I’m not sure if this is mentioned in the tw list somewhere, but this does not have an HEA ‼️
Still, I was looking for a quick, gory, fast paced book, and this delivered.
I would have preferred it longer, but I feel like everyone says that about novellas.
Also, the ending was disappointing to me. Maybe in just so used to HEAs.
Kept me interested from the beginning though, and I loved the Scream references 👻
Will definitely be reading more from this author

I fell in love with the cover first, and then this book drew me in. I've never read from this author before, but I want to read more right away. Wow.
Ghost by A. Zavarelli
5.0
I chose to skip Reaper in this series because I needed to know about Talia after reading Crow. Immediately.
I could not put this book down.
I was crying within the first 10 minutes.
Talia’s pain and despair is so well depicted. I was angry and so sad and I wanted her enemy’s to die so badly.
This was a beautifully painful and sad book. It was a way different Vibe than Crow and I loved it. The main characters are broken and damaged and although I wanted her to be treated with so much more kindness throughout I understood why she didn’t want that.
Just wow.
But this book does spoil Reaper for you a bit, I have no regrets. Talia deserved happiness more than anyone. ❤️
