I absolutely recommend this read!!!! I hate you right now !!! How could you do that to us?! The next part need to comes out quick! There is a part of me that actually wishes I didn’t read it so at least I could pretend the ending didn’t happen and they all live happily ever reaper happy, but no the uber reaper had to twist and turn with our hearts, lives and patience!!!
Great second addition! This series just keeps getting better. More twists, dark adventure and growth with our MC’s. When I wasn’t reading this, I was thinking about it- this twisted story will hold your attention and make you want more.
Trigger warnings for sensitive readers.
This is an outstanding addition to The Reapers Series. I love how much more you get to learn about Morana, Nash, Ranger and Hunter. The flashblack of the past are seamlessly integrated into the story. Deception has so many emotions involved especially dealing with the backlash of the happenings in book one. This book lives up to its title and is filled with deception, and suprises around every corner.
Book 2 picks up right where book 1 ends right in the middle of a bomb being dropped. Like wholly cow way to start a book.
We get to see Morana dealing with the aftermath of being kidnapped and the guys trying to help her. I love that we get to see another side to Morana than we did in the first book. The story gets more intense as it goes on and more mysteries to solve. The FBI shows up in town and that brings about a whole lot of unforseen complications. I did think that the guys could have been a tad bit more skeptical with Talin based off of what happend with the last guy.The reapers relationships are tested in this book. But what’s stronger than blood and family, maybe the it’s the secrets they hold.
There is something about an author who can write a character like Morana, The Reaper, who is a remorseless killer yet underneath the expressionless sociopathic exterior is a character that is so much more. Often, the second book of a series can be nothing more than an information dump, but that is not the case here. Reid keeps the story fresh and provides a unique plot to the RH genre.
The character development in this second installment was well done. Morana, rather than being a cold, selfish killer is in fact a self-deprecating woman who feels that she is unworthy of anyones love or affection. She is so much more than what is on the outside, and that works to her advantage. Reid provides a great deal of insight into what made Morana and her guys who they are. Their backstories, the glimpses provided through flashbacks, were well entwined within the present day and gave the reader a lot of good information.
The plot itself was unexpected. I enjoyed the twists and turns that Reid took us on. Instead of rehashing the past events, we were introduced to a new scenario and set of players out to claim the Valdis territory for themselves. They were still part of Valdis past, and so they were part of Morana’s past and how Reid wove that in was very well done.
I am excited to see the third installment of The Reaper series. It isn’t often that you get to root for the girl who thrives on murder, but that is exactly what Bo Reid aka, the Murder Queen, has the reader doing.
Murder, Vengeance, Lies, Love and Family is the basis of this series and that continues in book 2. Except that outside influences want to destroy both Morana and her family – Ranger, Hunter and Nash. So you can guarantee that blood and violence will follow. There sure is plenty of that in this book. Dark RH romance at its best and a damn fine read
