The Reaper
by Jackson P. Brown
adventurous

In a world where empathy can be mistaken as weakness, it's refreshing to read about it as powerful.
The Reaper is unique Urban Fantasy set in a supernatural split of London between upstairs and downstairs. Amy is a librarian and human Empath, and Gerald is a reserved gentleman and thee Grim Reaper. His weapon? His hands. 😏
When Amy first encounters Gerald, he's not like any creature she's studied before, but soon this unlikely pair balance each other as they team up to solve crimes (and, ahem, carry out assassinations).
IF THIS SOUNDS INTRIGUING TO YOU, PLEASE GIVE IT A GO. (We need the sequel.)
This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year, and it did not disappoint! The vibes were vibinggg. There's so much to love in this story: BIPOC cast, London (my fave) setting, new Grim Reaper lore, supernatural friends, found family, political/social commentary, maaaybe friends to lovers slow burn??? 👀
Samantha Shannon reading and reviewing The Reaper put it on my radar, and I yapped about it to anyone who will listen before it even came out. I've never ordered a book internationally before, but I preordered The Reaper because I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. (I'm in the U.S.) I'm manifesting an American publisher picks it up so this book becomes more easily accessible here.✨
Amethyst and Gethsemane = Gethsemethyst? Amethysemane? We'll workship it. 😉
