Reaper's Blood

The Grimm Brotherhood, Book 1

De: Kel Carpenter, Meg Anne

Narrado por: Hollie Jackson

I died for Hostess cupcakes.

I know. Tragic, right? Even worse, after I came back, I still didn't get any cupcakes.

What I did get, however, is a six-foot-something reaper with eyes like blue fire to guide me into the world of the supernatural. Which, as it turned out, wasn't quite like the fairy tales little girls are told growing up.

Not only is magic real, more importantly, so are monsters. And apparently, I'm one of them.

But I'm getting ahead of myself here. You see, four years ago, I left my hometown and swore to never come back.

Now, my brother is dead, and I have no choice but to go searching for answers. Except finding them isn't easy when the secret society he belonged to is covering it up. I have to find out who killed him while watching my own back, because if I'm not careful, I might be next - and this time, there's no do-over. Luckily for me, Mr. Single and Hot as F--k is determined to help me keep my ass alive.

I'm a lucky, lucky girl. Some days.

Contains mature themes.

Great narrator!

The story was really good and easy to fall into. What I didn't like was how she couldn't lie well. If that's the case, she can omit truth or deflect decently. For example when the sheep was about to be tossed in the fire, she could have said it's not your business instead of admitting what it was or how she got it. She could have said it was a gift from someone you wouldn't really know. Lastly she could have left that door open when she first got there and saw what was going on. Great story overall though.

Fun and funny

This story is very clever and creative but I think the narrator was what really made it great.

Cute and funny

This was better than I thought. Cute and fun listening. The narrator brings life to this.

Light fun listen

Great reader- fun sassy FMC now add magic and you've got a recommendation from me

Narrator was great

Loved the narrator. The story was great. And it was so funny in places. I literally laughed out loud during some scenes.

Fantastic start to a new series!

Really loved this! Excited for book two!

Salem is smart witty sarcastic and a total bad a$$! I love strong female main characters and she does not disappoint!

Another home run for this awesome duo of authors!

Loved the Story, I Didn't Love the Voice Actor's Twang

The story was a good story, with the usual cliffhanger for the next book. I found the southern twang of the voice actor very distracting. I don't plan to continue this series.

Fun grim reaper twist

Enjoyed this narration and story. Does end on a cliffhanger but worth a listen if you aren’t looking for spice.

A grave twist

I liked the story overall minus a few frustrating parts and left questions. The characters are strong and unfolding with the town providing ample evolution for this tale and others. Ends on a sensible cliffhanger as odd as that sounds; finality that leaves you wanting one more sugary treat like a hostess cupcake (wink). I’ll be listening to the second book and not regretting that choice as the story and dialogue are playful and quirky with a slow burn.

Characters/Great writing

It was funny, cute, and well written. I loved the narration...that southern accent made the book!
