Reaper's Assistant: Reapers of Rosethorne City Book 1

by Miri Cosette

About this book

Death was only the beginning for Harper, but a mysterious contract has tethered her soul to Apollo Grim, Rosethorne City’s most notorious and insufferable reaper. As a human granted borrowed magic and a forced existence in a world where supernaturals reign supreme, Harper is caught in a dangerous game of servitude she cannot even remember agreeing to. The grittiness of the city hides dark secrets, and she is just a pawn—until a murder accusation threatens her best friend.

To unmask the true killer, Harper must play a deadly game of deception. She enters a perilous alliance with Detective Slater Brimstone, a ruthless demon who represents everything her contract forbids. This high-stakes investigation forces her into the shadows of a dark romance where every move could void her contract and trigger a permanent end.

Blending urban fantasy with a tantalizing slow-burn, this story is a whirlwind of supernatural intrigue and second-chance dynamics. It is a perfect pick for readers who crave atmospheric world-building, morally grey characters, and a plot that keeps you guessing until the final, heart-stopping cliffhanger. If you are looking for your next addictive paranormal obsession, step into the dangerous, neon-lit streets of Rosethorne City.

Quick fun read

Harper is a human in a city full of supernaturals who believe they are the top of the food chain. After making a deal with a reaper, Apollo, she now appears as half-demon/half-human with limited magic due to the necklace Apollo has given her. She has no memory of her past and owes Apollo a life time of servitude as his assistant. But not knowing anything about herself and having to hide that has gotten old. Then after an altercation at their favorite hang out, her best friend Cleo is arrested...

A terrific book

There is so much going on here. Harper’s story is twisted and is beginning to unravel but then the book ends. A convoluted plot, interesting characters all leave you guessing. )

Amazing story!

A compelling and dangerous world that the author has created. I loved the grittiness of the city. It’s a wonderful blend of light and dark with multiple species of paranormals living together. There are so many surprises, shocks and omg that cliffhanger! Loved the blend of urban fantasy and procedural where almost everyone is hiding something and trust is a dangerous commodity. Harper is a fantastic character and I cannot wait to see what happens next for her! I received an advance review copy...

Too much filler. I skipped 30% of the book and finally it got interesting again! I wanted to find out the ending and then a cliffhanger. Not sure if I am moving on. I do not like a seemingly ignorant, albeit memory loss, main character. Of course I hate a cliffhanger, too. )

Can't wait to read the next one!

This book grabbed me and pulled me in. Although I guessed a few things early, how it was put together was very entertaining. I will be getting the second one and dive right in )
