The Reaper Incarnate by C.A. Rene, R.E. Bond
4.0
“Why do guys think I’m worried about getting hurt, when I’m usually the biggest monster in the room?”
If you loved The Mindf*ck series and/or Den of Vipers, you need to check out this little prequel novella because it’s giving me all of those vibes. It sets up the next book up perfectly so yeah it does leave on a cliffhanger. It’s fast paced, although the writing for me felt choppy in some places but that didn’t bother me because I was so invested in the story. Also this was pretty smut heavy.
We are following Selene who does sex work in order to be unassuming to her victims. That’s right. She’s a serial killer, but she kills with a purpose and goal in mind: to rid the world of sex traffickers and rapists of women/children. All her victims are guilty of these crimes and she takes great pleasure in ending them. But what she doesn’t see coming is a group of four men who will come into her path and steal her heart.
Side note: there is some bisexual rep
CW/TW: this novella is full of violence. There’s gruesome scenes of murder in many forms, sexual assault, rape, drug use, sex trafficking, mention of past trauma from sexual assault/rape, and abuse from parental figure.
Overall rating 4 stars
Steaminess 4.5/5 stars *this is just rating the consensual things that happen between the MCs* (kissing, fingering, cunnilingus, fellatio, penetrative vaginal sex, penetrative anal sex, double penetration, group sex to include threesome and foursome, knife play, blood play, rope bondage, and if I’m forgetting anything so sorry but a lot happened lol) *also please take note that there are some scenes of sex right after a murder takes place so the characters are literally fucking right next to a dead body/bodies because the kill turns them on*
“Yes,” she breathes. “I fucked your daddy last night, he even ate me out like a champ. The real question is, can you erase him? Are you better than him?”
