Never Fear the Reaper by Ashley Pagano is the first book by this author that I’ve read but it won’t be my last! This is the first book in the Never Fear the Reaper series, it’s intense, captivating, unique, funny and action-packed. I was able to read this in one sitting as it is a shorter read yet there was plenty of detail that it was easy to jump right in and follow along with Chase and Ryder as they start their adventure together!
From the very beginning I was hooked by this storyline, it was highly entertaining and even with the darker content I found myself laughing often as Chase comes to terms with his new abilities. I look forward to reading more about these two

For the first book in the series, Never Fear the Reaper series was FANTASTIC book to start the series. If you like paranormal/fantasy book, this is perfect book for you.

Never Fear the Reaper is the first book in the Never Fear the Reaper Series by Ashley Pagano. It is a great paranormal story with supernatural elements, action and adventure- and has a Buffy the Vampire Slayer vs Ghostbusters feel to it.
Ms. Pagano is a new-to-me author and I have very much enjoyed my first experience of her work. I was initially attracted the book by the intriguing cover, then when I read the blurb, I knew I had to read it. I will happily read anything she produces- because I know she will take me on a fantastic journey.
We begin this book with Chase meeting up with a mysterious woman who he hopes can help him with a problem that has his family quite unsettled. You see, his mother makes a living flipping houses- buying old, tired houses and transforming them into stylish ‘new’ homes. The latest flip house seems to have much bigger issues than they could have ever imagined- there have been many unexplainable disturbances and events that have put them all on edge… it appears to be haunted by quite a nasty spirit, who seems to have singled out Chases younger sister and relishes in tormenting her at every given opportunity. So, Chase takes it upon himself to find a solution to the problem and hopes that Ryder will be the answer they are looking for. But when he lays eyes on her for the first time, she is nothing like what he was expecting, he’s immediately attracted and intrigued by her- but doubts that she would be able to help with their ‘problem’. But, with no other options, Chase decides to see what she can do. What he witnesses when Ryder does her ‘thing’ will set Chase on an adventure that will change his life forever. What does he witness? Who, or what is Ryder? Why can Chase ‘See’ what she can, when others can’t? What happens when he offers to ‘help’ her? All these answers and so much more can be found by reading this absorbing tale. If you love a great paranormal story that will hold your attention, has an interesting storyline and engaging characters, then look no further because this book has what you what- it really is worth your time and money.
Bring on book two!
Thank you, Ms. Pagano!
Never Fear the Reaper (A Never Fear the Reaper Series Book 1) Ashley Pagano is an original read that is full of non stop action and the paranormal/supernatural. What happens when you cross humans and ghosts, poltergeists and demons? Fun, yes fun, helping them move on in some cases but making them move on is the more difficult task. The witty banter, the sarcasm, the unusual and the romance make for one interesting and engrossing read. The Reaper has never looked so good and what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. The main characters find themselves up against some heavy hitters and in more danger than they thought possible but can they survive or will they need unsuspecting help?
Never Fear the Reaper is a well written page turner with nonstop action so if you love supernatural/paranormal then you will love this.
Never Fear the Reaper is the first book in the Never Fear The Reaper series by Ashley Pagano. This is my first novel by this author.
After moving into a new house with his Mom and sister, Chase is running out of options when his sister starts to show signs of being terrorized by some unseen force especially when she jumps from the stairs or is rather pushed but no one was behind it.
From a referral is meets Ryder who is not what he expected at all and after their first conversation he isn’t a believer that she can help but has an attraction to her knowntheless.
A few days later, when Ryder visits the house a few days he is impressed that she was able to help after all.
After convincing Ryder to let him tag along, Chase accompanies her to some other adventures. Will Ryder open up to Chase?
This felt like a short read with a lot of banter between the two characters which had me hooked from the start.
Chase needing help but not really sure about hiring someone with the abilities made sense. Most people don’t believe in poltergeist.
I look forward to reading the next book.
Never Fear the Reaper by Ashley Pagano was an interesting read for me. Anyone that knows me knows that I love reading Paranormal. Anything Paranormal. Let’s just say that this book gives the reader a good dose, and provides an interesting storyline.
I absolutely fell in love with the characters. I loved Ryder and everything that she had offer. I think what won me over was the fact that they were riding around with the Grimm Reaper’s Scythe. She was a likeable and approachable individual. As for Chase, let’s say that he gets points for trying and wanting to protect his sister from all that haunts her. You have to give it to him though, he’s pretty brave in asking Ryder to allow him to join her while she works.
I loved getting lost in this book and seeing and experiencing all that the characters did. This was a definite 4 Star book for me!
Never Fear the Reaper (Never Fear The Reaper #1) by Ashley Pagano was a action packed, fun, and entertaining read that had me hooked form start to finish.
My first read by this author and this series, I was intrigued not only by the name, cover but, the synopsis. I was not let down and quickly devoured this book. Being that it comes in at 176 pages, it didn’t take me long at all to finish getting lost in Ryder’s and Chase’s world.
I loved Ryder as a character, he was blunt, straight forward and was a the best sort of badass. She kick death in the face, in more ways then one. Watching Chase wormed his way into her heart was fun, and it played out in a way making it realistic. The romance didn’t overshadow the plot and there was no weird love confessing to make it awkward.
I did want a little more on Chase, being that it is told from his POV, there wasn’t much detail on him, and in truth I had a hard time putting a face to him. I also wish it was told in dual POV, cause I really wanted to know what was going on in Ryder’s head. Especially at the end, cause I feel like there could have been more added to make that bloody fight, more in depth and amazing. Having that epic fight scene told from a third party and not from the fightee, make it less impactful. A fight scene like that needs to be centre stage, and not back seated for the lesser stuff. But all in all it was pretty epic, and that fight scene was choreographed splendidly.
Overall I had a time reading about this book, even if it did end on a little but of a cliff-hanger. Luckily all books are out, cause I need to know what Chase and Ryder has gotten themselves into. Cause there was something giving at the end there, that has my mind racking with theories.
Please take my super high recommendation and my stamp of approval that you will get lost in this story as I have, and have just as much bloody, paranormal fun.
Happy Reading

Never Fear the Reaper, a Never Fear the Reaper Series, Book 1 by Ashley Pagano
4 out of 5 Stars
I love this book. This introduction into the world of Chase and Ryder is off to a fantastic start. Chase is trying to get rid of a pesky ghost that seems to be intent on haunting his sister. Ryder just so happens to be an expert in getting rid of pesky ghosts.
Chase is drawn to Ryder. She is pretty, fiery, and has a supernatural talent that would draw any blue blooded man.
Ryder is reluctant to say that she finds herself attracted to Chase. Ryder takes on Chase as an apprentice to teach him all the things that he needs to know about keeping his sister safe, yet they are drawn to each other on a primal level.
The little flirtations between the two characters in this book make for some sweet and fun banter.
This book is masterfully written. They story progresses smoothly and there is never a time where you feel rushed, nor do you feel that the story is taking place and you do not know what is going on. This book is highly recommended for fans of the both the paranormal and the romance genre lovers.
5 Star

Rated 4 stars
This is a good story! The characters are fun and I look forward to reading them. The story was different from what I have read before. This one involves ghosts and demons. Did i mention action? This book is full of it! Another reason I really enjoyed this is it’s told from Chases view. His thoughts feeling and ideas.
Chase is a man who still lives with his Mother and sister. I Loved his views on moving around with them. Moving away from places he caused the most trouble for a fresh start….just to do it all over again. Haha! Very cute! Chase meets The ghost hunter so she can help him and his family out. I loved her because she is sooooo sarcastic!!! She doesn’t give an Inch! She is BAD….but in a good way! She is used to doing her job alone. Chase wants to join her but she has reservations.
This is a first time author for me as well as the first book in this series. It was exciting and I read until the end. I wanted to know what how their story was going to end.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I felt like I was transported straight into the pages. The author does a wonderful job with these characters and the storyline. Just a fantastic universe has been created and I cannot wait to read what happens next. Just a great book!
Never Fear the Reaper is the first in the series by Ashley Pagano. This is a science fiction/fantasy story that edges the boundaries of what is real and what is just beyond what you thought truly existed. Ashley Pagano has crafted an intriguing story line and a small cast of characters that spin this story in a way that stands away from other stories within this genre. While the story is predominantly science fiction, it is woven with a steady dosing of humor, sarcasm, and attractiveness. Chase and Ryder are the main characters and the ride that they are chasing is full throttle thrilling. The additional characters that come in through parts of the story are just the perfect mix to make this story addictive to read.
Never Fear The Reaper by Ashley Pagano is he first book in the Never Fear The Reaper series. This is an action packed story that will keep you hooked through to the end.
All chase wants is for the poltergeist in his house to be gone. So, to that end, he hires Ryder, the mysterious ghost hunter. What he never expected was to be drawn to Ryder and the work she carries out.
Convincing her to let him go with, he joins in her adventures and she hunts down the paranormal.
And when Chase starts to showcase some of his own, unusual abilities, things get even more exciting.
I was hooked on this book from the moment I read the blurb. I knew right away that it would be good but I never realised just how much I would enjoy it. This was a book that I started reading talking myself “just the first chapter” only to find I devoured it all in one sitting. This was well written, interesting and has such engaging characters that I couldn’t help but be sucked into the story line. I am looking forward to what else this series has to offer.
