Book
description:
17- year- old Ana Maria Tei’s life has
always been perfect: loving parents, good grades, and a future so bright it
outshone the sun. But now words like “separation” and “divorce” are sending her
world plummeting to hell. Determined to keep her family intact, Ana plans a
family-bonding trip from Vienna to Tuscany. Except fate has other plans. Ana’s
parents and siblings are killed in a car accident on their way to pick Ana up
from school.
Enter Grim, aka Ernest. He promises to relinquish the four souls if Ana agrees to trade her soul for theirs and serve a lifetime as his novice. In order for Ana to graduate from her Reaper’s Novice station to a Soul Collector graduate, Grim puts her to test. To her horror, she finds out becoming a Reaper’s Novice didn’t happen by chance. It was preordained, and she is forced to make a choice: save her family’s souls or come to terms with who she really is and complete the task set for her.

Author Bio:
As soon as my
bedroom door closes, Rolf swings me around and backs me up against the door,
his entire length to mine. He slides his arm around my waist, pulling me
closer. He leans down, pressing his lips on my forehead. “Your dad doesn’t
trust me.”
I slide my hands
up his firm chest and slip them around his neck, tangling my fingers with the
silky-soft hair curling on his collar. “I don’t think my dad trusts any boy in my room.”
He chuckles, his
warm breath caressing the shell of my ear. “Good thing he doesn’t.” His voice
is hoarse, tossing away any decent thoughts from my mind. “I’ve missed you.” My
knees barely hold me up as his lips trail my jaw, in a slow torturous pace. His
arms tighten around me, melding us together. Hiking to my toes, I push my body
forward until all that surrounds me is his light sandalwood aftershave.
“Missed you—”
His mouth covers mine, cutting me off. Every sound inside the flat fades.
Everything in me veers forward, focusing on him, on his lips on mine, not
caring that my parents could walk in on us, or my siblings down the hallway
could barge in. His hands travel down the hem of my t-shirt, and under it, wrap
around my waist and soon his fingertips whisper into my skin. And I’m burning.
They hike farther up. Every nerve in my body narrows to his fingers. I’m sure
if he stops, my body will shatter into millions of worthless pieces. And when
they do move up to trace the outer line of my lace bra, my body trembles with
the promise of combusting. A whimper bubbles up my throat, and I push myself
further into him. If only I could get under his skin, then we could be one. He
groans low as he pushes me against the door seeming as desperate as I am. I
tighten my hold on him at the same time fumble awkwardly with his shirt
searching for the path to his skin. As soon as my fingers touch his skin, his
whole body trembles.
He lifts his
mouth from mine, then buries his face in the crook of my neck, breathing hard.
I clutch him closer, tighter, my breath mirroring his.
“Kissing you has
got to be the most pleasurable thing in the world, Ana.” His voice is still
rough, his breath deliciously warm on the nape of my neck. I couldn’t agree
more. I mean about kissing him.

I hate it when the story gets dumb and the characters act silly.
I like deep story lines, when you can understand why the main character is acting like he is and I like heroes who''grow'' through the book!

Thanks for taking part in Reaper's release day, Kay. <3
I love when a book has lots of action in it! Hearing good reviews and a great cover always makes me pick up a book and want to read it!
I love the cover , then I check the backcover and read reviews. This one sounds good.
Thanks for stopping by and showing Cece some love my friends. I'll be reading this book over the weekend and cannot wait to tell you all about how great I'm sure it'll be. :D
I hate a protagonist who is so stubborn to a point that he/she is being annoying. That's one thing that makes it so hard for me to finish a book.
I like realistic dialogue. I cannot stand when guys are pouring out their hearts to these personality-less girls in long flowery sonnets. It's not realistic and most of the time just sounds silly. (Exception: William Shakespeare)
