Raven
All I wanted from my death is what I wasn’t given in life.
Revenge.
Revenge for those who wronged me, those I loved with my whole heart and who bore the seed of another. It wasn’t fair to me, to be poisoned and left for dead while they got to start a new life together. That new life, will know immeasurable pain at my hands. Through all lifetimes I will follow her and ensure she suffers for what her mother did.
The fruit of their deception.
Holly
Through all my lives I want to live, I’ve known no peace. When a light shines through the darkness it is quickly snatched away.
And I know he is near.
He has come for me again. I remember vaguely that he always comes for me.
A Reaper of Souls.
I don’t know why but I am drawn to him like a moth to a flame, ready for my own demise.
Fans of Dark Paranormal Romance will enjoy this twisted tale.

This story was intense and I LOVED it! Very angsty and had me constantly wanting to know what was going to happen next. There was just enough unpredictability in Raven's thoughts and feelings that I was never quite sure. Dark and fabulous!

this was something different

A short story about a reaper and Holly, loved there story. Wasn’t too fond of the ending though. Recommend if you like something a little different

These Enigma Society books!! They're all great! I loved the concept of this one. I don't want to say too much because it will spoil some of the twists. These books are not romance, so don't go into thinking everything is sunshine and rainbows at the end. This one sorta had an hea, if you want to call it that. Can't wait for the next one!!

This had potential obviously if it was a Poe retelling but it fell flat unfortunately. The author was able to successfully make the LMC vile and irredeemable. That was part of the problem. The author did such a good job of conveying how abusive and evil he was which became a problem at the end of the story. There was no way in this world you could have convinced me he was redeemable in the end. He showed the barest glimpses of remorse in only a couple of scenes. Then the idea that the h would forgive him because he took care of her in her past lives?!!!! She must have drank the Kool aide. That is the only explanation. In every single past lives, he tortured her and made her life miserable. I call utter bull shit. Such a shame to take a legendary author like Poe and do this to his work.
