I died for Hostess cupcakes.I know. Tragic, right?Even worse, after I came back I still didn’t get any cupcakes.What I did get, however, is a six-foot-something reaper with eyes like blue fire to guide me into the world of the supernatural. Which, as it turned out, wasn’t quite like the fairytales little girls are told growing up.Not only is magic real, more importantly, so are monsters.And … real, more importantly, so are monsters.
And apparently, I’m one of them.
But I’m getting ahead of myself here.
You see, four years ago I left my hometown and swore to never come back.
Now my brother is dead and I have no choice but to go searching for answers. Except finding them isn’t easy when the secret society he belonged to is covering it up.
I gotta find out who killed him while watching my own back, because if I’m not careful I might be next—and this time, there’s no do over. Luckily for me, Mr. Single and Hot as Fck is determined to help me keep my ass alive.
I’m a lucky, lucky girl.
Some days.

I sat down and started this, and didn’t stop till I hit the cliffhanger ending. I have now downloaded the second book and will be breaking into it first thing tomorrow. But this book had me from the very first sentence of the blurb. ‘I died for Hostess cupcakes.’ How could that not intrigue anyone? Salem has no filter, cannot lie to save her life, and is well aware of, and accepting, of her faults. Including her addiction to sugar. She is by far one of my favorite characters ever. Don’t get me wrong Tamsin is the coolest bestie ever. Go team succubus! And Graves is interesting too. I like that he can admit he envies things about Salem even as she drives him nuts. All in all a good team of characters and an interesting plot. Well worth the read.
Reaper’s Blood by Meg Anne is a wonderful story that I had the privilege to read. This is book number one in this wonderful start to a brand new series and I can not wait to read the next book in this wonderful series. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves reading about fantasy and paranormal romances.

I am absolutely in love with this story and amazing characters. She is in need and searching for answers about her brother. I really enjoyed this story and am so excited for the next one.
As a huge fan of Meg Anne’s Chosen series, the bar was already pretty high, but this book surpassed everything I thought it was going to be and then some. I have never laughed while reading as much as I did. All I can say is I’m anxiously awaiting the rest of the series…now where’s my hostess cupcakes?
What a great start to a new series!!!
It’s funny, snarky, and fast paced. Paranormal worlds mixed with the “real world” are one of my faves. This book surely does not disappoint!! I cannot wait for the next book!
This book was really fun and kept my focus from beginning to end. I seriously Salem & Graves! I cannot wait for the next book!

Yasssss…….give me all the Hostess Cakes!! I really enjoyed this book! Salem is my type of girl and I think we would be great friends. Her bestie Tamsin is awesome!! Graves is your typical brooding hottie! The chemistry between him and Salem is off the charts! The story and character development are well done. There wasn’t any lag in the pacing. It is a unique twist on PNR which I loved. The auxiliary characters are interesting too. I want to know more about a few of them. I can NOT wait for book 2!! Of course there is a slight cliffy of an ending but that is to be expected from these authors!!
I absolutely loved this book it was amazing I couldn’t put it down. The author did an amazing job writing it and I can’t wait to read what else they write
*Spoiler Alert*
I literally laughed my a$$ off all the way through this book. It was an absolute riot to read!! Salem (FMC) returns to her hometown to find out about her brothers death but what happens when shes there is not only a real opener but its a hell of a joyride. With a reluctant sidekick- Graves (brothers friend), a sex mad succubus friend – Tamsin, a loopy aunt and an adams family dressed ghost this book has it all. So good!!
Such a fun story. The banter and witty remarks between Salem, Grave and Tamsin are hilarious.
Salem and her friends are easily likable. It wasn’t long before I was completely sucked into their tale and trying to solve the case right along side them.
I enjoyed getting to discover some of the many layers to Salem.
I definitely have some theories about her and look forward to seeing if any are correct. I can’t wait to find out what happens next.
This book starts off at a 10 and finishes at an 11. It’s pacing was just so snappy and I never thought I’d love a stuffie so much!
I really love what the authors did here. It’s full of sass and snark in just the right amounts. I read this on the plane and pretty sure I was annoying a few people around me by laughing out loud a few times! Oops. #worthit.
Utterly Witty and Thrilling!
WOW! This is an absolutely thrilling and very funny story! The story is action packed with lots of suspense and intrigue to keep you on the edge of your seat; and with lots of laugh out loud moments to keep you highly entertained!
Salem is a sexy, fierce but a total smartass heroine that is always hungry. Her stomach gets her into some very serious life altering situations, right from chapter one!! Salem is a jump first ask questions later kind of woman, which makes her completely crazy! Who doesn’t love a heroine like that? Graves is a sexy supernatural who only tries to help Salem but ends up being tied to her for life! Their chemistry together is off the charts and their banter had me laughing so hard I might have peed a little! They are the ultimate power couple (they just need to get there). And the sexual tension between these two is so thick you could cut it with a knife. They need to get it on!
I loved everything about this story and I can’t wait for more books in this series. Salem is my knew girl crush – I want to be just like her!! Phenomenal writing and storytelling from this amazing author duo. I absolutely can’t wait for more.
can’t begin to explain how this book completely enraptures you from the start! I am officially OBSESSED with Salem, Graves and this new amazing world these two authors have created!
I am a total fan of Meg Anne. Kel Carpenter is new to me but I think I’m already in love! These two have come together and created a story that will hook you from the start and leave you breathless! This is definitely the beginning of an amazing series and I want book 2 NOW!
You will fall head over heals for Salem’s smart, and sassy attitude, Graces dark, protective broodiness and omg aunt Esme is absolutely the best! I can’t wait to see how this all plays out!

Reaper’s Blood is pretty funny. I usually don’t laugh at the books I read but this one I chuckled a few times. Our heroine, Salem, is dead one minute then not the next. Her death is a doozie. One she’s not expecting and definitely isn’t expecting what comes next.
Our Hero, Graves (they call him), was her twin brother’s best friend. The same twin brother who’d died for real and was just buried. Graves wants to know why she wasn’t there.
Anyway, despite their rocky start Graves figures out pretty quickly that Salem is a Reaper just like him. The strange part is there’s never been a female reaper – ever. What to do? What to do?
These two go on quite an adventure trying to figure out who killed Salem’s twin brother. She’s determined to get some answers. Though some answers you just aren’t ready for.
I’m looking forward to reading the next book in this series. Salem and Graves are going to give The Grimm Brotherhood a run for their money, stat.
I had the chance to read the ARC for this new series and it is so amazing that halfway through i went to one-clicked this gem!! You should do the same you won’t regret it. The story is well written action-packed, suspenseful with hilarious and witty banter between the main characters, Salem and Graves. I was hooked from the start. Go on and grab this series already!!

Reaper’s Blood is a bit different from Mrs. Kel Carpenter usual writing style, I haven’t had the chance to read Mrs. Meg Anne’s books. I don’t know how to describe it exactly, but RB is more lighter & funnier than her other 2 series. However, RB is an entertaining read with lots of laugh out loud moments.
It’s a hilarious concept dying for a cupcake, not for a pretty looking cupcake either. Salem, Tas, & Graves makes a great team especially Salem & Graves with all the snappiness, the great comebacks especially from her, all the sexual tension. Like for every series, it leaves off on a cliffy so readers are dying (pun intended) for book 2.
Wow, what a great start to a series. This story had me sucked in and devouring pages late into the night. A quick and easy read with plenty of action and unpredictable aspects. Salem dies and then comes back to life. She is a strong well-rounded character. She meets all the challenges that come her way with grace. Graves is a great guy and the connection between him and Salem is evident. He stops everything in his life to help Salem, his late best friends twin sister. I can’t wait to see where their connection takes them. The supernatural world is diverse in this story which is awesome, I really enjoyed the different facets. I’m upset that I don’t have the next book to read but I’ll gladly wait.
Sometimes I’m thank God I’ve got Kindle. When I discover that Kel Carpenter (a favorite author) has joined with Meg Anne with a new series, and then find out that – based on its first book, Reaper’s Blood – The Grimm Brotherhood is going to be a pretty darn incredible urban fantasy, well that’s the time to bless Amazon for being able to satisfy my need for a book “fix” as I will be addictively following this one. I expect that anyone else would too. I mean, c’mon, reapers and other monsters, magic, a true kick-a** heroine and a slow burn romance with Mr. “Hot as F*ck”? All in one really well-written, superbly plotted story with a pretty perfect cast of characters? Drool-worthy. Only downside is that I have to wait till March 9 for the kindle ebook edition of book 2, Reaping Havoc, to launch. Even though there was no cliffhanger in book 1 I’m still going to have to suffer withdrawal until March. Ouch. In the interim, as for this book 1? No surprise it’s highly recommended.
Salem’s returns to her hometown she swore she’d never return to. She plans to find her twin brothers killer only to die in a car crash and meet her brothers best friend Graves. Secrets are hiding everywhere and they must figure them out before it’s too late. A true page turner
