by Juliann Whicker
Ruby is a convicted vampire murderess rotting in a high-security magical prison, but she is about to trade her cell for a dangerous mission. When an angel offers her a full pardon in exchange for hunting down a demon she already killed once, she has no choice but to accept. The catch? She must partner with a brooding, irresistible reaper of death who threatens to unravel her icy exterior.
This installment of the beloved Singsong City series masterfully blends urban fantasy with a side of sharp-witted romantic comedy. As Ruby and her angelic counterpart navigate a world of elves, fairies, and a cat burglar ferret, they find themselves caught in a high-stakes supernatural game. What begins as a desperate hunt quickly evolves into a deeply emotional journey of redemption, proving that even a monster can find a place to belong.
Featuring a delicious slow-burn romance and a heartwarming found-family dynamic, this story is perfect for readers craving a paranormal escape that balances intense battles with genuine emotional stakes. With plenty of puns, unexpected twists, and even some sushi, this standalone read offers the perfect blend of danger and devotion. Will Ruby find salvation in the arms of the reaper, or will her past finally catch up to her?

Reapers Don't Ride was such a fantastic book! We only get to see Ruby's POV the whole book, but her and Gavriel's chemistry is off the charts! It was such an interesting premise, and I was easily sucked from page one. Did I stay up too late reading this book? Ehh, probably. But do I regret it? Not at all. If you want a great, fast-paced story with heated looks, dynamite chemistry, and scorching kisses, then look no further, my friend. This book contains no swearing, no sex, and although it's on...
