Note: This story is loosely based on a book previously published by the author as A Soul’s Worth. I’m as good as the next girl when it comes to the easy stuff. Killing demons, reading people’s auras, hiding my daddy issues–easy peasy. I’m even good at the hard stuff, like working at a cake shop while staying fit and escaping my mom’s wrath on a daily basis. But the one thing I always excelled … mom’s wrath on a daily basis.
But the one thing I always excelled at was not breaking rules.
Until I do.
My dad taught me everything I know before he died. I know his many rules by heart.
Never let a demon escape after he’s seen your face.
Never get caught unprepared.
And never, ever, ever fraternize with the enemy.
Well, Dad, you better take a seat wherever you are, because I’m about to break rules like they’re going out of style.more
Willow always knew she was different. She could sense if people were good of bad. The moment she told her dad that tidbit everything changed. From that moment on her training began. If only he were still alive to answer her ever growing questions. Alone in the world, the only other like herself gone…willow takes out the demons and evil of the world. That is until one of them calls her by the name her dad used…Trapper. Now she’s on a quest to find out what and who that is. Could there bee others like her? This tale revolves around one feisty, strong, and dare I say quirky young lady fighting to stay alive in a world surrounded by evil.
ONE BLAZING ADVENTURE!!!
OMG! Hoxa brings it with this over the top true to form block buster. One gripping storyline and thrilling plot bring this bad boy blazing to life beautifully. Hoxa totally nailed this bad boy 100% on point. A bounty of surprising events and a bevy mishaps that keep you flipping page after page. One rollercoaster with all the trials and tribulations that propels the intense emotions bursting into play smoothly. The characters are authentic, consistent and realistic with depth and qualities its easy to relate. Sparks fly as suspense and danger ensues in epic proportions. Non-stop, action packed, heart pounding, hard hitting wonder that meld all the pieces together brilliantly. The scenes are so graphically detailed it gives the illusion you were right there in the middle of ground zero with them. Remarkable job Hoxa, thanks for sharing this little gem with us.
First let me state that I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review.
Holy shiznet!!! This story is gr8. It’s a gr8 way start a new series. Willow is stubborn, strong, smart, & funny. She has to be to kill demons. Everything about this story held me in it’s grip. I cried at the end so much it hurt. I’m looking forward to reading the next book. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up
Willow, the lead character in D.N. Hoxa’s Reaping Willow (Trappers, Inc. Book 1), may be “as good as the next girl when it comes to the easy stuff”, you know, “easy peasy” stuff like killing demons and reading people’s auras, but her life – and this book – is so much more complex. I had read the book this one is based on, A Soul’s Worth. This one is actually even better, but the basic description still applies: “a story of love, deceit, magic and other extraordinary things…” The only thing that’s missing there is how layered the plot is, how nicely complex the lead and supporting characters are, how strong the world-building and writing is and, frankly, just how fun this book was. I imagine DN Hoxa didn’t want to appear to be bragging but, luckily, I don’t have any such concerns and can call it like it is – and it is most excellent and strongly recommended. Frankly, but for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed, I could go on and on with praises. The book easily deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.
