. I always had a clear picture of the scenes in my head while I was reading. The only thing I didn't love about Reaping Me Softly was the ending. I certainly didn't see it coming, that's for sure! It just seemed a little out of place to me, but then again maybe I am just sad because I didn't want it to happen. But I am super excited for the second book in the Reaping me Softly series.
