A review by booksnbeauty
The Reaper Incarnate by C.A. Rene, R.E. Bond

1.0

This book was just not for me at all. Based on the plot, I was sure I’d like it and would continue on with the series but I could barely get through this book. The book follows Selene, a bad ass female main character who literally hunts down predators (think sex traffickers and Rapists) and kills then for revenge.

The plot was interesting and I think the book would have been much better if it focused more on the plot with maybe a little smut sprinkled in. This was like 99% smut scenes. And not just any smut—really graphic, violent, intense kinds with knife play, blood play, extreme force and demeaning and much more. It was too much for such a short book that we didn’t get much plot.

I understand that it is a reverse harem but did the guy characters have to act so obsessed with Selene? Literally every page is talking about having sex with her or they are having sex with her or most likely both. The book is written like Selene is the most beautiful woman ever and her “special set of skills” is addictive and like heaven to ever man which is unbelievable and just annoying. There’s even a scene where Selene’s identity is discovered by someone whose father she murdered and what does this guy do for revenge? He attempts to SA her!

Another thing I hated was that Selene would often engage in sexual activities with her targets. These guys are suppose to be the worst scum on earth (trigger for child and women sex trafficking) and you’re still going to sleep with them.
