"Oh wow.<br/><br/>This was so bad.<br/><br/>No flavor. No vibes. Nothing.<br/><br/>Runyx's melodramatic writing style will give you an aneurysm, and the couple will make you feel like you're crazy because you will be looking for their chemistry the whole time, and you will never find it.<br/><br/>Are we supposed to believe these two are in love...? For real?<br/><br/>One of the worst heroes of all time.<br/><br/>He was like a plank of wood.<br/><br/>And she spent the whole book going over how SO INCREDIBLY BLUE his eyes are...? And how his voice tastes like sin and whiskey...? What the **** does that even mean?<br/><br/>I can't...<br/><br/>I have the 2 following books in the series, but every bone in my body is telling me NOT to continue..."
"**** was good. There was a twist in the plot that I loved. This was more fast paced than the first one."

"When the reapers loves the raven is a dark, beautiful full chaos love story. Don’t tell the men of Sandlot, but I love the soldiers of Anarchy. <br/><br/><b> “The reaper and the raven. One can see death, and the other deals with it. They’re a perfect pair.”<br/><br/><p> Devon and Leah May are a perfect pair. Each can see the other for who they are and accept them.<br/><br/>The author is the queen of a slow burn; she grips your attention and keeps you there, and her storytelling is fantastic. She also goes into great detail about backstories, which I always appreciate. The beginning of how the reaper was born drew me to this book. <br/><br/>As always, another hit from the author; now to read the Joker. I Love Colton."
