Description

From the bestselling author of The Prison Healer trilogy comes a brand-new YA fantasy, perfect for fans of Lauren Roberts and Leigh Bardugo.

‘This year’s must-read YA fantasy’ – Rebecca Yarros, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing


NEVER BARGAIN WITH A REAPER.

The city of Aravell is in peril, plagued by a deadly blackmist that kills all it touches and reapers who roam the streets, leaving a trail of bodies in their wake.

Seventeen-year-old reaper hunter Viridia Solace has made it her life’s mission to capture their leader—the man who murdered her parents—but the notorious Reaper Priest has eluded the best hunters on Elverdine Isle for years.

Until now.

When the Priest’s right-hand man, Reeve Ashton, is captured, he offers Viri a chance to avenge her parents . . . for a price. She knows better than to bargain with a reaper, especially this one, but his offer is too good to resist.

Only, trusting Reeve comes with a heavy cost, and soon Viri risks losing everything . . . including her heart.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and Lynette Noni for the ARC.

Wow, I loved this just as much as the prison healer series!

The main thing I loved about this were the characters. Lynette Noni really has a talent for making not only a loveable and strong main character, but side characters too. They all had such life to them, I loved them all. (Walnut the rabbit will always be my favourite though)

The pacing in this was also great. It was steady, and kept my interest throughout. Another fabulous read by Lynette Noni, and I'm already looking forward to more.

Where to begin with?

First of all thank you NetGalley for providing me this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

My mind is still blowed out and I can’t still fully process wtf happend there 🤯🫨

I will do my best to start from the begining.

The world creation is so welcoming and not overwhelming at all. It’s all limited to an Island where the deadly mist is taking its toll. The only things that supress it from killing people and taking their ellixen - so called magic, are obelisks, treathen as wards - simple right?

Yea, so we have our girl Viri, an orphan who was trained and became a hunter. Her only goal is to seek and capture reapers - abominations along the people, who siphone ellixen from others - mainly children, to gain their power and killing them in a process. Viri has her own vendetta to fulfill, but when there is a bigger risk that overcome she has to ally with one of the repears - her ex-childhood friend, who looks like CAKE TO EAT RIGHT AWAY, Reeve.

They both began their mission, but the GHAZYLION secrets that both are trying to guard, are starting to sip away, making it sooooo interesting. The plot twist where twisting my gut almost all the time, and there was merely nothing I could predict. Author has made such an amazing job with the storyline. It was keeping me entertained and on the edge of psychosis all the time. I LOVE IT!

We have a simple found family trope, when everyone clicks right away, and despite their lack of trust at the begining, they all starting to bond while chasing the biggest threat.


Reeve on the other hand, was something else. When I did ADORE Jared from Prison Healer, Reeve has took his place in my heart and I do not mind at all. This guy is full of confident, some may say arrogant to the bone, but he knows his ways around Viri and he plays her heheh very well 😈🤭🥵🫨. I loved them both together, and moreover, I loved how simply they’ve started to trust each other.

God, I could takk about this book all the time, but the truth is, it is just something, that you have to read. Simple as that. READ THIS BOOK !

Absolute 5/5, it will defenetly reach my top tier of this year.
