Reaper's Assistant: Reapers of Rosethorne City Book 1
by Miri Cosette
About this book
Chaining myself to a broody reaper while colluding with a demon sounds like a death wish. But hey, I’ve been dead before.
You’d think being an assistant to the most notorious reaper in the city would have its perks. After all, what lowly human like myself wouldn’t appreciate a little borrowed magic?
Here’s the kick. I didn’t sign up for this.
Correction: I don’t remember signing up for this.
See, I died. And, according to my contract, agreed to return to the land of the living in exchange for a memory wipe and a lifetime of servitude to Apollo Grim, head reaper and insufferable prick.
Now, my best friend has been accused of murder. I know she’s innocent, but tensions are high and powerful people are looking for a scapegoat. To prove her innocence and find the true murderer, I have no choice but to team up with Detective Slater Brimstone, Rosethorne City’s most ruthless demon.
If Apollo ever finds out I’m working with Slater, our contract will be considered void and he’ll finish what he started. And this time, there’ll be no coming back from the dead.
Reaper's Assistant is a fun, fast-paced urban fantasy with plenty of twists and a dash of slow burn romance. Please note this book contains content such as adult language and mature themes. This book ends on a cliffhanger.

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...

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. )

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. )

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 )
