The Reaper's Mate
This job. Boring is too colorful a word for it. I’ve been escorting humans to the afterlife for millennia. I’m over it. But when you’re the son of the two greatest reapers of all time, reaping is in your blood. My latest appointment is with one Annabelle Lyric, a twenty-eight year old New Orleans party planner. Snoozefest. But there is one bonus to this assignment: it’s Halloween night. In New Orleans. And she’s attending a posh party whilst unaware of her impending demise. I’ve been tasked with taking Annabelle’s soul right after the masked ball. The good news? I’ll fit right in with all the costumed partygoers. The bad news? That hits me when I realize Annabelle is much more than my next victim, she’s my fated mate.
Author's Note: This is a short novella of Halloween fun. It's smoking hot, spooky safe, and has a HEA.

Genre: Erotic Paranormal Romance
Type: Standalone novella
POV: First Person - Dual
Rating:
Mathieu (Matt) has been a grim reaper for eons. Too long that it had become a mundane routine. But his latest assignment proved to be the hardest one yet.
Annabelle Lyric had no idea her time was quickly running out. When a mysterious stranger offered help in time of need, she didn't think much of it. Until she found out she was his fated mate and he would do anything for them to stay together.
I don't read a lot of paranormal, and certainly never on grim reapers so this one is definitely an interesting one for me.
Matt was a sexy hulk of a man. He was highly alpha and intense. And most importantly passionate.
For a party planner who mingled with all sort of people, Annabelle was insecure. But Matt's attention gave her courage to believe in herself.
I like it when a paranormal book is of an immortal and a mortal. The forbidden element made it more interesting.
Mathieu's (yes I prefer his full name especially in throes of passion lol!) intensity translated well into the sex scenes. It's the headboard smashing kind of hot haha!
The ending was somewhat sweet and showed that love has no boundaries and even grim reapers could use someone by their side.

I haven’t spent the last several boring millennia escorting souls to the afterlife—many of them to their final, ultimate happiness—just to sit back and watch my happiness get stolen away.

The way he looks at me, his reverent touches—I’ve never been treated like this in my life.

“She's my mate, but she's fated to die.”
The Reaper's Mate is the perfect treat to get you in the mood for some Halloween lovin'! This smoking hot paranormal novella is full of passion, fantastic characters, and some serious dirty talking!
“Ride me, angel."Mathieu is a reaper. He spends his life ushering souls to the afterlife when their time on earth is up. He has never struggled with the task until he meets his next target. When he sets his sights on Annabelle, he realizes that she is his mate. He can't take her life when he has finally found the woman he is meant to have by his side.
“His grunts grow deeper and his cock hardens, preparing to empty inside me. I want his come so bad that I start to shake."Annabelle Lyric is busy at work hosting an upscale Halloween party when she meets Matt. Matt is quick to grab onto Annabelle and it doesn't take him long to get her between the sheets. Before Lyric knows what has hit her she and Matt have been plunged into the throws of passion. But the time is ticking and Lyric's time on this earth is coming to an end. Matt must fight to prove his love for her and great sacrifices must be made!
“He is everything to me. The reaper's mate.”
Told in dual POV, The Reaper's Mate is an absolute must read for anyone who enjoys a dirty talking hero with smoking-hot passion set in a unique fantasy world! The tempo of the writing is fast and the plot is full of action and romance. Celia Aaron knows how to turn the temperature up and this Paranormal novella certainly doesn't disappoint. Although this is currently a stand-alone, I am desperately hoping that Ms. Aaron will give us more!!!!

Just because everybody needs some loving and even the Grim Reaper can fall in love…
The first impression always counts.
When Mathieu really paid attention to Annabelle:
My hands drop, and body my stills. Annabelle’s aura blinds me for a moment. When my eyes finally adjust, I see an angel.
When Annabelle saw Mathieu for the first time:
In his black robes, he looks almost ethereal, as if Halloween is his night and everyone else is pretending.
Yes, This is a book about the Death himself who finally finds his true match. Unfortunately she has to die.
Their story is well written, it is sweet, it is funny and it is HOT HOT HOT.
Yes, I know this book is intended for Halloween day and not for the Valentine’s Day, but everyone deserves happiness.
Yes, I loved it. Obviously!

I love a hero who has no sense of personal space when it comes to his woman and can scare anyone away with just a look.
Just a shame it was so short.
February 24, 2017
A very nice paranormal romance story.
Honestly, I didn’t expect anything spectacular from this book given that it was a short story. But much to my surprise, I ended up liking it a lot! It was such a pleasant read. The characters were likeable and the pace was fast. There was also a nice plot twist that left me wanting more!
Mathieu was a reaper who was ordered to take Annabelle’s soul on Halloween night. He went straight to the party where his target was. But when he saw her, he felt a burning sensation flowing through his chest. Standing before him was his fated mate. After thousand years of loneliness, finally he found her.
As a reaper, he knew the consequences of failure to reap a soul. But Annabelle was his mate. He would neither claim her soul, nor let any of his reaper brethren take it.
However, since she was already fated to die that night, the other reaper was sent to complete Mathieu’s unfinished task. He had no choice but to fight his friend in order to protect the love of his life.
Overall, I did enjoy reading this book. I recommend this short story for anyone looking for a quick, hot, smutty read.

4.75 "total possession" stars
This fantasy novella was stunningly delicious.
Fast paced tempo of storytelling didnt rip off the sense of meaningful or substantial, the storyline holds all fronts of imaginative walls of a fantasy fable.
In fact it was quite fulfilling in romance, exchangable sweet/dirty talk and a total submission to true passion.
Total possession.
I've given him my utter submission,
and more than that, my heart.
He is everything to me.
The reaper's mate.
Short, sexy dominance...and pleasure
Fantastic!!!

3.5* Don't fear the reaper STARS!
My first time read a reaper story. Really? Yeah, I only know reaper in tv version in Supernatural and he is not attractive! He's an old man. But Celia Aaron gave us beautiful story for this Halloween. This isn't your kind of paranormal romance since it is a short story with non-drama conflicts.
I must say this story was really over-the-top but hey, this is all fantasy. We all know how vampire or werewolves find their mate. This reaper also found her. His eternal mate. Matt was really sure that Annabelle is his destiny. He found her in a Halloween party. I liked how playful Matt could be, but also he could be intense and dominating.
Their first met isn't easy. They're never know each other so Annabelle isn't the type who believes in paranormal world especially when Matt is really a reaper. I enjoyed their cat-and-mouse game. How Matt is all over Annabelle the entire night. Matt also determined to claim Annabelle as his mate and it was really HOT. I loved how possessive and protective Matt towards Annabelle.
I wish this isn't a novella because I really liked both of them. Matt and Annabelle are madly in love and they couldn't control their lust. Cough. The sex scenes were quite tame but still dirty and sane. Overall, it was a good and enjoyable read. Couldn't this Halloween be more hornier? LOL!

Great little read.
Mathieu Tobias Gindriel Halcyon Scythian is a reaper and has been for a millennia but tonight is Halloween and he's going to enjoy the time he's got before the reaping.
His target is twenty-eight year old party planner Annabelle and her glow is evident across the room but as he gets closer he notices something else, she's his mate, after all this time he's finally found his mate and she's human and due to die tonight.
What's a reaper to do?
I really enjoyed this book, it's short read at only 56 pages long and that's one of the reasons for the 3* but it's great and shows us that nothing gets between a reaper and his mate.

Reapers Mate is only the second novella I have read by Celia Aaron, but like it’s predecessor it was a really enjoyable, albeit quick read.
Annabelle Lyric, aspiring party planner, is a little shocked at the connection that immediately pulls her towards Mathieu Scythian, dressed as a Grim Reaper at the Halloween Party she is overseeing means he blends right in with the guests, but still… there is just something about the tall, sexy man with the intriguing eyes, that gets her girly-parts all of a quiver from their first meeting.
My cock demands I throw her down and claim her.
Matt is in a bit of a predicament, in that meeting his mate is all well and good, but not-so-much, when he is meant to be escorting her soul to the afterlife in a matter of hours. What’s a Reaper to do!
"We’re bound. I’m your fated mate."
As I said this was a quick read, but it was so sweet and sexy that I loved every minute of it. Matt with his dirty mouth, and massive… Scythe, wasn’t shy about taking Annabelle as quickly as he could get her horizontal, and I liked that the author shifted the balance of power between them, in the latter stages of their story.
"You are mine. I am yours."
Perfect Halloween reading, but don’t limit it to those parameters, Reapers Mate was the perfect treat, no tricks at all.

The setting is a Halloween party in the French Quarter, New Orleans. Mathieu Scythian is an immortal reaper tasked with taking the soul from his latest assignment’s demise. While trying to mingle with the humans playing dress up, Mathieu spots her and knows immediately that completing his job will be impossible due to a conflict.
Annabelle Lyric is the party planner for the night’s event. Fluttering around checking all the details, she is completely taken off guard when she runs into a brick wall by the name of Mathieu. Tall, cloaked and obsessed with her, at first she thinks this giant is a stalker of some sort but fate has other plans.
Mathieu “Matt” knows the meaning of what he is seeing but cannot believe Annabelle is his predestined mate, especially considering she is human. Feeling the urge from within, Matt must protect and claim her before the final hour strikes. Annabelle starts to feel this attraction to Matt is larger than she understands, but as they connect, sparks fly and a bond is forged but will it be strong enough to change the outcome?
In The Reaper’s Mate, Celia Aaron successfully delivers a paranormal tale of romance and fantasy. No matter the genre, Celia’s storytelling ability is effective and gripping and this novella is no different. Mathieu is such a likeable and drool worthy reaper with a heart, while Annabelle proves to be his adoring match. Additionally, I loved the creative take on the grim reaper and also enjoyed the moments between Matt and Gaius, which made me laugh. I highly recommend this novella for those who want a fun and hot read steeped in love, humor and sacrifice.

Loved this hero.
The way he was with the heroine.
The way he protected her against another reaper.
HFN ending with no babies. I'm sad about that..
No OW/OM drama.

Wow .. what did i just read???
I have never give a Novella 4 stars, but this one deserves it. SO MUCH!!
This was such a refreshing read, i have never ever read something like this in my life.
A Grim Reaper and a Human, whom he is assigned to kill!!
and guess what??
She is his mate, his soul-mate.
So, now how can he let her get killed and then take her soul away, which belonged to him??
If he denied his duties, then he'll be mortalized and be thrown form his duties of a grim-reaper.
The decision is difficult but yet easy, he have to claim her, and protect her no matter what.
He can't kill her, and won't let her been killed form anyother Reaper.
But she has to die to her assign time. What will happen now??
Well, i am not going to spoil this for you anymore,
You have to read it, to find what happened. I assure you.

'The Reaper's Mate' by Celia Aaron is the story of Annabelle and Mathieu.
Mathieu is a reaper come to take Annabelle at midnight but once he sees her he knows he can't do it as she is his mate. Annabelle is a party planner for the Halloween party and is finding 'Matt' really hot but he seems a little strange. We how their story plays out and what happens when Mathieu can't do what he has come to do in his reaper job. This was a really quick easy hot read!
"My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read."

The Reaper's Mate is a quick and filthy read that I quite enjoyed. I loved how big, burly, alpha and possessive the hero was. I admit I swooned and dreamy sighed over the hero but I also loved how feisty the heroine was. She was the perfect match for the hero.
If you're in the mood for a quick, dirty paranormal read look no further this book will satisfy that need.

Short and hot, Reaper's Mate was a great little Halloween read. I agree with other reviews that it would have made a great full length book. Safe from cheating or ow/om drama. Neither were virgins. The majority of the story was the course of one night. It had no epilogue and a HFN ending. If it wasn't for that, I would have given in 5 stars.

I always love reading about human heroine/paranormal hero :D
If only it had an epilogue :s but it was still very good <3

In anything written by Dickens,
It’s certain the plot always thickens;
With characters, themes
And digressions it teems
but the sex mighty slim pickin’s.
Though convoluted plots are true for Ms Aaron
You’ll find more snatches out for an airin’
many a dickens thickened for prickin’
and both of those eager for lickin’
Her story is ‘bout one of many Halloweens
This one staged in New Orleans
A man stalked a woman but he wasn’t a creeper
instead the hulk was the grim reaper
With his scythe being set to collect Annabelle Lyric
he found it was his heart that became euphoric
With one look he was obsessed with her curves
and wanted to eat her like a plate of h’ordeuvres
After dining on pussy and eating his fill
he still had a debt, the cost of dunking his dill
was to be the soul of pretty Ms Lyric
or a lifetime in hell that would be horrific
Be warned this man has a great giant stick
his business is death and he can spread doom
with a dirty word and a finger flick
you’ll scream RIP to your overzealous womb
My final note is a word to the undaunting
this one’ll separate your thighs,
it’s a plastic dickens you’ll be wanting
so keep batteries to cover the highs
And while you’re pole dancing
you ‘ll be forgiven for demanding
and to quote Mr Dickens, that thickens that bore
“Please sir, I want more”

Mathieu Scythian, or Matt for short, is a reaper who’s next soul-to-be-claimed is at a Halloween party in New Orleans. Matt heads there with hopes of playing with the humans a bit before getting down to business and claiming another soul for the afterlife. Matt’s always been dedicated to his job as a reaper but when Matt finally catches a glimpse of his angelic target his flawless record is in serious jeopardy.

Annabelle Lyric was in the midst of throwing a huge Halloween bash when she meets the mysterious Matt. She’s a little taken aback by his insistence that they not leave one another’s presence for the duration of the party but she can’t help but feel a pull to Matt. If learning about Matt’s origins doesn’t tear them apart nothing can, right?
Annabelle and Matt meet under impossible circumstances and try to change their inevitable outcome. This paranormal story was sweet, sexy, and I enjoyed reading about an interesting new paranormal creature. I’d never read a story about a reaper and Celia’s take on the supernatural “profession” was definitely intriguing and enjoyable.

4.5 Stars
Mathieu is a reaper, Annabelle is a party planner. Mathieu and Annabelle's connection is fated, her time is up, but the draw between them is too strong for Mathieu to ignore. The mortal woman is his mate and Matheiu must consider breaking his reaper vows for the woman he wants to devour.
I know, I'm just as shocked as you at this rating, but once you get into the idea of it being an erotic fantasy it is easy to ignore the improbability of the events and just enjoy the dirty smut that Celia Aaron is so well known for. Paranormal anything is not my cup of tea, but I love giving into the creepy stories over Halloween and the forbidden love between an immortal bringer of death and a mortal girl was good to pass up. I shouldn't admit this, but I loved Matt's strong personality and his one-track mind. He's as handsome as he is arrogant, but the intense way he cherished Annabelle was perfect. Short and very fast paced, The Reaper's Mate is a complete story, filled with the kind of romance you can only expect from an alpha reaper. It's surprisingly sweet and very steamy, filled with possessive passion.

4.7 - everything to me - stars
" The heat we share could put the sun to shame"
The Reaper's Mate by Celia Aaron is a short sexy paranormal story. It tells the story of Mathieu and Annabelle . A reaper and a party planner. Am immortal and simple human. A man and his mate.
" I should take my time with her, but my soul aches to embrace hers. Denying myself any longer is torture; I've waited eons for Annabelle. "
The moment Mat see Annabelle he knows she's his mate and he will do everything to save her and keep her with him forever. This story is not just a short story perfect for upcoming Halloween season. It's much more. It's a story of true love, choices and sacrifices one must make for love.
I loved Mathieu . For me he was a perfect mate - caring and possesive. She was his and his only!
He kisses back with so much emotion that I can't catch my breat. Goodbye heart."
Annabelle is a sweet girl - his angel and I liked her determination to come back to him.
This story was a pefect combination of PRN and sex! It was so hot that I needed my fan to keep cool. They together were so dirty and I loved it! Just the perfect story for a shhlut.
Thank you Celia for a couple of vera hot hours I spent with Mat!!!

This was a cute short story. I really liked the MCs and was thrilled with the insta-mate thing going on. That being said, I feel the author got herself into a quandary about how to resolve the plot since it was so final. I did not like that he was kept in the dark and suffering. I did not love the resolution. Girl power and all that, but it just did not work great for me.

We're bound. I'm your fated mate.
Mathieu (Matt) Scythian, eons old, is a reaper who is sent to claim Annabelle Lyric, a party planner of 28 years. When Matt meets Annabelle her mark burns into his skin around his heart area and Matt realises that he has met his mate. The one whose soul he is suppose to claim.
When Annabelle meets Matt, she is unconsciously drawn to him.
My nipples harden and tingle, and I wonder if I've somehow been roofied, though I haven't had a drink all night. It doesn't make sense, but I don't want to fight it. Instead, as I stare into his eyes, I want to give in
When tragedy strikes for these lovers and mates, help and solution comes from an unexpected source.
The story of Matt & Annabelle is told in dual POVs giving us both their thoughts about each other.
Reaper's Mate is a scorching hot and quick read. It's fabulous dirty and deliciously smut.
I especially loved the dirty-talking Matt did. Oh, hell I just loved reading it!!!
"Let me claim you. You'll see. You'll feel it when I'm moving inside you"

“She’s my mate, but she’s fated to die before the night is out.
~Mathieu
I know I said I didn’t want to sign up for new books especially if they’re about to get release fast enough that I can have them, but I can’t just pass this one up. Because the hero is a reaper of soul, and angel of death, a Shinigami.
I have read some and been fascinated of them. They work on a different culture and constraints compared to other paranormal beings. Moreover, I am obsessed with Death, not the passing of life per se, but a reaper I’ve been in love with. So this book is so much like a gift for me to appease me of my illusions that he could have a HEA of his own, with me, of course.
In his black robes, he looks almost ethereal, as if Halloween is his night and everyone else is just pretending.
Mathieu and Annabelle’s interaction are both funny and cute and so adorable that this short novella just made it for me. It has all the elements of things I like in my book: fast-paced, action, hot steamy scenes, a little humor and no drama.
That’s when I know I need to get away from him. The eyes, the darkness, the way he feels like a shot of opiates in my veins-no, no, and a big no.
Perfect for some Halloween read or some quickie. I just enjoyed and loved this story so much.
P.S. I love Matt. He made my love and hopes for Death come true. This shorty will hold a special place in my heart. Celia Aaron I love you and thank you so much for this!
P.P.S. If you've noticed, my blog as well as my email address has the stamp of the Angel of Death in it represented by Ryuk in the Death Note, a Shinigami.
“No, I never found the right guy to settle down with, but who needs one when they make all these amazing vibrating toys?”

There is a Reaper. There is a party planner.
She is his soulmate. He has to reap her soul.
This short read had the perfect kind of protective, sexy, dark alpha who falls for the girl he has to kill. Annabelle is a curvy, badass party planner who suddenly meets this tall, dark and handsome guy at the Halloween party she is organizing. He helps her out in a bind and then doesn't want to let go. She feels the strong pull towards him. And when he takes her, she forgets all senses.
Mathieu is ready to lose everything for his mate. Once he claims her, there is no going back. He promises her to keep her safe, protect her always and not let her die.
Clock is ticking. Read this book to find out what happens when its time for Anaabelle to die.
