Synopsis
Since the car crash that took her father’s life two years ago, Emma’s life has been a freaky—and unending—lesson in caution. Surviving “accidents” has taken priority over being a normal seventeen-year-old, so Emma spends her days taking pictures of life instead of living it. Falling in love with a boy was never part of the plan. Falling for a reaper who makes her chest ache and her head spin? Not an option.
It’s not easy being dead, especially for a reaper in love with a girl fate has put on his list not once, but twice. Finn’s fellow reapers give him hell about spending time with Emma, but Finn couldn’t let her die before, and he’s not about to let her die now. He will protect the girl he loves from the evil he accidentally unleashed, even if it means sacrificing the only thing he has left...his soul.
Review
I received this book in return
for a honest review from Netgalley. This is the story of Finn a reaper who is
in love with Emma a girl he was supposed to reap two years ago. Two years ago
Emma lost her father in a car crash and since that day she's been in and out of
a mental hospital because of her dreams. Finn since finding Emma has been
watching over here protecting her from an evil girl that he released on
her.
Seventeen years
ago Finn stole the second chance at a new life from Maeve another soul when
Emma at the Alison was going to be send into the shadowlands. Maeve is left to
wonder the earth a soul doomed to end up in the shadowlands after her soul
turns to shadow. Alison starts her life over as Emma unknown about the past,
Finn or Maeve. Finn doesn’t know where Alison is until he is sent to reap Emma
when she dies in a car crash. Instead of reaping her, and taking her to the
inbetween, where he brings the souls he’s collected. He leaves her soul, instead
helping save her life, because he loves her, and doesn’t want to lose her for
good. As fate would have it he unintentionally leading Maeve right to her.
Over the next two
years Finn watches over Emma protecting her from a vengeful Maeve who wants to
claim the life she should have had all along. Finn can't let anything happen to
Emma even though reapers are to have no contact with the human except when they
reap them. Finn goes against all the rules for love, ending up in deeper
trouble them he can imagine. But who wouldn't give it all up for the one they
love.
This book has a inviting
cover and the synopsis sounds great I just had to give it a shot. I love the
idea of soulmates and loves that transcend time, so of course this
story had me at the start. I love the characters Emma is so sweet, and fits the
whole girl next door, plus she's had a hard couple of years but keeps going
strong.I felt connected with her the loss of a parent to a car crash, dealing
with the dreams of her past that she doesn't remember. Plus who doesn't love
Finn, he's a former fight pilot who's a good guy just stuck in the wrong job,
and reminds me a lot of my hubby. The characters are well developed that you
feel like you know them, and can relate to the challenges in the story. I even
liked the supporting characters like Cash, Anaya and Easton. I really enjoyed
reading this book, it gave me everything I needed to be a great loves story. I
love the reaper and soul aspect of the story because sometimes loves isn't
simple and sometimes you have to do something you don't want to for love.
I look forward to reading more about the characters and what hinted at to
come in the next book.
