Hunting the Reaper by C.A. Rene, R.E. Bond

5.0

Vengeful, dark, steamy, and, surprisingly, hilarious, such a perfect combination. This author duo creates magic and I hope they collaborate again.

The connections between the characters are rough and gritty but they connect on a deeper level. All of them have had a lot of struggles and hardships that have molded them into who they are now, and their monsters relate to the other characters’ monsters. They all need one another, in different ways, and they show that you can choose your own family. I love watching all of the relationships between the men evolve with each other and change as the female main character, Selene, has joined.

The beginning seemed (key word) fairly predictable. Selene had left the boys to follow leads and try to find her missing sister. She fell into her Reaper Incarnate ways and we watched her make connections between people, search and, of course, do what she does best. There were so many twists at the end, it made, what we thought was predictable, into complete mayhem. Mysteries were solved that we didn’t even realize we needed solved. Mind blown. I need to know more. We need the pasts of these characters and their stories.

Then just when you thought the book was going to let you go, that ending dragged you right back in. The conclusion of this series is going to be explosive and complete chaos.
