About this book
Trapped in a cycle of eternal servitude and agonizing isolation, a nameless woman exists only to reap souls. She has no past and no identity, until a routine assignment forces her into the path of an elite supernatural warrior team. Suddenly, the invisible becomes tangible. For the first time in centuries, she is seen, felt, and heard, thrust into a physical body that pulses with newfound, dangerous emotions.
This gripping paranormal romance pulls you into a high-stakes world of forced proximity as the heroine navigates the intense desires of four captivating men. There is Krystian, the secretive elf; Zaid, the gentle wraith; Rafael, the possessive blood fae; and Everett, the lethal, ornery leader. As they pull her into their orbit, she must unravel the mystery of her own origin. If she isn’t the reaper she was told she was, then who is she—and why was she locked away?
If you are craving a fast-paced shifter and supernatural read, this story delivers a volatile mix of Greek mythology and dark, obsessive romance. It is a wild, unpredictable journey where the gods are playing deadly games, and the line between salvation and the grave is razor-thin.

The author boasts that this book was written in 6 days and yeah, I can tell. Told from all POV, it feels like it’s missing something. The spice is pretty generic and the same for multiple scenes, though Rafe adds a little something to it. It was an okay book, I finished it, yet it was kinda blah? Definitely doesn’t stand out for me. ) !Image 85: Not as good as I expected !Image 86!Image 87: Not as good as I expected !Image 88  The author boasts that this book was written in 6 days and yeah, I can tell.

This was good enough to keep my interest and to finish it in like 3 days. I actually really love some of the other books written by Katie. Ahem (Monsters) this is close enough with the humor and plot twists. I enjoyed this book, however it’s not one I plan to reread or brag about. The plot was nice with some Greek and also some things that I haven’t read 100 times so it was refreshing. )
