Marni (wonderwmn999) The group has been approached by author Cecilia Robert for a Read 4 Review of her book Reaper's Novice (Soul Collector, #1) by Cecilia Robert Reaper's Novice (Soul Collector #1).

17- year- old Ana Maria Tei’s life has always been perfect: loving parents, good grades, and a future so bright it outshone the sun. But now words like “separation” and “divorce” are sending her world plummeting to hell. Determined to keep her family intact, Ana plans a family-bonding trip from Vienna to Tuscany. Except fate has other plans. Ana’s parents and siblings are killed in a car accident on their way to pick Ana up from school.

Enter Grim, aka Ernest. He promises to relinquish the four souls if Ana agrees to trade her soul for theirs and serve a lifetime as his novice. In order for Ana to graduate from her Reaper’s Novice station to a Soul Collector graduate, Grim puts her to test. To her horror, she finds out becoming a Reaper’s Novice didn’t happen by chance. It was preordained, and she is forced to make a choice: save her family’s souls or come to terms with who she really is and complete the task set for her.


The author will be giving out 10 copies in epub, mobi and PDF formats via email. To request, please post your email address AND the format you would like. It is your responsibility to check for the book and download it. It is also your responsibility to contact me immediately if you do not receive the book or have a problem. In exchange for the free book, the author requests an honest review of her book not just on Goodreads, but also on Amazon USA, UK, and any of your blogs or reviewing sites. Once you are finished with your review and have posted it on Goodreads, you are REQUIRED to post your Goodreads link to it on this thread.

Even though this book is being gifted to you please do not share it with anyone. It is unethical, disrespectful and illegal to share books provided to you for reviews.

Further Info from the group, not the author: If you do not complete the e-book within the time given, and you do not post your link on this thread or I do not hear from you stating that you intend to finish and review the book, you will not be allowed to participate in future Read 4 Review events. This is to prevent people from getting complimentary books over and over without fulfilling their obligation.

Do not message me nor the author requesting the book. All info is to be posted here. This for the ease of the author and the mods and fairness to all. If you do not wish to share your email publicly, please do not request.

If there are any other authors looking to do this with our group, please message me. You MUST be willing to provide copies, free of charge, to the reviewers.

REVIEWERS: PLEASE read the topic titled "Reviewers." All the rules are listed under there. We will not allow any excuses of "I didn't know" because the rules are listed and if you have any questions you can always message me. http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

What format?


message 11: by Scott-robert (new)

Scott-robert Shenkman | 202 comments First off, I won't read a book like this. Way too depressing.

But - I'm not sure - and I'm curious because this book is considered YA - do parents really think it appropriate for their children to be reading about another child losing their entire family? Or for that child to be tormented/blackmailed by a supernatural creature that lives on death? And really, how many normal kids could survive having their entire families die and being left completely alone (because seriously and horrifically, teenagers commit suicide over a lot less).

Personally, I could never allow my son to read a book like this. I think it could prove to be psychologically damaging.

I'm just interested in opinions and I figured this was the place to ask.

Sorry Scott-Robert, but this really isn't the place to ask. This is something for the discussion boards, not the R4R board. I do suggest you bring this up as a topic under "Opinions." You would get more feedback and a good conversation with the points you are making.
