Organ Reapers by Shay West

I received this book in exchange of an honest review.
I was a bit disappointed of this book, honestly, but still have thoroughly enjoyed it. Not the best book ever written, but good enough to keep me reading.
This is a urban fantasy/thriller/mystery novel. It's more focused on the fantasy elements rather than the mystery. If you're looking for some whodunit mysteries, then you'll be left disappointed. If you're someone who enjoys fantasy, then you probably might like it.
The premise and concept of the story did fascinate me at first, however, the plot wasn't well executed enough in my opinion. It isn't to say that it's poor but I think it's just not being used to its full potential. Despite that, the two worlds (the real world and the magical land) was portrayed very well and I was able to picture them in my head as I was reading.
I certainly have enjoyed reading about the characters especially Eli who's a detective. He gets irritated easily by trivial things but also a kind person who fights for justice. Ava, the pretty detective, gets paired up with him. And, oh gosh, whenever I read about them, I wished that I could be the matchmaker and be like: why don't you two just get together already!
On the other hand, Tani and Keena from the other world are also fun characters to read. The chemistry between them was so cute! I had quite a fun time reading about them when they were trying to escape their world. This other world which the author created is very well done and I very much enjoyed learning about it while reading.
Besides the plot, one thing that I'd complain is that it kinda dragged in some parts where I got a bit annoyed and frustrated. Other than that, the pacing was great and easy to follow.
A solid 3 stars for me. Honestly, a little disappointed as I set my expectations too high as well as some things that were left unexplored. Even so, awesome and likeable characters that you can relate to and can't help but love. Recommend it to fantasy lovers.
