It’s not hard to see how Harper A. Brooks won that RONE Award! Her writing and storytelling are out of this world! I was hooked from the first page, and this story and these characters didn’t let go until the very end. I’ve already preordered Book 2! I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a unique take on the Urban Fantasy genre!
This was a very good styory.I enjoyed Jade she is courageous even more not knowing her past or the exact situation she still do her best to help and protect her friends. she sure does not like to take orders^^;; I loved Simon as well …he is trying to help when he can respecting her reticences…i would love to learn more about him.
Cole…i admired his persistence but i’m not sure i trust him.
There was a lot of action, a touch of romance some humour ( Marla and whiatt are too good)
lot of different paranormal and lot of question still left to be answered….so it’s a series i really want to continue to discover more about the universe and Jade the strange emotionnal reaper.
if you like urban fantasy with action humour romance and angels and demons this is ne you can definitively try!
Jade needs a new job. She doesn’t particularly like her job and she has a lot of trouble following the rules. When her latest job goes sideways, her boss is enraged. The next assignment is her last chance. He personally gives her a mission and she’s off.
But the job is Cole and the circumstances are different than she expected and she suddenly finds herself teamed up with Cole to find out what’s going on and how to stop it.
This is a page turning action adventure involving good and evil, angels and demons and a ton of surprises along the way. I liked Jade. She’s just sarcastic enough to be fun but she’s very self aware. Cole has his own problems but together the heat will knock you down. With every new chapter you get another twist and meeting some of the secondary characters adds to the surprise.
This is not a fast and easy read. There is a lot going on and the surprises keep coming. Great characters and a unique storyline. You’ll cheer Jade on and watch with amazement as she deals with one thing and then another. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).
Death Wish (Reaper Reborn, #1) by Harper A. Brooks is an amazing read for me. This is book number one in this amazing series writen by a nbrand new author for me to read. I loved reading this story and can not wait to read the next one cause this author made me feel like I was part of the story instead of just reading it. I highly recommend this to everyone who loves reading about paranormals in their stories.
This was an amazing book. I didn’t know what to expect from this new to me author. But her story blew my mind. Exciting, addictive and action packed.
Jade is brought into her new life as a reaper with not much to go on. Learning as she goes, her latest assignment tests everything she’s learnt in the past year.
This story follows Jade and her friends, both supernatural and human as they fight the demons from hell. There is some romance and hot scenes that totally spice up this novel.
I really enjoyed it. Hoping to read more from these characters and the author.
5/5
Death Wish (Reaper Reborn #1) was a good read by Harper A. Brooks. Jade Blackwell is a paranormal reaper who helps supernaturals cross over after death. There are a lot of rules that she doesn’t follow. But her job ends up involving her in something very deadly. Demons are crossing realms and impregnating humans, Jade’s best friend is one of their victims. She will do anything to save her best friend, even if she must working with Cole Masters, a demon halfling who is also a gun-for-hire. They must fix the barrier allowing the demons to cross realms and find a demon cure. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.
Entertaining and fun! Cool premise and likable characters!! Exciting action! Reapers and demons too! Jade is newly; about a year or so, a Reaper of the supernatural; she’s had her training and is setting out on her own, but she is still having issues with the emotional aspect of reaping people. She ends up in trouble for her poor reaping skills, which puts someone else’s life in jeopardy if she doesn’t start properly reaping. Following the rules becomes a problem when things start going crazy; demons running amok, the people she’s supposed to be reaping aren’t actually dying, she’s having unusual powers that she’s never had before, her best friend is in danger and her Reaper boss is missing, so she’s in for quite the adventure! She also doesn’t know anything about her life previous to being a reaper, so despite it being against the rules, she’s been trying to find out information. Along for her adventure, is half demon, Cole, who is distractingly attractive. There is some steam between these two! Loved Jade’s kick butt attitude! I’m back and forth on Cole; I like him okay, but he’s a bit too shady. I would’ve liked a bit more emotional connection between Jade and Cole, but I do like their chemistry. Overall, I enjoyed the whole read and am looking forward to continuing on with the series! This book does have some loose strings, so you’ll need to continue with the next books for the full story.
I truly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the rest of the series. This book was action packed and full of surprises. I was left guessing what would happen for the entire book. The world building was amazing and very written. The characters were also described thoroughly and seemed to be well thought out. This book was also very original and a new take on a supernatural idea that has been written about in a number of different ways. The only problem or downside to the book were the grammatical errors throughout the book. This did not take away from the book, but I was forced to read a couple of sentences 2 or 3 times in order to determine the correct wording occasionally. Overall this book was great and I will definitely read the other 5 books in the series!!
I absolutely loved this book! This series is becoming one of my absolute favorites! Jade is a reaper but not very good at it. She has no memories of her life before becoming a reaper. She wants to find out more about her past but trouble seems to find her. Cole is definitely something else. He is definitely a hot mess! I’m not sure what to think of him! Definitely a must read!!
Jade doesn’t remember her life before she became a reaper, and she has been a reaper for the Styx Corporation for one year. She has a tendency to muck up, so the boss is the Angel of Death (Azrael), and she doesn’t like getting his attention. Jade has been told that her next mistake might cost the reaper who trained her (Simon), so she better make sure that doesn’t happen. Although things about to change, because strange things are happening, like demons crossing over when they shouldn’t. Will Jade end up mucking up again? What about the odd things happening to Jade? I loved this intriguing tale, with a reaper who doesn’t fit in and her challenges to keep her friends safe (when the world has gone crazy).
I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received, and giving my thoughts and opinions on it.
This is a spectacular story. It is extremely well written and the characters are stunningly beautifully developed. It really is a breathtakingly good story. It does start, to me anyway, a bit slow. But, quickly picks up a few chapters into it. Once the story picks up there is a ton of action, suspense, drama, and there is a mystery included in it. Well actually, there are a couple of mysteries in it. As you are reading you are drawn into the characters and their lives. You feel like you are living along side them or you become them. You feel their pain and happiness. The emotions run deep at times and you feel that as if your own. The descriptions are vivid to allow you to easily picture what is going on in the scenes. Yes, it does end in a cliffhanger but the ride getting there is so much fun. This is a fantastic must read!
This is the first book in the series and I must admit, it took me a bit to get into it. But once that happened, wow! The author really took me on a thrilling ride.
The main character is strong and surrounded by mystery. In this book, part of the mysteries around her get disclosed, but can’t wait to read more. Loved the demons and ghosts. This is not a hot read, though some scenes naturally happen. Wish she would do a bit more with Sean, but think, or hope he will be more active in the next book.
Really enjoyed the strong, clean romance, which makes it a refreshing read.
What an amazing start to a series! A fast paced, action loaded good time. Jade’s story is definitely unique and I’m so glad for such a refreshing dive in this saturated genre. Brooks delivers a unique take on reapers and death and the afterlife while spinning a world that also stands out in the crowd. I’m really excited for more of Jade’s journey with Styx Corp. and her own self discovery. Angel? Reaper? I can’t wait to dive into the rest of the series!

I was surprised with this story. I really liked the characters, and the storyline was fun and different. Jade is a badass chick who struggles with following the rules and Cole is a wild card. Together they make an awesome team.
A deadly touch!

Harper A. Brook has created a fast-paced novel about the supernatural universe above and below the “normal” world. Jade Blackwell is a soul “reaper” for the Styx company. Her job is to release souls from the dying, in other words, kill them and set them on the path to the afterlife but it isn’t a job that she enjoys despite being assured by her mentor that it will get easier eventually.
When a routine reaping assignment goes awry Jade finds herself involved with a half-demon, Cole, and when her one human friend is threatened Jade teams up with him to save her.
I really enjoyed this book. I like the intrigue, battles, and non-stop action. The characters have depth and the story has good plot twists. The author creates an imaginative world with demons, angels, witches, and sorcerers. I received an advance copy but my review is honest and voluntary. This is a great series starter!
Wow … just wow! From the very opening scene through the last pages of the book I was intrigued and NEEDING more. Jade is a fantastic, kick butt heroine, and my love of her grows as the book continues. The main characters are epic and flawed and you love them any way, while the secondary characters add a dimension that is rare to find in novels. The world Harper A. Brooks weaves is incredible and I can’t wait to keep reading! If you need a fun, fast paced adventure into the paranormal and fantasy, this is your series!
Jade Blackwell isn’t your average reaper. She’s had her mind wiped, like all reapers, but not remembering who she was in life eats at her. Her search for the identity stripped from her helped form a friendship with a medium. Now when that medium is in trouble, Jade will step up to help save her. With a colorful cast of allies, Jade works against time in this fast-paced adventure. A must-read with some seriously hot moments and nail-bitting adventure.
Our heroine is reaper, tasked with helping souls cross over. But when the job goes wrong, it does so in a spectacular fashion leaving her with much bigger issues to deal with.
This is an urban fantasy story with reapers as the focus. The story is very well written and easy to read, with a well detailed world that seems very vivid in my mind’s eye. The characters are also well developed with solid and distinct personalities that bring them to life (as it were). The plot is fairly complex and involves mysteries, intrigue and lots of twists and turns which keep you guessing and turning the page to see what comes next. Overall, a highly enjoyable story and I look forward to the next book in the series.
Highly recommended.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout for review purposes.
Definitely loved the world building here, and I really liked how Jade was a tough, kickass heroine with some real vulnerabilities. While a lot of the plot for this one was wrapped up, there’s still so much left unfinished, and I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series!
Well, this book was not what I expected. It was so much better!! So we have action, mystery, betrayal and tragedy. The story starts slow but it builds and keeps you on the edge of your seat to see what will happen. You meet Jade Blackwell who is a reaper, yeah but not your typical grim reaper. Just a spirit who helps the decease cross over. She has been doing it a while and still is having issues doing her job. Then one day something goes wrong! She meets Cole Masters and she gets a feeling that things are off. So what will happen? Is there chemistry with these two or not? Why is she seeing more demons in the real world? What is going on? Where is her boss? So many things occur that she decides to stay in the real world. She develops new powers and everyone wants to know what she was before she dies? So what is she? I also did not expect to cry while reading this. Don’t second guess this book. It is worth reading!
