Right Hand Of The Reaper: A G.R.I.M Tale
What happens when the Grim Reaper goes missing?
All hell breaks loose. Literally.
In the wake of Grim's disappearance I'm left with running G.R.I.M while trying to fend off a demon sent to investigate some accusations against Thane (AKA Grim). Hades has ordered that G.R.I.M ceases to take care of souls while Thane is investigated, which annoys me. The guy might be king, but he's a twat who doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to soul collecting.
So after I get imbued with Grim's power (yay, go me...) I decide to go and find Thane and discover what is really going on. There is no way a guy as boring as Thane is mixed up in some underhand dealings. But, as I am soon to find out, all is not as it seems. Throw in my rebellious twin Hell Hounds, a seriously sexy demon, my awesome best friend and poor Norman will probably be dealing with a rather large PR nightmare. And don't even get me started on King Douche, my ex. Why he keeps sticking his gorgeous face in my business is beyond me.
All I wanted was a night off and a few cocktails, but fate would seem to have bigger plans. I just wished I knew what they were...
Right Hand Of The Reaper is a paranormal romance full of mystery, suspense, and an FMC who doesn't have to choose between the supernaturals she falls for. There is some MM in this and please read the content warnings as it may get a little dark. This book is recommended for 18+ as it contains graphic scenes, curse words, and lots of filth.

What a fantastic read. A little bit dark, a little bit fun, a little bit kinky and a little bit of a mystery. I love the loose play on Greek mythology. Roux and her entourage (can’t really say her men as they aren’t all hers yet) have an interesting mystery on their hands. This story is well written and I am looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Awesome just what I needed to rest my brain from all the stories that were starting to run together

I am not overly fond of reverse harem, but since I enjoy this author’s books, I will read anything she writes. This is a fascinating universe in which Reapers have a business, and the main reaper is missing. What follows is Roux, the main character, trying to find out what’s up with Thanatos, finding her mates, and dealing with lots of drama. I love that this isn’t only a RH, but that it is also a mystery wrapped up in it, too. This was full of action of both kinds, well-written, and a fun time. Recommend. I was provided a complimentary copy which I voluntarily reviewed.

Entertaining for sure! A unique premise and plot, and it definitely was spicy. The characters were all relatively likeable, but not particularly well fleshed out, and there was a lot of insta-love which is rarely my thing and even less so when it's involved in a bi-awakening.
Also, this book REALLY needed a good second pass from a grammar/spelling standpoint. Maybe it was just the Kindle version, but there were a lot of incorrect words, misspellings, missing words, etc. Enough that it was noticeable and distracting, not just one or two throughout the entire book.

So I read Royal Mistake and was really excited for this book to come out so I could read it, and I wasn't disappointed in any way, shape or form. My favourite Hellhound twins and vampire king are back with a whole array of other characters including our FMC, Roux. She's amazing, I love her and if none of the guys decide to marry her I totally will instead.
Roux is a reaper, she's good at her job and she has a wicked dark side that comes out to play when she reaps souls. But now the head honcho, Thane aka Thanatos has gone missing and there's a whole hoard of other things that have gone array.
The whole world is amazing and we get to see quite a few different places from Earth to the Underworld and even a little bit of Olympus. The world-building is fantastic and the plot is brilliant. I love the fact that the relationships are fairly poly. We have the MM from the twins and Magnus as well as a couple of others that I won't mention as well as the why choose for Roux and the guys too.
I'm excited to see where the author takes the characters and the story in book two!

Absolutely loved this book! I love how Roux immediately takes charge when Thane disappears and how she goes to find him. I loved how eventually everyone was able to find their mates and connect with each other and forgive each other. I loved Hades relation especially since he seemed completely against it at first. I didn’t like how all the names were somewhat similar and started with the same letter. Roux, Rayne, and Rafe. I loved how they found Thane in the end and cannot wait to read the next book. This ended on a cliffhanger and I’m anxiously awaiting book 2!

Wow that was quite an adventure. I definitely like Roux and how she handles everything. Loving all the gods and myths that are in this book. The whole reaper aspect is awesome. I dont see to many about them that I actually want to read. Can't wait for the next book to see what happens next to Roux and her men.

This has the bones for a great story, it just read like a draft. There were a ton of grammatical errors, mostly missing words. Not really a big problem, it just needed a little more work and maybe a little more fleshing out.
I am curious to see where this goes, so I'm hoping another one comes out. There's definitely potential here.

Spoilers ahead, and this was going to be a 4 star read up until about the 50 percent mark but I couldn't do it.
Alright, where do I begin with this one. I was hooked from the start the main character*chefs kiss* cool and confident without being super annoying. An air of mystery because we don't know her past and the connections to the gods and the paranormal! Sign me up. We have meddling gods, broken apart soul mates, and multiple mates. It started out great.
Then all of a sudden we jump from a plot moving along well, her getting to know the men in her group and some good old fashion forbidden love to utterly confusing love/sex hexagon that pulled focus from any kind of character development.
The scenes were well done and the kink factor for each individual was represented but I have to admit it was just too much. Just for reference so I may get it right.
Roux: mated to Atticus who also wants thane who in a past life was also with the incarnation of nyx/roux.
She also Wants to be mated to the twins and they are with Magnus who also wants to be with roux and is her ex...
then she is also maybe with Hades? Who we never see again after the two scenes in his office? And she has another possibility of a mate in the darkness which we are assuming is erburus? So 7 possible mates and they are also with each other and none of them get any real in depth POVs so we don't really get to know any of them after the first sex scene.
It got so in the weeds and focused so much on the relationship building that didn't include roux that I felt my brain glossing over a lot of it. It's just too much in a short book and short span of time. I also have to add that some of the MM seemed almost added after the fact and didn't seem like a huge plot point until it was the only plot point.
I think the author started off with a solid plot and plan and in the midst of attempting to execute a super complex relationship structure we lose a bit of the details and depth the first half of the book was going for and the really cool idea and plot are being outweighed by the need for smut and pushing the edge of there relationship which really wasn't needed because the book was holding its own.
The only other note on this that is related is that the guys personalities switched and changed a little dramatically over the course of the book and it seems like the author struggled with 7 different men and 7 different types of personalities. The twins started out hot headed and loyal but didn't come off as unintelligent or impulsive but by the end I almost dreaded their pov because it was not well done and they were hyper focused on Magnus when a few chapters earlier they were obsessed with roux. Atticus did a full turn on us. He started as the accountant type, then was the pierced dick and look under my clothes guy, then all of a sudden the only thing we are focusing on is his biawakening and nothing else about his personality or the fact that he died. I mean Hades didn't really exist or need to in this book, and Jesus Magnus. What was that? We get a few scenes of him being kind of arrogant and not telling roux the truth, then in the span of a few chapters he is completely all in and willing to be honest and is now a submissive in a three way with the twins and that's all we get from him from then on.....it just feels like we know nothing about these men, except for they like having sex with each other and may be useful to an extent in a fight.
I'm excited for the next book even though I obviously read this way too early because we don't have a name or release date yet.

I've been looking forward to Bailey Grayson's Right Hand of the Reaper ever since I read the prequel, A Royal Mistake and it was even better than I imagined.
Roux was a blast. She may be a reaper but she knows how to have fun. Roux is snarky, has a great sense of humor, and cares about people, especially the underdog. I love her personality, she's complex. Her vulnerability and empathy make her very likable. As the story goes on I enjoyed getting to see the many different sides to her.
This harem is turning into more of a Poly situation with a lot of complex relationships within the group. Some people have known each other for a while, there are exes, and those who are brand new. I don't know if everyone will be together in the end but it's heading that way. I like the guys a lot. Heck one of them Roux antagonizes so much that when they finally get together it's explosive. The twins are my favorite. Rafe and Rayne are twin hellhounds they are codependent because basically they're one soul in two different bodies so they're very similar in personality. Crazy, dangerous, protective, and possessive. Just my type. I'm not going to get into the others, I don't want to spoil anything because some of the relationship developments were a surprise.
The world-building was great. The story mainly takes place in the Underworld, we venture to a couple of cities, get an understanding of the hierarchy, and get a good look at how soul-reaping works. As for the plot, it worked really well. There was a mystery element that hooked me. I loved following Roux as she followed the clues to find Thane. There is an underlying current that something else is going on in the background that I could put my finger on at first but once I figured it out, wow. Interestingly enough, the story was filled with mythology. It was something didn't expect but I'm so not mad about it. Bailey brought all these elements together, different supernatural factions, mystery, gods, and relationship drama and it just works.
Oh, Bailey made Right Hand of the Reaper my happy place. Gods, it was just so good. It had all the things that I love in a paranormal romance and characters that easily liked. Speaking of characters, Roux and the guys have yet to solve the mystery of what's going on and things are getting dangerous. After reading the cliffhanger that Bailey left readers on I have a ton of questions, okay I had a ton before then too. I'm really excited for the rest of this series.

Finally some plot twists I didn’t see coming! OMG! Words have just all of a sudden left my body. 😂😂 How can I physically explain in words how much I loved this book? Everything from the world building, the characters, the plot, it was all written and explained so well. The magic system in this book? UNREAL! I was hooked from the very first page and never put this down unless I had to. This book is a complete mind f*ck, and I adored it. 🤧😍 The writing was immediately engrossing. The story kept me turning page after page.
The characters are actually lovable and relatable. They each have their own personalities and react differently to things and you can tell that each character is their own. Roux (our FMC) she's a sassy badass reaper with a snarky attitude, she's gorgeous and I fell in love with her right away. She has multiple love interest here but I love how it all turn out. But I was lowkey hoping she could be more intimate with her hellhound twins too. 🤧🤧 (Hopefully on the 2nd book)
This book is f*cking flawless and has absolutely everything I love in a book. The cliffhanger at the end makes you jumpy because you want to know what's gonna happen next! Immediately! Well, I cannot wait to read the next book. I'm already sold! This is such a great start for the series. 😍❤️

I have been craving this book ever since I read the prequel "A Royal Mistake" in a Christmas anthology. It was my first introduction to this author, and it made it very clear to me to never ever read one of her books in public again. So, once I got my hands on "Right Hand of The Reaper" I made sure I was safely at home with a cup of coffee and my e-reader, snuggling beneath a blanket so I could blame all my red cheeks on my fluffy cover. Probably redundant to say, but... the blanket had nothing to do with it.
It's not necessary to have read the prequel before starting this series, but if you're a fan of spicy MM scenes, I absolutely recommend reading it first. It explains a bit of the animosity between some of these characters, and it contains one of the hottest scenes I've ever read. It's important to love MM either way if you want to read this book, because this series is filled with MM love and feels more poly instead of reverse harem to me. The relationships between the men are equally, and at some times even a little more, important than those between Roux and the men.
Besides some amazing characters, this book also has an intriguing storyline that includes Gods, the Fates, reapers, demons, hellhounds and a whole lot more. I'm fascinated with the connections between all of these characters, the relationships that are developing (some fast, some a bit slower) and what the real story is behind Roux' past, present and future. I was definitely not disappointed with this book I had been looking forward to for almost a year, and I'm already counting the days until I can get my hands on book two!

October 22, 2023Oh, I love a good mystery, and Roux is a mystery wrapped in a mystery. She was human, but now she's a Reaper. She has no memories from her life before, very unusual, but she focuses on her job. And then her boss, Thane disappears, adding another mystery to the situation. G.R.I.M is not allowed to process any souls as the Guild launches an investigation into whether Thane was possibly harvesting souls for his own power. Roux knows her boss/friend wouldn't do that and is determined to find and help him. Her journey takes her right down the rabbit hole of the underworld, where she has to bargain with the Fates, fight off monsters, figure out why her face is on several portraits in a hidden mansion, and what Nyx has to do with any of it. Good thing she has her loyal hellhounds, her demon mate, vampire ex, and Hades to help her. She'll need to them as she works to find Thane, discover where the ghost are disappearing, who is draining vampire, why Olympus so quiet, oh...and who is the deep voice that spoke from the darkness in the vault.
This book is a RH and it is told from multi POV. It has underworld creatures mixed in with humans. Lots of steamy moments, some are MM, please read the note from the author at the beginning of the book. It has mates, soul sharing, and some jealousy from time to time. I can't wait to see where book two takes Roux and her crew.

Man was this a royalcoster of emotions. 4 ⭐️. This had moments where I was blushing (-holy smoke show this was smutty), had a heavy heart, AND THIS HAD well-developed characters who actually have depth (glaring at other monster smut authors). Add to that mix a really, REALLY good plot????? Amazing. 10/10. Would recommend.
I'm a sucker for all things supernatural, and I loved the whole grim reaper / gods idea this book has. It adds a sense of familiarity to the characters since you already know who they were, but with this author's own twist (I see you Hades).
Now to the important part of my review: The smut and kink WAS TO DIE FOR!!!! And I don't say that lightly. I loved that it was enough that the romance *cough* smut. *cough* was definitely part of the plot but not so much that I wanted to skip past it.
There was a full range of sub-tropes in the smut: daddy kink, dom twins (or maybe not wink wink), a biting vampire who's into blood, a hot-as-sin demon, yummy pain, degradation, and much more.
Literally can't wait to read the next part in the series to read more of this diverse DELICIOUS smut.
The ONLY reason this isn't 5 stars is because there was a lot of mm action and almost nothing with our fmc. I don't love reading mm so that's the only personal downside. But if you're into that stuff this should be right up your alley.

This book will have you hooked from the beginning!
The characters are amazing, it’s difficult to pick a favourite! They’re all snarky and hilarious. I love the multiple POV as you get to see their thoughts, opinions and feelings…particularly the ones they don’t say out loud! It really helped to understand the characters more.
It’s the first “why choose” book I’ve read where all the characters have intermingled relationships like this. And Roux is in the centre of it, with all of the men having one thing in common…their love for her.
I was hooked from the prologue, although, a little confused that the book seemingly ended in the same place it started…but not quite because in the prologue “her” was human and Roux is not! So I’m intrigued to see where it takes us, but quite clearly that was another incarnation of Nyx…or at least that’s the way it looks.
The story started of strong and never let up. Whether it was the mystery surrounding Thanes disappearance, the intensity between the characters with their own little story arcs, or the sexual tension between most of them…it all added to a great story, and I can’t wait for more…just as well I have book 2 and can move straight onto it!

I have been anxiously awaiting this series since reading the prequel where we first met Rafe and Rayne the twin hellhounds and king Magnus then Al only known as Beau. With this first book we get to finally meet Roux the main female character. She a reaper and works alongside Rafe and Rayne. Managua is her ex and the vampire king and then theoughout the book we also meet Hades king of the underworld, Thane the original grim reaper, and Atticus a Métis demon.
Thane has disappeared and Roux has taken it upon herself to track him down. With him disappearing under unusual circumstances that leaves her as the head reaper. Strange things have been happening and she is determined to find out the issue. There is no shortage of mystery, snark, or heat in this book. I loved seeing the different points of view from the guys and Roux and getting more backstory on Magnus. The twins are my favorites so far and I’m enjoying watching the dynamics between the different people growing and building. I think this book has set up a great foundation for the next book and I’m excited to see what happens after that ending.

This book was gripping from go and I need to know what happens next.
Sprinkles of Greek mythos set in the Underworld with demons, hellhounds, vampires and a snarky reaper, Roux, creates the setting and after the beginning scene of the book, you long for clarity and understanding
Roux is just trying to live her afterlife, dealing with bullies, having conflicting emotions about an ex, a forbidden desire for the hellhounds that she is bonded to, and the irritating attraction to the king of the Underworld.
She finds herself in a predicament when her boss, Grim, aka Thane/Thanatos, goes missing and is accused and being investigated for stealing souls for his own gain. G.R.I.M is left in chaos with souls needing to be taken care of and now Roux is suddenly in charge, and has no desire to be. She has her hands full with figuring out her new role now that she has Thane's scythe and having to report to Hades and more importantly, trying to find out what happened to Thane.
I quite enjoyed this book, and I am really looking forwards to the sequel and finding out what happens next! Definitely recommend for people who enjoy a romp through the Underworld.

This is the book I have read from this author, and Dan why did I not read anything from her sooner I just couldn’t put this book down from start to finish. This book is a why choose paranormal romance, so if that’s your thing this book is definitely for you. There is also content warnings for this book so if you do have any triggers have a little look before jumping into this book. This book kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish, dam Roux is a strong independent FMC with a good bit of sass thrown in. Roux is left with running G.R.I.M after her boss Thane disappears, and is left with a demon to fend off who was sent to investigate her boss. G.R.I.M is no longer aloud to collect souls while the investigation is on going and the orders came directly from Hades. Roux ends up with grims powers and is deterred to find thane and get to the bottom of what is going on. Dam so much actually happens in this book that I want to tell you about but not going to spoil it. Dam that cliffhanger was just WOW blown my mind. Can’t wait for the next one

Roux was a Reaper with no memory of her past and suddenly, the Thane, the Grim Reaper was missing and Atticus Drake a Metus demon was sent by the Guild to lead the investigation into allegations that Thane was stealing souls. Hades, King of the Dead,said that the Royal Guard would take over the transferring of all souls. Something was going on even ghosts were disappearing. Roux with her own personal hell hound twins, Refe and Rayne are looking for him. You need to read to see the deal that Roux makes with the fates to see if she can get some information into Thane's whereabouts. See what Magnus the king of the vampires wants. Read the surprise person Roux mate bonds to. What is the story of Nyx? What is in the Vault that is impossible to break into? As Prometheus lets them in to the area to the vault he says he wants something in return, of course a key. Curious why he needs a key? And why does Prometheus say that the vault, “Getting in is the easy bit, getting out....” And as the book ends you hear “Hello little thief. I've been waiting for you.” I can't wait for the next book.

Just amazing!
I absolutely 100% am enthralled with this book and can't wait to find out what happens next!
The prologue, I'm assuming, correlates to the last chapter, so I'm so intrigued with seeing what happens.
Roux is a Reaper, but not just any Reaper, but the 2nd in command to the GRIM Reaper. But unlike others, she has no memory of her past before she died and then became a reaper. This book kicks off with discovering that her mentor has gone missing and his responsibilities now lie on her shoulders. She is determined to find him with the help of her two hellhounds.
I loved the hellhound twins and hated that they were not allowed to be "with" Roux... so I'm hoping that changes soon.
With the help of her hellhounds, and other people i don't want to mention in case it ruins the book, she goes on a journey to find out more about Nyx... and she feels so familiar!!
Read it! You won't be disappointed!

Right Hand Of The Reaper by Bailey Grayson is a phenomenal and exciting paranormal reverse harem. When Thane the God of Death goes missing Roux is determined to solve the mystery that led up to this disappearance. As she follows his path before he dissapeared she discovers that is something big going on that reached from the underworld all.the way up to Olympus.
I loved this story. So many twists and surprises as Roux gets answers from the Fates, Hades, and some other people along the way. She continues to fight her attraction to her gorgeous off-limits hellhounds. There is plenty of spice as Rous begins to give into her feelings.
I rated it 5 out of 5 stars. The characters and world-building were amazing! There is plenty of suspense as readers try to figure out what's going on by the bits and pieces given, however there is plenty still yet to be revealed. If you like a little darkness in your romance this is for you. Right Hand Of The Reaper has reverse harem, mythology, paranormal romance that ends with a cliffhanger and promise. I can't wait for the next book and to discover the new character..
I definitely have some ideas about where it's heading. Enjoy!!!

Reverse Harem Poly Romance
Multiple POV
Mate Bonds
Mystery
This book was full of action and such a great read! There are mate bonds, a mystery of sorts to figure out, a possibly prophecy and so much more!
We have our FMC that has connections with several men in her life - although not necessarily committed relationship connections. Our MMCs are all a little bit different and bring something the others don't have to their relationship with our FMC. While not all 'romantic' connections are made in this book, I think we definitely can tell that those connections will be made, just a mere matter of time.
The only 'negative' I have for this book so far is that it feels a bit rushed but I'm assuming that it's just setting us up for the next installment which will probably answer any lingering questions.
This one does end on a cliff-hanger and I cannot wait to figure out what is coming next.

Intriguing start to a new poly romance through a paranormal universe
This is the first book I’ve read from this author and I honestly can‘t wait for the next novel in the series! Bailey created a paranormal world where reapers lead their own company and each creature has their own purpose. Through the story, we are led on a merry chase searching for Thane aka Thanatos who has disappeared suddenly. Following the FMC, we are introduced to quite a few intriguing characters who will develop their own relationships. I like that Bailey hasn’t put the sole focus on the FMC like in other reverse harem stories, instead there is a lot of MM. But the best thing in my opinion is how lifelike Bailey portrays all the characters and how involved you get in their world.
Give it a try and find out if you manage to drag yourself out of this adventure or if you have to read it in one go like I did!

So, to start I have to admit that Grayson is a new author for me but I have to say that I loved this read! Well written with complex, relatable characters and a smooth flowing storyline that will captivate from start to finish. I would consider this a reverse harem, paranormal romance read but with a wonderful mystery added to the mix. I love our female main character so much! Her sass and humor along with her empathy made her a fantastic character I couldn't get enough of! I also loved the drama, mystery, action and of course the steamy chemistry was...well, whew - yeah! For sure read the warnings and know this has M/M action which I have to say I'm not normally a huge fan of but Grayson does a great job and I still highly enjoyed this read! The cliffhanger of an ending has me well and eager for book 2 in this series - I can't wait, I need answers!

Wow this was a phenomenal read ! It was all consuming , such a fantastic start to a new series! I was instantly hooked, the premise of the story, the character development, worldbuilding , all of it was so well done, so well laid out and an absolutely engrossing read. I really enjoyed how we were introduced to such a diverse group of supernaturals with very distinct personalities and unique back stories that we had hints of as the story progressed. I am looking forward to learning more about all of them! I really enjoyed the storyline . I loved that while this is a poly story, there is so much else going on as well, the mystery and suspense is just as intriguing as the individuals in the book. I read this in one sitting, it is really well done, the pace and flow makes it easy to read, the spice is so spicy , the emotions these characters express and feel were so well done, I felt as if I was in the story. I am so so looking forward to the next book!

Bailey had me pleasantly surprised! Most fantasy series have so much world building, the smut can take a hot second to appear on the page. Bailey built the world, introduced us to characters, developed a plot, and still jammed in enough fast and early spice to make me sweat. The story of Roux is inexplicably tied to Greek mythology, and there is also a cast of characters including demons, vampires, hellhounds, and reapers overlapping as well. A little something for everyone in the fantasy/paranormal camp. And true to that genre, I'm excited for the next book and it's plot continuation, but I also have a good amount of heartache for what's developing into a bigger harem. Her hellhounds specifically will make your throat get tight, as a deep and unfettered longing is left to languish away as we turn page after page. After some less than exciting reads, I highly, highly recommend this for the fast burn paranormal crowd. This will make you happy.

I am so in love with this book right now. Definitely one of my top reads of 2024. The book starts off strong with an independent and kickass FMC. I loved how the author just managed to ease all the relationships between the characters seamlessly into the book. Also how the MMCs were not dependent on Roux. They were definitely possessive and overprotective but they allowed her to be herself and they respected her decisions even thought the might to like it (which was a lot😂😂). I’m still sad about the situation with the twins but I’m looking forward to seeing more of that.
Don’t even get me started on the storyline there was spice everywheeeeerrrreeeeee and it was not one of forced inclusion. The sub plots between the characters blended so well to make way for the bigger one and I was so excited on the Mythology aspect like who doesn’t love Hadesss❤️
All in all I loved this book definitely 5 stars 🌟 can’t wait to see what book 2 has in store💋

Right Hand Of The Reaper is book one in the A G.R.I.M Tale series written by Bailey Grayson.
💜 FMC reaper
💜 mysteries
💜 why choose
💜 fated mates
💜 🌶🌶🌶🌶 spice
Roux is a reaper and on her night off. Her one night off and who knows how long and this vampire just won’t take no from the woman in the club. Why do men have to be this way? So of course, she had to say something. And as you can guess, she had to step in and it didn’t go well. Then her night went from bad to worse and things kept getting sticker from there.
This was a wonderful start to a new series. There are so many mysteries that seem to unfold. The other characters that we meet are fascinating and have depths of their own that we seem to get more glimpses of who they are as we progressed through the story. The world building was also wonderful as well. I really can’t wait until the next book comes out as this one ends with a cliffhanger.

Right Hand of the Reaper is a fantastic book that is going to leave you eager for book two. Yes, this is a series, and yes, there is a cliffhanger. LOL! Sorry, not sorry.
Roux is the second hand reaper to the Grim Reaper. Emphasis on the. The big guy in charge? Well, he mysteriously disappears. But there's more to it. He's being investigated. First thought? He's been arrested by the Royal Guard. The author says...let me think...nope. Let's throw in a twist! Surprise! What really happened? Well, you're going to have to read to find out!
The dynamics are really good throughout this book. You have developing relationships, tons of mystery and quite a few twists to keep you on your toes. Love a good dark paranormal reverse harem novel? Then this is one that you're going to want to check out!
5 out of 5 stars
