Review:Dark Alpha's Temptation (Reaper #9) by Donna Grant



There is no escaping a Reaper. I am an elite assassin, part of a brotherhood that only answers to Death. And when Death says your time is up, I’m coming for you…
 
Carrying Death's orders is my sole duty. I've never had reason to question her, even if I disagreed. But Kyra's fierceness and willpower sheds light on my mission. She drives the darkness of my world away. The answers to the Others' goals lie in her past. For Kyra, I will risk going against Death's wishes. For her...I will battle the past and the future itself. 





 
What I thought about Dark Alpha's Temptation


I'm going to be clear up front -- I jumped into this series somewhere in the middle, so my thoughts may be from a different perspective than those faithful readers that started with book 1.  That being said, it hasn't made a huge difference to me that I didn't read the entire series.  While the book works better if you know all of the history and backstory from book one, it's really the romance that keeps bringing me back to this world of dragon kings and reapers.

This book features Kyra, a Light Fae who's job it is to track down her loved missing family member.  She's going to use reaper Dubham to help her in her quest.  When they have an instant spark together, there's little mystery to how it will turn out, although there's guaranteed to be some twists and turns for both of these characters. 

There's a lot going on in this world and things are building to a conclusion (aka battle) that I'm eager to read.  This book felt a little like a transition book helping to stoke the excitement for a great fight.  There's tremendous paranormal world building in the Reapers and Dragon Kings series, but if that isn't your thing -- you can just enjoy the romance.  I do.

So overall, another satisfying romantic story set in this world that Donna Grant has created

I've enjoyed some romantic suspense by this author but I haven't read this series. I always prefer to start at the beginning so that's what I would do when I get to it. Interesting review!
