About the author
T.M. Cromer
66 books634 followersT.M. Cromer is a multi-award-winning sorceress of the written word and fearless architect of high-stakes paranormal romance. With a flair for twisty plots, slow burns, and swaggering heroes hot enough to scorch the page, she conjures stories that hook readers and refuse to let go. From her cozy PNW lair, flanked by two Hellhounds and an unholy amount of caffeine ambition, she weaves love, danger, and humor into every page. Whether it’s witches, sirens, or magical assassins, her characters never behave, and neither do her stories.
When she’s not dreaming up new ways to ruin her characters’ lives before crafting their HEA, she’s daydreaming about swimming with orcas or cackling over a particularly clever line of dialogue. Come for the magic, stay for the heartbreak, and maybe fall a little too hard for a man who only exists on the page.
T.M.’s stories are 100% certified organic, author-created content. No artificial intelligence was used in the writing of her books.

Amazing read!
This is one of the best books she has ever released! The beginning chapter made me cry! The rest of the book just sucked me straight in and wouldn't let me go!

Another Hit
I have loved Cromer’s books for awhile now and this one is no exception.
The back and forth of the main characters plus the addition of all the side characters, keep you going from page one.
Now I have to wait for the next one… sigh… 🤣

Another Winner!
I have read every book related to this series and once again, I love another one of her books! I’m always amazed at how she can take a moment in the story that is full of suspense or despair or danger and still be able to find a bit of humor. I love that. I have anxiety, so books that are heavy on angst are really tough for me to read. A little levity makes it a bit easier for me to enjoy the story. I love all the snark! I love the heat between Trevor and Soleil. I really loved this story and I’m so looking forward to the books that will come after!

These books are all fairly similar in that they get their hea’s. How they all play out. Well read to find out. I love the sass and seeing the characters from previous books. Books are easy quick reads. Very entertaining and amazing while recovering from book hangovers. I love this series…on to the next book.

Amazing
What can I say Tara is amazing, the way she brings the characters to life. Incorporating old ones and introducing new. She makes it seem so effortless. Any series of hers is nothing short of amazing but these witches have my heart. 🩷 If you want more amazing stories read her other series located in her store.

T M Cromer knows how to transport you into the story I could not put it down there so much happening I didn’t want to miss any of it. Trevor and Soleil’s story really is amazing. I was not disappointed I know this series is one I will revisit over and over again 📚📚📚📚📚

Excellent as usual. Lots of excitement and twists and turns. Even a cameo from Alister straightening his cuffs and tie.

Fantastic!!
Another fantastic book by T.M. Cromer. Book #2 of the Sentinels is a “can’t put down” with lots of twists and turns. This can be read as a standalone but I would suggest diving into the connecting previous books. You’ll love them all. I can’t wait for book #3.

I thought reading this series with the beginnings they way they written, I would hate them. But boy was I wrong. Tara brings so much to this book. I can’t wait to read the next installment.

Awesome Main Character
The death dealer is a great character. And the storyline was excellent. I anxiously await the third book in the series.

It's like Harry Potter, but for adults!
I just finished The Death Dealer, the second book in the Sentinals of Magic series by T. M. Cromer. The series reads like a book full of Harry Potter magic for adults only! Like the previous book, all the usual characters are back in great form-- Damian, the Aether, and his incredible minx of a daughter, Sabrina or Beastie, as Damian often refers to . Damian has been forced to play nice with the " Authorities," the magicical governing board of all witches and warlocks. He has created his own magic team of sentinels, who are marginal outcasts themselves. Death Dealer is the story of one of the Setininels, the Death Dealer,Trevor Blane, and his newfound true love, Earth Witch, Soleil Stephens.
The characters are so well-developed, so real, and so believable that they become your new best friends! The dialogue is full of witty, snarky teasing , just like you find in close knit familes, making this book lots of fun to read.
Sentinals of Magic is also full of mystery and suspense as the team races against time to find an assassin determined to cut Soliel down. While Trevor has been given the assignment to watch Soliel. But is that to complete the assignation or to protect her!
There are so many plot twists, and turns in this story, you need to make your own notes in order to keep everything straight in your mind.
Yet, you can count on T.M. Cromer to resolve enough of the conflict that I can still count on a happily ever after ending! Which is a must with anything I read! I am not a fan of cliffhanger endings. The author uses the prologue to introduce other characters and to explain how they're involved.

Well Dayum
So for starters when reading the Aether and the prologue I thought wow what's happening here. The Aether getting ready to go to the otherworld. Sabrina (Beastie) was an adult talking to her father. Then you start Chapter 1 Present Day. Okay present day after the otherworld? See confusing. Then I start reading The Death Dealer and it's Prologue had Damian again at the cemetery looking over the headstones of his family, wife, children and grandchildren. He's touching one headstone and it's Trevor Blane's again Sabrina is an adult he turns and sees Trevor reborn but still I guess a child. The Goddess is waiting for him to say his goodbyes. Then we go to chapter 1 Present Day I swear I'm not reading the prologue in The Seer's book. Nope I'm not.
So believe it or not I cannot in good conscious write a descriptive review because it could give the entire book and plot away. But I will say this OMG this book will keep on edge with every page turn. I have no words but this read was worth more than 5*

Idk. This wasn’t bad and had so much potential. Full disclosure I read it because I was lured in with the promise of romantasy spice and that is my kryptonite.
But there was only one spicy scene and it felt lacking. Also this all happened in the span of like two weeks and even though there was character development it felt like not enough.
Also I don’t like breasts are called creamy globes. Or when the main character just like pulls down his sheets to expose them to him when they aren’t even like anything yet at that point. The way spice was thrown into this just felt so off.
Then all the sudden with the epilogue she’s pregnant one week later????
Ok but the concept of the death dealer and his “curse” and what he could do was cool. I wish that was more.

The Second book in the new Sentinels of Magic series and the second time I've cried all through the prologue. I can sense a pattern here. Damien's reminiscences aside, I loved the story of Soleil and Trevor. He more than anyone deserved a happily ever after. The Authority is as evil as ever and hearts will be broken and lives lost, but that's ok, because there's always a happily ever after. The world that TM Cromer has created for the Thorne Witches, the Unlucky Charms and now, the Sentinels to inhabit is rich detail. Her characters are lovable, but flawed and her stories inspiring. I hope she never stops

The character in this book is afraid to love because most of his kind lose their lovers to disease because of who they are. The Death Dealer is given a job by The Authority, and he falls in love with his subject. He knows he has to ignore this fact, but without his help, she falls for him.
He tries to redeem himself, does a few things against the rules, then gets into trouble. Characters from TM Cromer's other books make an appearance to help this Death Dealer make him understand all is not lost.
Grab this second book in the series that follows two of her other series. I love her witchy reads and so will you!

Trevor is sent to watch the Earth Witch Soleil, but he struggles to just watch... 🔥
If you ever need a bit of magical joy in your life, pick up a Cromer book! Her quick witted writing is perfectly combined with beautiful romance.
Sassy Soleil and cheeky Trevor make quite the pair when they find themselves in the forced proxemith trope!
I also really related to the storyline of Soleil's lack of confidence, discovering by herself that she didn't need to look like her sisters to feel beautiful and sexy.
I can't wait for more from this series, I am holding out for Caster though 🤣

Absolutely stunning
The author has done it again with this absolutely captivating book. It follows well after the first book in the series. This book kept me captive and I wouldn't stop reading until I read the very last page. I love each and every character in this book. The part where she said don't give up on us for my heart into pieces. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who believes in love and magic.

I loved this book. I love all books by this author but this one felt extra special. When a Death Dealer is sent to watch the sister in law of The Aether without clear knowledge of why, things get confusing. Readers have met these characters previously but will get to know them so much better. The characters learn more about themselves in this adventure and their futures widen from doing so. There's humor, family, friendship adventure and passion.

The most awesome series I've read in a long time. So much so I couldn't take the time to review each book in multiple series from TM Cromer aka Ms. Genius, lol. I've read them so fast my head should be spinning! Her writing is that amazing. Loved every one so far and literally could not put them down. You are definitely missing out if you pass up reading her extraordinary, fun, funny, serious, and wonderful tales. Absolutely amazing reads!!

The Death Dealer
Trevor had the magic to kill or heal and all the Counsels wanted was the Death Dealer side. Soleil was a happy woman whom loved plants and enjoyed reading though she never expected to love a Death Dealer who thought he was cursed. Can they deal with his fears as the Counsels try to get him to kill again! Highly recommend this book and series

OMG! My heart was ready to explode
I for one love all of TM Cromer's books. They are very hard to put down. I love the friendly banter between everyone that makes you laugh. The struggle to get to the happily ever after was so worth it.

The Death Dealer is so good that it sucks you in, and it makes you feel like you are there watching everything that happens. I love the twisty turns that Ms.Cromer puts in this book. Their Death Dealer is a must-read.

How to Tame a Death Dealer
This was a fun read, despite the trauma it was full of. I enjoyed the bickering between the main characters and getting more time with some of my favorites, including a certain Beastie!
