Synopsis: When a mortal wants someone dead, they contract a Reaper of Veltuur, an individual born from the underrealm with fatal magic coursing through their veins.
Sinisa is one of them.
For three years, she’s slain her targets dutifully with the aid of her crow familiar. She only needs one more kill to ascend as a Shade, a coveted status of power. And when the King of Oakfall requests a Reaper to execute his daughter for an unforgivable crime, Sinisa is first to volunteer for the job.
It should be easy.
But when the Prince of Oakfall discovers his sister is in danger, he flees the palace with her. Sinisa is left with only two options: journey through the mortal realm to find and slay her mark, or face the consequences of returning to the underrealm empty-handed. It's no choice at all. She has come too far and is too close to earning her title to let it be taken away from her now.
Besides, no one can outrun a Reaper of Veltuur.
Or can they...
Review: This book was amazing! I loved the unique concept of it and I loved the world building. The book was well written and the two POVs had very distinctive voices and I loved that one of the main characters had a speech impediment like me! I loved the character development as well, especially in Sinisa.
The only issue I had was that the pacing was very fast and the story is very short. I think the author could have fleshed out the story a bit more and maybe even broke the book into two parts, but the book was great how it was and I’m excited to see what happens in the second book!
Verdict: A great fantasy!
