Our favorite Reapers are back again and this time it is
Fintan's turn to be enamored with a halfling. He is amazed
by Catriona Hayes, who has no magic despite being half Fae,
but he finds he is drawn to her despite his closed
emotions. The last thing he dreams of is to make her the
DARK ALPHA'S LOVER. He had been betrayed enough in life and
would never again feel for anyone.
Cat's family members have been killed and she thinks she is
safe as she has no magic as they had, but her grandfather,
her last relative, has magic, so she must do everything she
can to keep him safe. She doesn't know why Fintan is
interested in her or why this Bran, the former Reaper
turned back guy, is trying so hard to entice her to do his
bidding. She's more human than Fae. Little does Cat know
that a secret has been kept from her all her life and that
she is in danger. But of all the surprises that come her
way, she is most surprised by the depth of her feelings for
the Reaper who seems bent on using her as a target but
finds he wants to protect her even more.
DARK ALPHA LOVER is exactly what fans of Donna Grant
expect -- fantastic, can't put it down read! The
characters Fintan and Catriona are well developed and both
hold a host of secrets that come out as the reader reads.
This gives us a chance to get to know them as they get to
know each other. We also get to look at Death and the
other Reapers from past (and "please" future) books as they
plan and discuss their war with the former Reaper, Bran. I
loved the twists that come into play as Bran thinks he has
the perfect plan against Death but instead he gets played. I
I like that little turn of events.
I can not conceive of the work that must go into a series
such as this one. Knowing that readers miss little in the
way of inconsistencies the writer must blend her past
characters with the new ones and their romance and trials
and keep it smooth. Even though the main characters of this
series (this is book #4) are working for Death, they are
interesting men (and later a woman) that have been betrayed
and killed with Death giving them a second chance as her
assassins. She (Death) has made mistakes through the years
years and Bran is the result of one major mistake, but her new
new Reapers are loyal and one is very worried, for it seems
Bran has been able to somehow drain her of some magic. And
I really can't wait to see what Ms. Grant does with that
particular Reaper and Death. Also Ms. Grant managed to
bring more of her Dragon Kings into the storyline by having
having the Reaper leader visit Con, letting the Kings know
what is going on. This just might add more to this fun and
provocative series. We do already have a Reaper following
Rhi around so this should be interesting.
If you love to read about the Fae, enjoy intrigue, some
good sword play and a sweet romance with just the right
amount of steam, though it does get a little turned around,
but manages to end with a welcome HEA then DARK ALPHA LOVER
is just what you need in your hands.
There is no escaping a Reaper. I am an elite assassin,
part of a brotherhood that only answers to Death. And
when Death says your time is up, I am coming for you...
I answer to no one but Death. I am impenetrable,
impervious, immortal. I exist to do Death's bidding and
no one--not Reaper nor human nor Fae--can stand in my
way. Except for the bewitching half-Fae, Catriona. She
swears the magic in her family passed her by, but I know
better. This woman is strong. This woman is powerful. And
when her abilities surge forth, no one will be able to
stop the Dark Fae from coming for her. Except for me. I
want to keep her close. I want to keep her safe. I want
lose myself to her, again and again...
