Supernatural Suckers #3
The Afterlife's Most Anxious Reaper
One rookie reaper. One reckless daredevil. Zero chance of this going by the book.
Fresh out of training, Greg has high hopes for his very first solo job as a reaper. That is, until his target—a BASE-jumping adrenaline junkie named Dustin—survives a fatal accident, dusts himself off, and walks away with an infuriating smile.
Convinced it's a cosmic clerical error, Greg takes matters into his own hands. Soon he's tampering with gear, cutting parachute cords, and maybe (but not technically) trying to murder a man who treats Greg's polite requests to “please die already” as some kind of joke.
At first, Dustin figures the anxious guy with the clipboard is just an overeager fan with dark humor. Odd, but cute.
Then he realizes no one else can see him.
Then he catches him walking through a wall—right after sabotaging his parachute.
Unhinged cosplayer or Death himself, Dustin doesn't care.
No one touches his parachute.
If Greg wants to interfere with his life, Dustin's more than happy to return the favor. Not only is he going to survive, he’s going to save everyone else on Greg’s list.
After all, if Greg wanted an easy target, he shouldn't have picked someone who flirts with death for a living.

~4.5~
The adorable cover and cutesy title belie the depth and poignancy of this story, which is hands down my favorite of the three books in this series thus far (although I've enjoyed them all).
Greg is a reaper who cares too much about human feelings. Dustin, who lost his twin brother two years ago, has a death wish. Greg is supposed to collect Dustin's soul, but Dustin appears to be invincible and won't cooperate.
What's a reaper to do?
Follow Dustin everywhere, meet his mother, kiss his target, make a pact with a demon, fall in love ... obviously.
I wanted to snuggle Greg under three fuzzy blankets and never let him go. The burger scene at the diner, the spicy (but not really) chili, Greg's friend and fellow reaper Valerie wanting all the deets, that damn clipboard Greg carried everywhere, all laugh out loud funny, and yet ...
I cried reading this book, like full-on weeping. A barely mentioned secondary character dying in a hospital alone pushed me over the edge.
The Afterlife's Most Anxious Reaper is a romance reminiscent of the Chinese (Taioist) philosophy that speaks to the Red Thread of Fate, harkening to an invisible cord tied around those destined to meet.
There's enough steam to seal the deal, but I really appreciated the author's restraint.
P.S. Like the other books in the series, this one can be read as a standalone.

So you get sent here to collect lives, all while not understanding what makes a life worth living.
We were made to escort people through the door. We were never supposed to understand what it costs the people standing on the other side.

They watched humans fight and grieve and love and lose and they filed it away and they never once understood why someone would hold on so hard to something that was always going to end.

This read was as cute as its cover. You can surely judge this book by the cover. Easy 5 star read, so fucking adorable ☺️ .
Book 1 completely won me over. Book 2 was good, but my expectations were ridiculously high after Book 1, so it didn’t hit quite the same. I picked up Book 3 because so many people kept saying it was their favorite, and now I get it.
I had such a good time with this one.
One thing I love about this series is that it keeps giving us the same dynamic in different flavors: one nervous boy and one tougher, more confident boy. But what I appreciate is that the “tough” one is never the asshole. Dustin is reckless, stubborn, fearless, and but he’s never mean. He’s actually kind of wonderful.
And honestly? The more I learned about him, the more I liked him.
He’s still grieving his twin brother Tyler. They used to be daredevils together, chasing adrenaline and doing all sorts of ridiculous things. Tyler is gone, and instead of slowing down, Dustin seems determined to go even harder. Like he’s got something to prove. Like stopping would mean admitting he’s been left behind.
Then enters Greg.
Poor Greg.
Greg is a nervous wreck. It’s his first solo assignment as a reaper, everything immediately starts going wrong, his target refuses to die, and somehow Dustin can see him. The entire situation is chaotic in the funniest possible way.
The book is hilarious, but it also sneaks in these surprisingly emotional moments when you least expect them.
And can we talk about the fact that I looked up and realized I was at 97% and these two were still taking their sweet time getting together?
I was genuinely panicking.
There had been some kissing, some fooling around, lots of chemistry, and I was sitting there thinking, “Excuse me, we are running out of pages.”
The spice is definitely on the lighter side, and yes, I could have used more. Not because the book needed it, but because Greg and Dustin were so ridiculously cute together that I simply wanted more of them. More flirting. More relationship. More everything.
Also, the next book.
PLEASE tell me it’s Tyler.
I know it’s supposed to involve a ghost, and after all the little hints we got here, I am desperately hoping it’s Tyler. Every time Dustin talked about him, I got sad all over again. The love he still has for his brother is woven through this entire story, and it made me want a happy ending for Tyler almost as much as I wanted one for Greg and Dustin.
So yes. Cute. Funny. Chaotic. Emotional when it needed to be. Impossible to put down.

This was super cute.

Notes I took while reading:
Never a fan of scenes repeated in different POVs. It was short, but seeing Dustin and Greg talk for the first time at the club through both their POVs was annoying.
Besides that, Greg was endearing. I liked that he was clearly empathetic and guilty over attempting to kill Dustin.
I didn't get it how nobody other than Dustin and Greg seemed to see Dustin hitting the ground at terminal velocity and just getting up? He's supposedly this super famous, sponsored thrill seeker and nobody was around to catch one of his sky dives? No crew or people to catch his landing? The pilot didn't watch or see his parachute floating off since it got cut? Very weird.
The blurb is wrong? It says that Dustin realizes that nobody can see Greg, then he sees Greg walk through a wall after sabotaging his parachute, but that's not how it goes on the story? First of all, Greg sabotages Dustin's parachute in secret WITHOUT Dustin realizing (and he doesn't walk through a wall after doing it). A chapter later, Dustin catches him in his hotel room, looking at the sabotaged gear and deduces that Greg was responsible and THEN he sees him run through a wall... There's also no "nobody can see him" realization from Dustin as far as I could remember. Was it written based on an earlier draft?
Dustin preventing the first death was fine because it played things straight. I liked that there wasn't any real animosity between him and Greg afterwards. The second death was super emotional and sweet. I liked that they were able to use that to show Dustin and Greg's differing views on life/death and still have them believably get closer and express attraction.
The third death felt like it put too much emphasis on Dustin's story rather than addressing the more pressing issue of Greg not collecting a soul that died. The story emphasizes that reapers are only to supposed to witness deaths and not participate (Greg doing so earlier was very much against the norm) AND the car crash happened as expected, so presumably the girl scheduled to die actually did die and Greg missed the window to collect her soul and was probably "lost" now. Why did the story choose to focus on the very mundane "Dustin gets his shoulder fixed" rather than explain what the hell a "lost" soul means? I did not agree with how the story made Greg choose to be with Dustin rather than worry about losing a soul. Him bringing Dustin to the hospital was fine, them having sex later was not. I get it was supposed to show him choosing love over his job BUT it shouldn't have happened like that considering how empathetic Greg was supposed to be to the recently deceased. It did not make sense for him to get lost in the throes of passion when he knew some poor girl he was responsible for guiding to a safe afterlife was just out there. As it is, him basically forgetting about Jessica's soul in favor of getting laid was so very OOC because I would've expected him to worry about her.
The story after that scene sort of felt like it was very intentionally ignoring the urgency of the situation. How could they have freaking sex when they acknowledged that they didn't have time to spare? Shouldn't they have focused on making a game plan to rather than indulge in each other's bodies? This was literally the same issue with Jessica.
The story making a big deal about Dustin supposedly not valuing his own life was an ok idea, but fails in practice because him having a death wish never really shows up in characterization. Yeah we know he's a thrill seeker, but him committing to the deadly stunt didn't hold any weight considering he knew something was keeping him from dying AND it's only mentioned with barely any scenes supporting the idea that he was going to go through with it (most of the planning happened off screen). The book should've had more scenes where Dustin was actively putting his life in danger for selfish/non-important reasons to show how he didn't care about his life + show how that callousness affected people who cared about him. We get a bit of that with his relationship with his mom and his manager in a phone call, but it's not enough to really make that one scene where actually feel meaningful.
Greg similarly falls flat because he'd spent nearly the entire book doing things contrary to what a reaper was supposed to do, so it didn't really seem like it was all that important to him. It would've been a stronger moment if Greg hadn't been a completely new reaper and instead was a more experienced one who was using the systems to find comfort because then the status of being a reaper would've actually held weight. As it is, Greg's already barely one throughout the story, so him .
The ending was fine, but since it was trying to be an emotional payoff to all of these underdeveloped ideas, it unfortunately just ended up making me feel sad for the unreached potential.
TL;DR: Story has good ideas and decent setup, but doesn't really go far enough with them. I wanted more individual development and focus on Greg and Dustin's characters and problems so that when they did end up , it felt like a proper payoff. Still an ok story, but probably would've benefited from focusing on one POV and going in deep with that rather than doing both and not doing either justice. 2.5 stars (rounded up because I wasn't so bothered that I DNFed, though the double inappropriate sex scenes plus the inconsistencies with the blurb almost got me to)

I'm obsessed with this series.
This was another very funny one, the contrast between the straight laced, golden retriever reaper and the wild, doesn't-know-self-preservation human was great.
Now I'll have to way until Halloween for the next one...

Jessica’s soul is going to be wondering the earth lost forever because this “sympathetic” reaper chose to get laid instead of doing his job and I am supposed to root for his happiness because?
I think this book should’ve been two smaller books in different genres. It tried to deal with serious themes such as grief, death, guilt, and self harming behavior while at the same time having rom com sexy times and ice cream dates. In this particular case, it just didn’t work for me.
I don’t care about Greg choosing Dustin over his work when his job is to guide a current soul into the afterlife. That’s not a declaration of love, it’s selfishness. Imagine an ER doctor leaving a trauma patient on the operating table to help the dislocated shoulder of the love of his life and then have sex with him. But see! He chose to help the man he loves over his job. I guess I am just in the minority that does not find that romantic in the least.
If Valerie hadn’t “conveniently” found Jessica, Greg wouldn’t have cared in the least about her lost soul. I just don’t care about a character that is that level of “di**matised” finding a happy ending.
Dustin was extremely selfish and flawed from the start and didn’t show any real personal growth by the end. I wish the inflatable duck would’ve done its job at the beginning of this book…

💘 Dustin + Greg
Okay, babes...
I loved it. Not a surprise since I'm obsessed with this whole series so far, but I loved it.
Greg was the CUTEST. The burger. The ice cream. The chili. Just the absolute most adorable nonhuman ever.
Dustin was also amazing. A grief-stricken man testing the limits of life. He broke my heart but it all made sense. I just adored how he fell for Greg. He saw a bumbling, clipboard holding little nerd and fell hard.
I loved how Dustin called his little reaper 'sunshine.' This entire story focused on a man who's supposed to die and a man who has never lived. They helped each other so naturally. Truly a beautiful romance that was low on the spice but heavy on the emotions.
And I can't WAIT for the next one.

The best book in the series by far !! It’s like if Dead Like Me, The Good Place & a Destiel fanfic had a baby !
Such feel good plot, adorable pairing. Conflict outside the paring which I always prefer. Fun fun read all around !!

This had no business being so wholesome!
As a fan of the series, I’m not surprised I absolutely enjoyed the audiobook, but this one also managed to get me all in my feels and will probably become my favorite so far.
Dustin and Greg were everything to/for each other! 🥹There are parts of me that related deeply to Dustin, so it should come as no surprise that we both love Greg’s quirkiness so much.
My sweet baby Greg 🥹- he just wanted to relate, understand, and help humankind, effectively making him the worst reaper in existence! 😂 And Dustin, the fiercely protective man who secretly just wanted to be loved, spent his life taking the biggest risks while subconsciously trying to punish himself for the previous loss in his family. How can you not love them?🥹
In this authors typical signature, this listen had everything: humor, banter, candor, and a lot of emotional moments. I particularly appreciated how the author approached heavy yet deeply human topics like loss and grief, while still maintaining a totally enjoyable reading experience.
The narrator did a wonderful job bringing both characters to life, so I’ll definitely be looking forward to more ALC opportunities in the future.

Don’t let the title or cover deceive you - this was an excellent plot story with very intriguing characters! I can’t wait for the next book in the series! Highly recommend. The audible was great too - John Solo nailed it.

not bad, but not great either—just an okay read. i enjoyed it while it lasted, but i wasn’t mind-blown and i won’t think about this book ever again.

The Afterlife’s Most Anxious Reaper by Silvana Falcon is a charming and unexpectedly touching paranormal romance about a man who no longer particularly cares whether he survives and a reaper who has witnessed death for decades without truly understanding what makes life precious.
Greg has spent his entire existence training to shepherd human souls into the afterlife. He understands death as procedure: an appointed time and place, and a clipboard full of instructions. What he does not understand is life. His first solo assignment is supposed to be Dustin, a BASE jumper and professional daredevil who survives both his scheduled death and Greg’s attempts to correct what appears to be a cosmic administrative error.
There is something inherently satisfying about depicting the afterlife as a bureaucracy. What awaits us in death may be unknowable to the living, but apparently it still has officious micromanagers, KPIs and enough administrative red tape to make it seem depressingly human. Falcon uses that contrast well, particularly through Greg, bespectacled and dressed like an office clerk, whose clipboard-clutching anxiety makes him an appealing inversion of the traditional depiction of the robe-clad, dark omen with associate with death. He is not an unfeeling presence arriving to cut a life short. He is earnest, deeply empathetic and so concerned with giving the dead a gentle transition that he appears fundamentally unsuited to the impersonal machinery of the afterlife.
That empathy is most on show during his collection of an elderly man dying alone in hospital. Greg’s usual bumbling uncertainty falls away as he comforts a frightened soul and steps fully into the purpose for which he was created. It is one of the emotional high points of the book, not because it says anything especially profound about death, but because it demonstrates the dignity Greg believes every person deserves at the end of their life.
Greg and Dustin’s attraction develops through the incomprehensibility each represents to the other. Greg is fascinated by a human who repeatedly enters death’s orbit in order to feel alive. Dustin is equally captivated by a supernatural being who finds burgers, milkshakes and other mundane experiences unbearably exciting. By introducing Greg to the ordinary pleasures of human life, Dustin begins to see the wonder of living through the eyes of someone experiencing it for the first time.
That reciprocity gives the romance its sweetest thematic idea. Greg cannot fully comprehend the weight of death until he is able to feel what it would mean to lose someone he loves, Dustin, rather than simply observe it. Dustin cannot recover his interest in life until Greg’s wonder reminds him that living consists of more than existing. Life is precious not merely because it is finite, but because love makes the cost of its ending tangible.
Their romance is compressed enough that the reader must surrender somewhat to its inevitability, and the erotic material remains tentative and peripheral. This largely suits Greg’s complete inexperience, with most of their chemistry instead emerging through flirting, proximity and the intimacy of Dustin introducing him to human life.
At more than 400 pages, the book somehow feels considerably shorter. This is less a compliment to its efficiency than an indication that the final act needed more space. Reconciliations, sacrifices and major supernatural revelations arrive in quick succession, with consequences resolved before they have entirely settled. I would happily have traded some of the earlier lightness for another fifty pages allowing those developments to breathe.
The Afterlife’s Most Anxious Reaper touches grief, mortality and self-destructive apathy without ever becoming particularly dark or demanding. The narrative stakes rarely feel urgent, the resolutions come quickly, and its philosophy of death remains familiar. Still, the humour does not trivialise the grief so much as make it bearable. Without the burgers, bureaucracy, supernatural office gossip and Greg’s mortifying discovery of the... ahem... physical side effects of human desire, this would have been a much grittier, less charming novel.
Greg has spent his entire existence training to shepherd human souls into the afterlife. He understands death as procedure: an appointed time and place, and a clipboard full of instructions. What he does not understand is life. His first solo assignment is supposed to be Dustin, a BASE jumper and professional daredevil who survives both his scheduled death and Greg’s attempts to correct what appears to be a cosmic administrative error.
There is something inherently satisfying about depicting the afterlife as a bureaucracy. What awaits us in death may be unknowable to the living, but apparently it still has officious micromanagers, KPIs and enough administrative red tape to make it seem depressingly human. Falcon uses that contrast well, particularly through Greg, bespectacled and dressed like an office clerk, whose clipboard-clutching anxiety makes him an appealing inversion of the traditional depiction of the robe-clad, dark omen with associate with death. He is not an unfeeling presence arriving to cut a life short. He is earnest, deeply empathetic and so concerned with giving the dead a gentle transition that he appears fundamentally unsuited to the impersonal machinery of the afterlife.
That empathy is most on show during his collection of an elderly man dying alone in hospital. Greg’s usual bumbling uncertainty falls away as he comforts a frightened soul and steps fully into the purpose for which he was created. It is one of the emotional high points of the book, not because it says anything especially profound about death, but because it demonstrates the dignity Greg believes every person deserves at the end of their life.

This is book is really hard for me to rate. It probably deserves better than a 3 star rating, but it felt kind of like a book with an identity crisis - part contemporary fiction and part romance. This duality left pieces from both aspects under-served.
Greg 💀Dustin
The aspects related to contemplating life, death, our purpose, and what makes life worth living were interesting topics and creatively explored using Greg as a reaper and Dustin as his subject who inexplicably can’t die. Dustin is grieving the loss of his younger brother, the resulting emotional separation from his mother and dealing with it by ignoring his feelings and catapulting himself into extreme ‘sports.’ Greg is tasked with figuring out why he can’t die and ‘fixing’ it. As he does this, he spends more time w Dustin and gets to really see and experience human life and emotions.
Greg, who has never before experienced human life, sees all that Dustin has and can’t imagine how he can so easily throw it away. But the exploration of all of this wasn’t explored deeply enough and there were inconsistencies with their motivations (e.g. the death of Jessica and how Greg ignored her soul to rush to Dustin) and so the ultimate payoff didn’t really resonate. Did Greg REALLY care about being a reaper? How could he if he neglects his duties to easily?
Same with the romantic angle - both are ultimately ready to die or give up their souls for the other, and yet their relationship doesn’t really carry any depth. Why does Dustin love Greg? And does Dustin really want him to live with him at the end? Could Greg have loved ANY human who showed him the joys of life? I didn’t feel any real passion between the two of them. Affection and humor, yes. Passion? I don’t know.
❤️ No third act breakup
🗣️No deliberate miscommunication
🌶️Spice - starts in the 2nd half and is fine. Open door.
➡️Gentle new reaper who takes his job seriously and believes he’s doing a meaningful service and a reckless thrill seeker, who is deeply grieving
🫣No OM/OW. Apparently, Dustin is bi. There’s mention of a prior hookup who was female and no hesitation in his attraction to Greg. Greg isn’t human and has never been w anyone. He’s puzzled initially by his feelings for Dustin.
🏠Greg has no family, just acquaintances; Dustin has his mom, who clearly loves him but they’ve become estranged
👥Dual POV; HEA.
So, I would recommend this story for anyone looking for something a little different. There are reapers, deals w a demon, guardian angels, etc. There is a lot of heart, humor, and so much joy in the small things that make life special - ice cream, milkshakes, hamburgers, someone gently wiping your face, and kisses.
Lastly, I had hesitated to read this one, because the prior book in the series had a whole weird side story that I was afraid would be present in this third book. It’s not!! So, don’t let that hold you back. This book is a fully stand alone story.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had literally the best time reading the first three books in this series and will 100% keep reading them as they come. Cause they are just FUN!!!
This book however, confused my emotions whilst reading. lol one second I was laughing out loud, kicking my feet and the next I was crying. (Mind you I cry in every book because I am emotional, sue me)
But really tho, this book was very emotional. Since our dear MMC Greg is a reaper, this book deals with a lot of death and the final moments at the end of someone’s life. As well as grief and life as a whole and these are all heavy topics. That being said, the author handles them well and in a way that really gets you thinking about how you live your own life.
Dustin really surprised me as a character. I won’t lie, I wasn’t sure about him or the whole premise of this story but it came through in the end. He is way deeper than he first comes across!
And Greg, man he is a sweetie! I adored him and his silly little clipboard! The man couldn’t lie to save his non-life but it made for some hilarious interactions.
The flirty banter is this book?!?! Whewwww🥵🥵 much more in your face than the first two books and I was absolutely here for it!
All in all, if you like MM Paranormal romances and are looking for something that’s fairly low on the spice scale without skimping on tension and yearning then give these a try! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed🤭

Review of advance copy received from Author
I want to thank the author for the ARC opportunity! I actually stumbled across this series randomly during a Stuff Your Kindle Day and completely fell in love with the world and characters. I’ve been waiting for this book since January, so the second I saw the ARC sign-up, I jumped at the chance to read it early.
And wow—it absolutely did not disappoint.
Greg and Dustin were everything. I loved their dynamic so much because it didn’t feel like a standard grumpy x sunshine pairing. Greg is a newly appointed grim reaper who genuinely loves life, loves people, and just wants to be the best reaper he can be. Meanwhile, Dustin is deeply jaded, weighed down by grief he refuses to confront, and honestly doesn’t care whether he lives or dies. Together, they are complete chaos in the best possible way.
One of my favorite things about this book was the way it handled death, dying, and the transition into the afterlife. It felt incredibly personal and real without losing the humor and heart that makes this series so special. Honestly, I hope when my time comes, someone like Greg is there to guide me through it.
The themes of grief, sacrifice, healing, and learning how to keep living after loss were handled beautifully. Watching Greg experience things for the first time was one of the absolute highlights for me—it was wholesome, adorable, and made me want him to have a million more new experiences. And seeing Dustin slowly work through his pain and begin to heal was incredibly satisfying.
That ending also perfectly set up the next Supernatural Sucker book, and now I’m already impatient to see where the series goes next!
ALSO. GIVE ME NOAH'S BOOK ALREADY. ;_;

We all know the trope, “I’d die for you,” but this latest installment of the Supernatural Suckers series answers the more important question of “but would you live for me?”
As someone who absolutely loves the TV Show Dead Like Me and the Switch game Have a Nice Death, I love that this novel incorporates the idea of death as a bureaucracy while talking about what it means to be alive.
The Afterlife’s Most Anxious Reaper is sweet, laugh-out-loud funny, and absolutely made me tear up in places. For a cozy novel, it deals with death and grief, but in a way that feels safe. Despite Greg only having a teaspoon of a soul, there is a ton of chemistry between Greg and Dustin. It was fun watching Greg literally come to life as he fell in love.
John Solo was a new-to-me narrator, and overall, I enjoyed the performance. He has a very storyteller voice/style, with great inflections and by leveraging different but natural-sounding voices for the characters vs. the story.

The Reaper's Challenge . . .
Field Reaper Grigoreth ("Greg") has finished his reaper training and is excited to be going on his first solo mission. His assignment is Dustin, a daredevil adrenaline junkie who risks his life "BASE jumping", an extreme sport where individuals parachute from fixed, low-altitude objects rather than from an airplane. He does this to not only earn money but for his own enjoyment. To Greg's surprise, Dustin survives his dangerous jump. But Greg won't give up easily, figuring that some other lethal accident will claim Dustin... so he follows him around. Even his boss' suggestions don't work. Determined to reap this soul, Greg starts to sabotage Dustin's equipment to hasten it along. When he goes after Dustin's parachute, Dustin decides to get even in a most peculiar way. Will he succeed with his plan? Or will their story take another direction? You will love this one, so grab your copy and dive right in (safely, of course).

This was slightly boring, I think that perhaps a little extra editing would have been beneficial. Anyway, Greg is reaper helping souls peacefully move on. Dustin is a daredevil skydiver or something like that. When his time comes…well nothing happens. Alive and well his life is pretty much intact. The two men continue to meet under crazy circumstances and slowly begin to like each other a little too much. The book was both funny and serious, because of the themes that dealt - grief, depression, putting yourself in danger, just to feel something. I think Dustin had become rather apathetic about his life. Greg reminds him why life is precious and fun. Anyway the last 100 pages the pace was off or maybe its me.

This book felt a bit darker than previous books since it’s on the theme of death. There’s still a humorous part of the plot with Greg being awkward and not knowing human experiences very well.
It’s a standalone despite being in a series. I have read previous books and really enjoyed them.
I liked the characters but I didn’t really connect with the story. I think it’s a me thing since the story was well written. I think many readers would like it since it’s emotional and Greg is a fun character.

Like all books in this series, this was absolutely adorable, but also incredibly philosophical which I wasn’t expecting. I have a soft spot for stories with fantasy creatures who discover humanity and find themselves in love with the concept (and with a human generally). I also have a soft spot for parents doing insane things because they don’t want to grieve their kids (I call that the Fringe effect). So with this book? I was fed.
June 30, 2026
This wasn’t my favorite of the series, but I liked it. My reading slump has been putting my fav authors through the wringer, I’m sorry besties. I probably would’ve loved this more if I hadn’t been battling one of the worst heartbreaks ever, but I still appreciated the humor and sweetness and family drama as I usually do. Even rereading my highlighted quotes hits different now, thank you author for writing about grief.
May 31, 2026
Cute , funny and easy to listen to i enjoyed it and i will definitely read more from this author. I like the Narrator I've listened to him before but I personally didn't think he was a match necessarily for the characters of this particular book.
May 31, 2026
I didnt enjoy this as much as i thought i would. The blurb made the story look very interesting, but it didnt deliver.
There was a lot of filler and romance was more of a subplot than the main plot.

I absolutely adored these two and their fumbling mess of a relationship 🥹🥰

I LOVED THIS! Perfect combo of cute, funny, and slightly sad 😭 I couldn't put it down.... Do I wish there was more at the end? Yes! It felt like once we reached the last like 20 pages everything wrapped up super quickly and abruptly. But, it was good enough that I am adding it to my favs

Surprisingly emotional. Well maybe not surprisingly? These deceptively fun looking books with the adorable illustrated covers include many moments of hilarity, true, but they also pack an emotional punch. And this one might have been the most emotional of the three for me. Or I just read it most recently, but, whatever…its theme of the value of life and the meaning of death moved me. This is book 3 of the Supernatural Suckers series; all books stand alone/feature new heroes, but there are some continuity elements that are even more fun if you have read the previous books. Noah, I’m looking at you.
Greg is a newly trained reaper ready to go on his first solo assignment…Dustin. A fearless extreme sports jumping junkie, whose latest jump is supposed to end in his death. Greg is there to collect and guide his soul to the afterlife, but…something is amiss! Dustin does not die. And…Dustin…can see Greg. No human should be able to see Greg!
Their meeting is adorably awkward and funny and painful for the shy yet determined Greg, who has no idea what just happened, but knows his boss will NOT be pleased at him failing his very first, supposedly simple, assignment.
Now Greg is tasked with fixing the issue. Dustin must die, lest the natural order of things be disturbed.
Seeing these two dance around each other, Greg apologetic but determined, Dustin exasperated then reluctantly…intrigued? Is fun!
But Dustin has so much baggage, and just doesn’t seem to care whether he lives or dies. But despite Greg’s efforts (warning…NOT COOL GREG! 😂) he can’t seem to die. Like...something is protecting him. He’s estranged from his mother, grieving for the loss of someone dear to him (we learn as we go), and determined to do every risky jump possible, earning sponsorship money and much influencer attention. And when he finds out a few of Greg’s next assignments and decides to interfere…well, the chaos snowballs! And Greg learns so much too. Wonderful.
Seeing these two entwine, become reluctant partners in figuring out what happened to make Dustin unkillable, and then…develop interest, feelings, friendship over Greg experiencing common human things…becoming necessary to each other….it is so sweet and moving and rewarding. I enjoyed the gentle relationship development, including scattered moments of intimacy and discovery, so much. Greg and his need to keep his tablet at hand…and what might happen to him without it, seeing Dustin panic as Greg nearly dissolves…so poignant. 🥰
The secret is big, and the solution is gut-wrenching. But with a little help from our favorite continuing secondary character in the series (yep, Noah fans, he’s here to help!)…everything comes right in the end. And I actually had tears in my eyes and heart for the resolution with Dustin’s mom, their mutual grief, and seeing Greg become part of their family. And the resolution for Greg and how that works out was 😘 so lovely and right!
Greg’s reaper woman reaper friend/secondary character whose name escapes me was funny and appeared at just the right times to sow doubt and then delight with some plot twists.
Only two gripes. One assumes Greg will remain ageless/as he is. Dustin will age and die. How we gonna work THAT one out, author??? I wanted an answer and didn’t see one. Did I miss it? And, I really wanted to know if the person who...helps Greg at one point...is who I thought it was. I'm not sure. I wanted some...something, some kind of interaction or sign, about the person Dustin is grieving.
HEA. Reaper and his first expected death turned true love. Extreme sports junkie. No OM action or drama at all, totally safe and lovely for me (brief mentions of Dustin having hookups in the past but NO specifics whatsoever. And Greg has never had ANY kind of physical experience with anyone as a reaper. All between them are firsts for him). Highly recommended, if this series sounds interesting, give it a chance. I enjoyed all three books so far.
My thanks to Booksprout and the author for the ARC; this is my free and impartial opinion.

A Brilliantly Entertaining Story & Listen🎧Captivating & Charming!
The Afterlife's Most Anxious Reaper
Supernatural Suckers, Book 3
By: Silvana Falcon
Narrated by: John Solo
Silvana Falcon does it again, penning another fabulous novel set in her absolutely amazing “Supernatural Suckers” series, and I loved everything about it. I was going to say this series keeps getting better and better, but that would not be fair to the earlier books, since each one is just as brilliant as the other. The stories are imaginative, with intriguing characters and storylines, witty dialogue and humor, and lots of heart. For her third book, Falcon brings us a reaper, Greg, a novice who heads out for his first assignment, Dustin. Dustin is an adrenaline junkie daredevil who gets paid for his stunts, and he is about to go on his last jump, and Greg is there to escort him into the light and complete his assignment. Except that doesn’t happen, he survives the fall and, thinking it was going to be something else that causes his death in the timeline provided, Dustin survives that mishap, too. Greg’s boss offered some suggestions, and Greg put them into action, but they were ineffective; Dustin was still alive. Complicating matters further was Dustin being about to see Greg when no human should have been able to. Such an amazing start to their story, a delightfully entertaining story that captivates your attention the entire time, and watching these two interact and get to know each other puts a smile on your face. The complexity and depth of these characters, their growth and development are remarkable. This masterfully crafted story multi-layered romantic comedy, and the writing, plot, and world-building are incredible. Another brilliantly entertaining story from Silvana Falcon, thank you for the laughter and the emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful audiobook listen and production performed by John Solo, who did an incredible job bringing the characters to life, giving each their own distinct voice, making it easy to follow along and tell who was who.

The Afterlife's Most Anxious Reaper
Supernatural Suckers, Book 3
By: Silvana Falcon
Narrated by: John Solo
Silvana Falcon does it again, penning another fabulous novel set in her absolutely amazing “Supernatural Suckers” series, and I loved everything about it. I was going to say this series keeps getting better and better, but that would not be fair to the earlier books, since each one is just as brilliant as the other. The stories are imaginative, with intriguing characters and storylines, witty dialogue and humor, and lots of heart. For her third book, Falcon brings us a reaper, Greg, a novice who heads out for his first assignment, Dustin. Dustin is an adrenaline junkie daredevil who gets paid for his stunts, and he is about to go on his last jump, and Greg is there to escort him into the light and complete his assignment. Except that doesn’t happen, he survives the fall and, thinking it was going to be something else that causes his death in the timeline provided, Dustin survives that mishap, too. Greg’s boss offered some suggestions, and Greg put them into action, but they were ineffective; Dustin was still alive. Complicating matters further was Dustin being about to see Greg when no human should have been able to. Such an amazing start to their story, a delightfully entertaining story that captivates your attention the entire time, and watching these two interact and get to know each other puts a smile on your face. The complexity and depth of these characters, their growth and development are remarkable. This masterfully crafted story multi-layered romantic comedy, and the writing, plot, and world-building are incredible. Another brilliantly entertaining story from Silvana Falcon, thank you for the laughter and the emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the wonderful audiobook listen and production performed by John Solo, who did an incredible job bringing the characters to life, giving each their own distinct voice, making it easy to follow along and tell who was who. He embodies his characters completely, grasping every facet of their personality, nailing each one perfectly, from the nerdy and sometimes bashful Greg to the confident daredevil Dustin, as well as all the side/secondary characters. His expressive delivery conveys all the characters’ emotions, and he handles the witty dialogue effortlessly, landing the humor and snark naturally.

Audiobook review

- supernatural workplace chaos
- “I want to do a good job but everything is going wrong”
- emotional depth hidden under humor
🎧 Narration Notes — John Solo
Let me just say it plainly: John Solo ATE this narration.
He is one of those narrators who can carry an entire book on his back and make it sound like a multicast duet even though it’s literally just him in the booth.
His range? Wild.
His timing? Surgical.
His emotional beats? Clean and intentional.
You feel the anxiousness in the reaper ...that jittery, earnest, “please let me get this right” energy.
You feel the confidence and stride in the other main character , that grounded presence that balances the chaos. His female voices? Spot‑on.
Every character sounds distinct, lived‑in, and consistent.
There were moments I genuinely forgot it was one man doing all the work. If John Solo is narrating, I’m automatically locked in. No hesitation.
💀✨ Plot & Story
This is Book 4 in a series I’ve been following from the beginning, and every time Silvana Falcon surprises me in the best way.
We’re following a reaper who has been training for years and finally gets his first solo mission… and it goes left immediately. He can’t collect the soul. He doesn’t know why. And from that moment on, he spirals into full “I’m failing at my job” mode.
His whole vibe is adorable ... anxious, uncertain, rule‑following, trying so hard to be good at something that keeps slipping out of his hands. Watching him navigate that insecurity while still pushing forward made him incredibly endearing.
The relationship between the two main characters blooms so naturally.
There’s warmth, tension, and a softness that sneaks up on you.
And this book?
It has more depth than the earlier installments. The plot behind why he couldn’t collect the soul is layered, surprising, and honestly one of my favorite reveals in the series so far.
The ending landed beautifully.
It felt right. And now I’m already anxious for the next book because this world just keeps getting richer.
⭐ Final Thoughts
This audiobook is absolutely worth the listen. John Solo elevates every moment, every emotion, every character. The story has heart, humor, and a surprising amount of depth. Book 4 proves this series still has so much to give and I’ll be right here waiting for the next one.

Review of advance copy
Sweet, funny, and surprisingly deep.
5 stars, heat level mostly steam but some open-door spice as well
Works well as a standalone even though it’s technically 3rd in the series (they’re all basically written that way).
I dove into this expecting a fairly lighthearted romp based on the blurb and cover. It definitely delivered on the fun parts (each time Greg discovered a new food was a *delight* 😂) but it doesn’t shy away from facing the weightier sides of the book’s main subject. While “Field Reaper Greg” is merely trying to check off his assigned to-do list, Dustin has thrown himself full-speed into the high-octane daredevil lifestyle to avoid facing the grief and loneliness left after his twin’s death.
While the main focus of the story is how Greg and Dustin come together—this is a romance, after all—it could only happen through them coming to fully understand each other, and that slow comprehension is where the book really shines. Greg’s wide-eyed discovery of human experiences keeps charming the jaded Dustin despite himself, and Greg’s guileless honesty forces Dustin to come to terms with all that he’s been running from.
Even with their developing relationship, however, none of it is easy and rightfully so—they’re each literally coming to terms with the value of life and how that weighs against the inevitability of it ending.
Despite the heaviness of the subject, the humor and their growing attachment to each other helps balance out the feeling of the book (although I still cried a couple times).
It will definitely be a while before I’m ready for a re-read, but I was absolutely satisfied with how everything wrapped up together, fully earned and worth the journey (100% more crying in the process, but so worth it).
That little teaser in the epilogue definitely has me curious too!
Absolutely recommended. A very strong addition to the series and I’m quite happy I now own a copy.
Disclaimer: I was given a free copy through BookSprouts in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own, but honestly, I’d have probably reviewed it anyway bc I just liked it that much.
