Soul Seducer
(Re-release of 2012 Novel - Contains previously deleted scenes)
She spent her entire life fighting death. Now she’s falling in love with him…
Audra Grayson became a nurse in order to help save lives. But one night after a brutal beating, she almost loses her own. The near-death experience opens a door between the world of the living and the world beyond. Two Grim Reapers invade her life. One is charming, with the angelic blonde looks of a saint and the black soul of a psychopath. The other is dark, dangerously attractive and, in spite of her distaste for his reaper duties, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to him.
When Audra's patients begin to die unexpectedly and her loved ones are threatened, she will risk her life—even her soul—to save them. But can she risk her heart to an inhuman being whose very purpose is to take those she is trying to save?

What if death had a face or many faces? Imagine when it is your time to die, death or the reaper holds his or her hand out to you in order to help you transition to your final destination. However, what if there were other reapers who prematurely stole the lives of the living for their personal gratification? Two factions with two separate agendas. Huh, what a conundrum.
Nurse, Audra Grayson's kindness and caring is not limited to the hospital in which she works. One of her former patients, Maria has been battered and abused so many times by her evil husband that Audra has lost count. On this occasion, Audra has agreed to meet Maria in order to help her. Unfortunately, what Audra encounters is a brutal beating at the hands of three assailants. Just as Audra believes she can take no more blows she is found by two men who call the police and ambulance. When she slowly begins to awaken she sees two men: one blond, Gaylen and the other dark haired, Dimitri discussing her future. The blond offers to take away her pain while the other brooding dark one insists that he leave her alone. She is confused and asks who they are. They are surprised to discover she can see them.
Dimitri is a reaper, one who collects the soul of the dying. However, he has a small problem; actually a big one, he is in love with a human woman, Audra. He has watched over her since the time she was a child and sat alone with the dead body of her mother for three days. He knows he has no right to love her and he attempts to keep his distance just as long as Gaylen does not attempt to collect Audra's soul before her time. Unfortunately, Gaylen has a score to settle with Dimitri and Audra is at the heart of it. Gaylen is not above anything evil in order to get his hands on Audra including taking the souls of everyone Audra loves.
Additionally, there is a serial rapist and killer running around the small town targeting teen girls. Dimitri harvests the soul of one of the victims, Cassie and enrolls her in the reaper training program so to speak. Cassie is now his new trainee and she cannot help but notice his fascination with Audra. Cassie also notices how kind Audra is and she reveals herself to her adding to an already confused woman. Then, patients in Audra's care begin dying as Gaylen steps up his scheme to blackmail Audra into yielding her soul and breath over to him. Will she take the bait before everyone she has ever loved is painfully taken from her or will she find a way to stop Gaylen? Will she discover who Dimitri really is and can she ever get over the fact that he is a reaper? These are the questions you will have answered once you read the book.
I enjoyed this book because of the straight forward writing style and the world building. The plot has many twists, turns and surprises. If I had any criticism it would be that at times I felt too much was going on. Too many people are made reapers once they die making me ask the question, "What is the criteria for this job?" Also, I had trouble with Audra's character at times. With all of the cussing she does, it was a little hard to think of her as sweet and kind ( I am not against profanity by the way). Additionally, my biggest issue with her is that she instantaneously proclaims her love for Dimitri to herself instead of transitioning into attraction, like, then love. This bothered me because on numerous occasions she tells him she hates him and what his job entails. Gaylen and Veronica were admirable villians. I just wished Samuel had made more appearances. Who knows, he could have a book of his own with Cassie as his sidekick.

I encounter more misses then hits in the paranormal romance and urban fantasy genres. Nine times out of ten this is because the author will try to show how strong and self relent the heroine is, by making her unafraid to speak up and solving her own problems. Unfortunately this usually ends up making our 'star' looking like a argumentative bitch, how picks fights and stupidly shrugs of all offers of help, when it's evident that she can't dig herself out of whatever hole she's got herself in to.
I knew SOUL SEDUCER would be more enjoyable then the majority of these genre offerings early on, for the simple reason that I didn't want to throttle Audra. She remains level headed throughout most of the story, and when she does put herself in harms way I can see her reasoning's for doing so. I also really liked that Audra's ex husband isn't some cheating psycho - he is a loving and kind man, who platonically loves her.
The hero - Dimitri - makes a nice match for Audra in terms of likability. He is tortured and isn't all sweetness and light, but he doesn't come of of as whiny or self-pitying. He actually DOES HIS JOB, even when faced with a tearful Audra and his own regrets. Again this is a nice change not to have the author whitewash things, trying to make the unpleasant realities of her world setting more romantic and lovey dovey; to pull a example of similar tactics out of thin air, authors making vampires not actually drink blood is a popular white washing ploy.
The romance between Audra and Dimitri works; I really become caught up with their budding romance and their feelings of hopelessness and the inevitability, as there doesn't seem to be a way for them to find a happy ending. The development of their feeling towards each other doesn't feel forced or rushed and the chemistry is instantly apparent.
All in all, I found SOUL SEDUCER to be a breath of fresh air in today's over-saturated paranormal romance genre.
In addition to the romance, there is a whole series worth of twists and turns crammed into one book, so I couldn't begin to guess at what would happen next. I hope that the author is planning to write more books set in this world, as I learning about the author's take on grim reapers, how they go about their work and what the rules are. Now I've gained a understanding of this world I want more.
The fact that there is so much happening in the story is bit of a double edged sword; it also means that the author has to speed some plot threads in the book up, in order to fit everything in.
But when this is the only flaw that I can see with a story, then I know that I've struck gold.

To be honest I had a tough time connecting with the first part of Soul Seducer. I was drawn to the story because the premise sounded like something new and exciting. Dimitri is a reaper, a tortured soul who falls in love with Audra Greyson, a woman who is still alive. Another reaper, Gaylen, has a vendetta against Dimitri for a wrong committed when they were both still alive. He plans to take Audra before her assigned time to die to keep her bound to him forever and out of Dimitri’s reach.
All the necessary elements for a great romance are here, but the execution doesn’t come through well. I found Audra extremely hard to relate to. I felt her reactions to Dimitri were off key. Since she is a nurse by profession, Audra should understand better than most that death is a part of life; we can’t have one without the other. It is Dimitri’s job to escort the souls of those who die to their reward, or punishment. He is not the one to actually kill these people so I couldn’t understand why she wanted to blame him for their loss. Since Audra didn’t come across as all that interesting or likable to me, I needed to understand better why Dimitri loved her. Part of me actually hoped he’d just turn and walk away, let Gaylen take her.
Gaylen, our evil counterpart to Dimitri, is out to claim Audra for himself, not because he loves her, but because he wants to take her from Dimitri and keep her away from him forever. Gaylen was a great character and came across better than the others. If not for my interest in him I might not have finished the story. I felt the author had fun working with Gaylen and it showed in how he came across on the pages.
All through the story I found myself questioning how a person became a reaper in the first place. At first I thought it might be because they had to atone for some past transgression in life, but other characters became reapers after death and didn’t appear to have committed any unsavory deeds. There were more people becoming reapers after death than there were souls being taken to their reward, which made me think eventually there would be more reapers than living people on the planet.
There were a lot of areas where the story strayed away from the main plotline. I found most of them to be a distraction and ended up skimming to get back on track. I would rather have learned more about Dimitri in his life before he became a reaper and less about minor characters not connected to him. I also craved much more from Audra in connection to Dimitri as a lover and less on his job as a reaper.
The novel could have used two or three more passes by an editor to help polish before publishing. I wanted to give it three stars but couldn’t quite justify it because of editing issues. Though the beginning didn’t catch my attention well, I did find the last half to be much better. I wanted to hang around to learn what happened. It wasn’t an altogether unsatisfactory ending, but I would have liked an epilogue to find out where they ended up.

This had me on the edge of my seat.
The subplot with the serial killer was very creepy and disturbing, especially when you discover who it is, but I wish there were some trigger warnings for .
The heroine was irritating at times and there were several moments where I really wanted to knock some sense into her. The romance was sweet, but not entirely convincing on the heroine's end.
A lot of characters die in this book and there are some pretty uncomfortable topics like , so if you're just looking for some silly PNR about fated mates falling in lust, look elsewhere.

Soul Seducer is a riveting, amazing paranormal romance. It's unusual in that you usually don't see books about grim reapers, especially as the hero. And, speaking of hero...Dimitri is soooo sexy. He's also tormented and has a great balance of flaw and heroic qualities. Audra is the perfect heroine for him. She's a nurse, which creates a lot of conflict. The bad guy is chilling. The entire novel is compelling and I didn't want it to end. I hope the next book in the series comes out soon!

This was a hard read for me for the sole reason that I could not connect with Audra at all. To me, she came across as a demanding woman who did not know what she wanted. First, she was in love with her ex-husband, then she's in lust with Dimitri but still goes out with Shane who is clearly interested in her. What's more, she doesn't want to 'see' Dimitri and dismissed him, but then is calling for him and expects him to run when she calls. Really?
Anyway, I could easily connect with Dimitri and even felt sorry for him in a couple of scenes. He was such a tortured soul and he really cared about Audra. I even liked Gaylen. He was interesting in a evil sort of way. I understood where his hatred for Dimitri came from and why he wanted revenge. Except for Cassie, another reaper, I really did not care for the other characters. Even Audra's best friend was selfish and demanding!
I found the pace to be a bit slow, especially since Audra's inner ramblings sometimes tended to go off point and didn't add anything to the story. There were a lot of other side stories that made it hard for me to concentrate on the main plot. Some added to the story, others took away from it. The plot resolution was nicely handled but I think that the ending came a bit sudden. I would have loved to read an Epilogue if only to know how these two went about living their life together.
The romance side of the story was just okay for me. There was this one scene that was really hot and went with the story nicely. But of course, Audra had to go and ruin it for me. Sometimes I couldn't see the connection between Audra and Dimitri, there wasn't anything overtly emotional in their dialog, no humor and other than that first scene, the chemistry wasn't palpable to me.
I really wanted to like this book since the concept the author, Alicia Dean, came up with was different and very interesting. It could have gone in a lot of directions and well, at least for me, it didn't live up to my expectations. It is not a bad book or poorly written, I just think that Audra could have been presented in a more likable way and the romance explored further. All in all, an okay book.
I received this book as part of the R2R (Read to Review) program in the group Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy Fanatics! and would like to thank them for giving me the opportunity to read and review this title.

Nice spin on Grim Reapers! Alicia Dean shows reapers in a different light in "Soul Seducer."
Audra is a nurse who experiences a near-fatal beating, which is when she notices 2 "individuals" looking at her. What she doesn't realize at the time is that they're reapers, who are waiting to see if they need to take her soul while she recovers in the hospital.
Gaylen is the blonde hunk, who wants to take Audra's soul and spirit. Dimitri is the tall, dark, and handsome dude, who wants to keep Gaylen away from Audra, and keep her for himself. Initially, Audra finds herself drawn to both reapers, but as the story progresses, she realizes that one of them isn't all he's cracked up to be. Maybe even BOTH of them.
She also discovers that Dimitri has been watching over her pretty much all her life. Although he's not a guardian angel, Audra finds it sweet (if a bit unnerving) to know Dimitri was there all along, and she didn't know it. See, she was only able to see the reapers after she had a near-death experience.
The way the author weaves this yarn will have you flipping your fingers so fast, you'll wonder how you finished the book so quickly! The back story of the main reapers, along with the secondaries: Veronica, Cassie, Samuel, etc., will truly entertain you. I appreciated how the the concept of reapers actually develops in the storyline; what they can do, what they can't, how their abilities work, the exceptions to the rules, etc. Ms. Dean adds enough detail within the book to make you appreciate the effort it took to build the world Audra lives in. Although the ending was a little too "convenient" for the HEA, it was good to see it end on a beautiful note.
"Soul Seducer" is poignant, heartbreaking in some places, and riveting in others. When death and what happens afterwards is the main focus of a book, usually it's depressing. Not in this one, however; I definitely enjoyed it, and am looking forward to more from the author.

Soul Seducer is the story of Audra who can see Reapers. Not only can she see reapers, she has two that are fighting over her. One wants to take her soul early, the other wants to protect her. Along the way she falls in love.
This was a very interesting story between good and evil. On the one hand we have good who is following the natural order of things and trying to keep peace. Because of this he has to watch good people die and help them on their way. Then we have evil, that wants to take people early, he wants their essence. He feels powerful and can’t wait to wreak havoc on the world. His main goal to get Audra and keep her tied to him for eternity and he’ll do anything to get her.
Dimitri and Gaylen (the reapers) were phenomenal. I loved their stories and found them extremely fascinating. They intrigued me from the beginning. They were fighting a supernatural war right in front of us with none of us the wiser. Dimtri follows the rules and allows the natural order of things to happen. Gaylen wreaks havoc and takes people’s souls early. Which begs the question, is it fate when people die early or was it ordained? When the reaper doesn’t take someone who was supposed to die, what kind of long-reaching consequences are there? Things to ponder.
I had a little bit of a hard time connecting with Audra. I didn’t really understand a lot about her. I knew some of her history but it was still hard to connect to her. I did like the bit of mystery that was involved with the story. I found the outcome of the mystery to be interesting and unexpected.
The romance between Dimitri and Audra was intriguing. I really liked them as a couple. I found myself hoping they would get their HEA.
There’s a lot of potential with this story and I hope we get more Soul Reaper stories. I think there’s a lot of room for creativity and stories.

I received a copy of this through a Read2Review so I would like to thank the author as well as my GR group for this opportunity.
I really enjoyed this story, although it was a bit transparent and I figured out how it would play out, I still found myself liking the story. Personally, I gravitate toward books that have more twists, more surprises. This book really didn't have any, but I didn't struggle to finish it. The overall premise was attractive. Pacing flowed well and editing was done throughly. I felt that the characters were some-what developed and the dynamics between the characters were thought out. The writing was well crafted and descriptive enough to engage myself as the reader into the characters' storylines.
My biggest gripe is that this story is kinda forgettable. I don't really have anything bad to say about it, but I don't really have anything that I love about it either. All the characters have very specific, sterotypical roles, not a necessarily bad thing, but none of them "wow-ed" me. They just really didn't get me 100% invested. I could tell that thought went into the story arc, thought meant to make the storyline appealing to readers, but it also was very, for lack of a better term, boring. I've read versions of that storyline many times.
I just don't have anything really to say, the whole package just has a certain "meh" quality to it. I would have like to see some better developed conflict, character strife?! In my opinion this one just lacked something to make it unique. The romance was sweet, but predictable. The villian was kind of tame. The ending could be seen from a mile away. Even with all its faults, I still enjoyed it. I still think this one will appeal to a lot of readers out there who are fans of paranormal romance.

2.5/5 - I wish we could give 1/2 points on Goodreads!
So I have mixed feelings about this book. It has an interesting premise - the idea of reapers and how they are treated in the story is pretty fascinating. I liked most of the characters. But I just could not get behind Audra our heroine. She was pretty bratty in my eyes, and when I found out how old she was I was shocked - she seemed like she would be much more at home in a YA novel than as a 30-year-old romance novel heroine.
Dimitri was much more complex and interesting, and as a hero I enjoyed his bits of the book. I think I would have preferred the story from his point of view, actually. He didn't annoy me nearly as much as Audra did.
Gaylan as the bad guy was pretty convincing. He had a bit of a tendency to monologue, but his justification made perfect sense to me (which may not be good for my general state of mind....)
But goodness, Audra! Did you have to whine and moan constantly about how unfair death is?
One quick formatting note - one personal pet peeve I have about some ebooks is the inclusion of page numbers. Ever ereader is different, and depending on your personal screen, the pages will not always match what the author envisioned. So please, don't put page numbers in ebooks. Because when a number ends up in the middle of a sentence (or in one memorable occasion, the middle of a hyphenated word), it is quite distracting for the reader.

I received this book from the author in exchange of a honest review. And here I am, only a few minutes after I finished the book, ready to relay my opinion.
I admit there were some parts of the book I couldn't get myself to concentrate on. And some parts, especially where Audra was involved, that annoyed the hell out of me. God, that woman is a pain in the butt! Always complaining and blaming others for her own choices! Couldn't stand her for most of the time.
That's about all the things I didn't like.
Let's get to the positive ones.
First of all, Dimitri. Sexy as hell (no pun intended!) and very sweet and protective and caring. How not to love him?
Second, the steamy scenes with Audra and Dimitri. That was VERY hot! Dammit, I almost melted in my own pants!
I also liked Cassie a lot. Awesome girl!
Sadie too is a cute little girl. Lovely!
Gaylen was.... well.. The Bad Guy. One of the worst. Followed by Veronica and Scott.
Wilton... he was so creepy, I had multiple shudders at one point in the book. I think I rarely ever had that reaction when reading a book. That character gave me the creeps just thinking of what he'd done. Even now.
At least, in the end, justice was done.
And about the ending... that was WOW!!!
To sum it up, a very nice book! Maybe not 4 full stars, but 3.75 for sure.
Recommended if you like suspence, action, Reapers, romance, some sexy steam and sweat on your skin, and some mystery (not too tangled though).

I am writing this review minutes after finishing this book and i actually have tears of joy!
I really enjoyed this story, even though this story contains violence, murder, death and betrail, what i loved about the story is the hope, the fight for love, compassion, passion and loyalty.
The relationship and sexual tension that builds between the main characters will keep you hooked.
The story is about Audra, a divorced nurse, who's aim to save lifes has been a strong facter since her mum died when she was a child.
After a near death experience she can see reapers - especially Dimitri and Gaylen, two completely different 'light and dark' reapers that have different intensions for the souls they take.
Dimitri and Gaylen have been aware of Audra since she was a child when her mother died. And now they are both aware she can see them, this puts Audra's life and those of the people she love in danger.
Dimitri and Gaylen have been around for hundrens of years, knowing each other in the living years, there is tension and rivalry between the two and now they fight over Audra.
This story will keep you on the edge of your seat and you will not be able to this fantastic book down, written in different person protagonists, it gives you differenct insight to the story and is done is away that flows beautifully from one person to another.
Alicia's writing style is brilliant and she is a tallented writter, I will definitly read more of her work.

I was really interested in this book. I like the premise of reapers and there was an intriguing mix of stuff going on. The problems for me were several, though. Audra was sometimes really annoying--much younger than her years, especially for a nurse. I say that, because even though there's a backstory to why she's so angry about death, she's still a nurse and works with patients who are clearly frequently terminal. She should have adjusted to its existence at some point.
There were a lot of things going on in the novel. And while I thought that they made the plot and motivations work, there just wasn't room in the novel to do them justice. A lot of stuff just happened too fast and without enough foundation.
I'm a bit creeped out by Dimitri. At least the part where he's been following her since she was a child and falling in love with her all the while. It's so . . . well, makes me feel a little nauseous really. Even though his character was pretty well-written.
In the end, this book just didn't do it for me overall. I wanted to know more about the reapers and I thought it awfully convenient that one could suddenly become human. And speaking of human, reapers were formerly human, so why are they called inhuman now? I mean, is the physical body all that makes a human human?
Okay, apologies. I have a bad headache and am clearly getting obnoxious. I'll go away now.

Ever pictured the Grim Reaper? I have, and it sure never looked anything like the reapers Alicia Dean creates in SOUL SEDUCER! Dean's reapers are human-like in appearance and action...except for the part where they can suck the life out of the living. (Real people can't do that.) :-) But Dean's reapers WERE real people who, after passing on, were assigned the task of helping other mortals cross the threshold from life to death. And just like real people, some are very, very bad, some are very, very good, and some are a mix of both.
Every time I read an Alicia Dean book, I'm amazed at the level of creativity she brings to her characters and plots, and I just keep reading to find what the next page will reveal! SOUL SEDUCER didn't disappoint...although it did leave me with a few visions of phantom entities lurking in the shadows, prepared to pounce, whether I'm ready or not!
And if that wasn't enough, there's a great love story thrown in the mix that satisfied the romantic in me.
Terrific read.

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
I really liked Alicia spin on the reaper world and how they exist. Their existence on parallel plane to us and working to redeem themselves to earn peace.
I would have liked the book more if I had connected with the main character Audra more. I know that she cares about the people around her but I did not feel it from her. I understood and connected with the reapers more than the humans in this story.
I wanted Dimitry to win Audra, but I did not really feel that Audra deserved his love and devotion. Several spots the humans did a bi-polar rant and then switched back. Brent when he said the cruel things to Audra about coveting Sadie then switched back to Mr. Nice. Audra did it several times with Dimitry.
I liked Cassie and liked having her character around to help Audra understand the reaper world better.
Overall I liked the book, and enjoyed the several story lines that were intertwined.

I would like to thank Alicia and R2R for the opportunity to read and review this book.
I only gave 4 stars as it took a little while for me to get into the characters after such an explosive start, but boy when i did i could not put it down. One of the biggest things for me is the preconception that white is good and black is bad but with this book oh how the opposite applies. I must admit i didn't like Gaylen from the start so was glad he was a baddie.
I loved the message that i got from this book about mending past failures to do good and loved the whole reaper story, was so sad when she betrayed dimitri and cried like a baby when he got what he had always wanted for saving the day, I was so sad for Audra and did not see that ending at all wow i really dint know quite how to feel at the end except I WANT MORE!!!!!!!!!. I would like to see Samuel and the totally adorable Cassie get together sooo more please

Well what can I say??? Ummmm fanfrickentastasic!!!! Thank you so much for giving a whole new spin about reapers and bonus pretty hot ones even though one might be really creepy(: lol
I loved the story and was thrown into the torment and angst of Audra and her deaths she had to witness and go thru of colleagues and family.
Dimitri can be my reaper any day, and to know he loved her since she was young it all made sense in the end.
Twists and turns at every corner and even made me jump a few times.
Hotness off the scale you can just feel what they are going thru and the frustration of not being able to touch. Yummooo!
I hope you write more of these types of stories for us and I will remember this book for awhile(: off to download more of your books!
Thanks also to R2R for another book to review! Keep them coming!!!

I’m going with a generous 2.5stars.
A free copy was provided to me in exchange for an honest review. As soon as we start we’re introduced to Good Samaritan & RN Audra Greyson as she is being beaten senseless in an alley. Audra is conscious enough to recognize two figures arguing nearby. Despite this emotional & graphic opening I never connected with any of the characters and especially Audra. Everything promised is delivered, but was much too busy to get me invested. Overall I was disappointed, I wanted to like this book so much more than I did. IMHO, this would be a much better read with a tighter story; fewer plotlines to follow and; toning down the female lead (she is too abrasive and stubborn making her come off as strident. What's here is good, but felt choppy due to so much going on.

I had pretty high hopes that this book would be something original - it involved a supernatural race that is quite rare in urban fantasy, and a character with an occupation that is rarely featured in the genre.
Most of the book was completely predictable though - I really wanted there to be a twist that would keep the plot going, but instead, Audra's dilemma about who to trust dragged on and on and on, and there wasn't really much depth to her character or her relationships.
The only real redeeming feature in the story was Audra's relationship with her gay ex-husband. There, the characterization really had depth and novelty and I wanted to read more of it. Cassie was also a very well written character. The scenes at the end between Audra and Dimitri were also cute. Aside from that, most of the characters were boring and predictable.

3.5 Audra is a nurse in a small community in Oklahoma. Apparently she has a rare gift that allows her to see reapers. Two of them are obsessed with her one loves her the other is evil and wants to bind her to him for eternity. The evil one Galen starts killing people close to Audra to try to scare her into letting him have her soul. Audra and Dimitri ( the reaper who loves her) do everything they can to stop him. But will it be enough to win and if so how can a reaper and a human be together? A unique world and a good story the dialogue was a little flat at times and is the only thing that held me back from giving it a 4.

Review of Soul Seducer
Soul Seducer was an excellent book! I was immediately drawn in by the characters and the plot. At one time or another we’ve all experienced a loss of some kind or other. I think it was the commonality that gave the story an emotional impact. I especially liked Dimitri and Gaylen and that age old battle between good versus evil.
Ms. Dean did a fine job in bringing such well written characters to the page. I look forward with great interest to the future works of this talented author.

Soul Seducer was a great read! There was a few parts that had got on my nerves!
Audra.. she was annoying and blaming others! never owning up to her mistakes. She realy ticked me off alot! But for the things that I liked, Dimitri (hot hot hot) who is very supportive and protective ! The hook up scenes were really HOT!! and whats not to like about that right! The book had it good guys and bad! Reapers,and steamy romance!!! All in all it was a good read! I would recommend it!
Looking foward to more from Alicia Dean!

I really liked this book. It was well written and the characters were well devoloped. The story was a love story/struggle between humans and non humans.
The story starts out where Audra , a RN is beaten and has a near death experience. Durning this time 2 reapers apear and she can see them. Well she lives through the experience but finds out she can continue to see them. Both reapers want Audra but for 2 very different reasons.
The pace of the story was very good and I never felt myself losing intrest in story.

When I started Soul Seducer the concept made me think of one of my favorite movies, City of Angels--so I was immediately drawn in. Although Soul Seducer had more of a love triangle going on and a bit more creepiness to the reapers. But I like creepiness and loved the reapers! The pace and flow of the story was done well by the author, leading me to turn the page to find out what might happen next as Audra endures crisis after crisis with strength and determination. The story had a satisfying resolution while still leaving the possiblity open for a continuing story. I enjoyed it!
August 16, 2012
Alicia Dean tells a story that couldn't happen, yet it does. I found myself liking the reapers in her story more than Audra's normal friends. Mostly because they brought a perspective to life that humans can't. I guess doing a job for hundreds of years will do that. Yet, like the rest of us, reapers are motivated by emotions we can only call human, jealousy, anger, and, even, love.
Love Soul Seducer and looking forward to reading more from this talented author.

The Soul Seducer will do just that...seduce you. The premise is refreshingly unique in the paranormal romance genre. Who would have ever considered a grim reaper as sexy? I didn't want to put the book down and when it was finished I was completely satisfied with the way the story was told and the outcome for all the characters. If you like paranormal romance with a touch of suspense, than this is a book you will fall in love with.

I received this book as an R2R from the author in exchange for a summarized and honest review.
The idea of Reapers caught my interest, however, after reading the book, I felt that something was missing. I found that the book was incomplete close to the end, which was quite disappointing since I enjoyed reading it, up until the final chapters. The ending was not believable enough, somewhat simple, which may leave other readers hanging on a string.

What a compelling story! Angels of Death: good or evil? They come to take the soul, she tries to save them. She has to decide if she's willing to risk her own soul to save her friends. Alicia Dean draws the reader in with this intriguing premise. I enjoyed this book.
October 27, 2012
I enjoyed this book. The story kept me interested through the whole book.
I didn't feel as much of a connection with Audra as I did with the reapers. I really enjoyed Cassie and would like to see more of her.
Thank you for the good read, Alicia. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

I received it from the author as an R2R so I really wanted to like it. Although the story was intertesting, I wasn't invested in the characters at all. I picked it up severaal times, read a bit and never went back to it till I forced myself to read.
