Description
Prepare to bargain everything for the gothic romantasy of the year . . .
The penniless in Blackbridge only have two choices: sell your body, or sell your soul. And thanks to Eda Shaw, business is booming.
Indentured to a capricious demon, Mr Night, Eda and her brothers arrange illicit Pacts on his behalf, luring the city's most desperate into trading years of their lives for their deepest desires.
When a Pact goes awry, her brothers are arrested and Eda quickly realises she'll need an infernal ally of her own: Kit'rath, a demon with a curious penchant for humanity, and the only being in Blackbridge Mr Night seems to fear.
But Kit's help doesn't come cheap. Eda's already given him her soul; she can't afford to give him her heart.
Rich with gothic atmosphere, sharp wit, and simmering romantic tension, Reap & Sow is a fantasy debut and the first in a duology, perfect for fans of Rachel Gillig, Hannah Whitten, and Heather Fawcett.

This book has that chilling, eerie atmosphere. We’ve got dark gothic world-building, demons, sinister bargains, secrets, a cute romance, and somehow, against all odds, a found family that made me emotional.
The premise alone drew me in. Demons can grant you practically anything you want, but in return they take years from your lifespan to extend their own. The bargain can’t be undone unless you kill the demon involved, which is already horrifying enough. But then the story starts introducing loopholes and technicalities, which made the plot even more gripping.
Eda is exactly the kind of protagonist I love. She’s willing to sacrifice everything for the people she cares about, even if it means handing over years of her own life to do it. Watching her grow from someone naive and gullible into someone braver, stronger, and far more fearless to challenge the horrors around her was one of my favorite parts of the book. And I love the chaotic yet wholesome sibling dynamics between Eda and her brothers.
And look, I don’t think it’s surprising to anyone at this point that I have a thing for cheeky, snarky, morally questionable rage baiter love interests. The idea of a demon who genuinely sees beauty in humanity and music is actually a little suspiciously tailored to my interests if you ask me. And every single time Kit called Eda darling, I SWEAR I dissolved into a puddle.
The romance itself was cute. I really liked their chemistry and dynamic, but I didn’t fully love it because the build-up moved a little too quickly for my slow-burn-loving soul. I wanted just a little more yearning and tension to marinate in the feelings before diving into the romance.
And finally, we got to the ending. I genuinely have no idea if this is a standalone or not, but if it is, I have concerns. Because that was a cliffhanger and I refuse to accept this level of emotional abandonment.

I absolutely loved this book! I was hooked right from the start.
I love a dark, gothic style romance and this met that genre perfectly. The world building was excellent and I loved the premise involving binding to demons.
The characters were really well developed and likeable. I really enjoyed the mysterious, dark atmosphere and couldn’t wait to pick this book back up again!
I look forward to hearing more from this author!
