Lara is a reaper, locked out of Heaven, and the worst part is she doesn’t even know why. She’s not even sure if she’s still an angel anymore. On the bright side, she can still see the dead which makes her think that she hasn’t been fired. However, with each passing year, she realizes she’s been naive to think Heaven would make a mistake of this magnitude. Lara finally starts thinking about … about accepting her situation and making plans for the long term. Then she witnesses a young woman die in a car accident. It’s one thing to arrive after the fact to retrieve a soul, it’s another to actually see someone killed in person. Since Lara is the only one who can see the dead, she feels compelled to console the woman. But something is wrong. Since when are reapers late to pick up souls?
Convinced that her eternal soul may be at stake, Lara is pulled back into the life. She’s died once already. Now, flesh and blood, she’s worried about what will become of her if this new vessel is mortally wounded. Will she gain access to Heaven again, or will she plummet into a fiery Hell?

I loved this book’s new twist on the supernatural. There were some great twists and turns that kept me involved with the plot. There were a couple of plot points that fell a little flat. Almost like they were just thrown into make the story longer, but for the most part, the rest of the story made up for them.
I enjoyed the romance that was thrown in. Though at one point it fell a little flat with his new relationship. Like the one scene was thrown in so it looked like she wasn’t giving up so easily. The emotion just wasn’t there.
All in all, this book is a nice, comfortable quick read with paranormal elements and romance.

Expelled Reaper by Robyn Jenkins is the first book in The Last Reaper Series. This book is about a girl named Lara who unexpectedly dies and once she arrives in heaven is given the job of becoming a reaper. Then one evening Lara is sent to reap a soul and she ends up trapped on Earth with no way back to heaven. This book is an interesting take on what might happen after we die from the view point of someone working within the system. I really enjoyed the character Lara and her willingness to persevere. I thought that the world of reapers that is portrayed throughout this story was very believable and fun to read about. This was a really entertaining first book for a unique series that I totally enjoyed reading and I definitely look forward to reading the next book. Expelled Reaper is a after death love story.
