Dark Alpha's Hunger (Reaper #6)
by Donna Grant
Blurb:
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…
Where
Death leads, I follow. Nothing will stop me from my duty – not even the
darkness that claims me. It’s the music that leads me from the dark, returning me
to my brethren and a new foe that has risen. Learning who hunts Thea could be
the key to unraveling what we need to know to defeat our enemy. The Half-Fae’s
music stirs a passion within me that I’ve never known. For her, I will break my
vow of silence. For her…I will risk everything.
Themes: Paranormal,
Fae

Review:
Well that was surprising… and I
didn’t realize how many times I would be having that thought in this rather
short novel. I have really enjoyed
getting to know these Reapers and was sad that their series was going to be
coming to an end, an inherent part of any series based around a character-set with a certain number—there are always only
seven reapers—so I was thrilled to know that wasn’t going to be the case
after all. When Eoghan went missing there was a hole in his team and that loss
was felt strongly, so when I realized this story was his return, I knew I was
going to enjoy every second of seeing him fall in love. Thea was a real sweetheart,
obviously the type of woman that has lived her life on her own terms, but has
resided mostly in her own head and survived on her musical talent. If you are just coming into this series, this
book is a good one to jump in on, giving you plenty of back story and letting
you fall in love with the characters while at the same time not leaving you
longing for the subtle details you might have missed. Eoghan was a man after my own heart, broken
by his past for thousands of years, when he looks into the eyes of the woman
who saved him from the Dark he knows immediately that Thea is different and his
life will never be the same now that she is in it. I loved seeing him overcoming his fear and
his past in order to let Thea into his heart so that he could gift it to
her. Thea was a dangerous temptation to
Eoghan without even trying to be, but her grounded nature and ability to remain
humble even in the face of all the magic and danger around her shows her to be
a truly unique individual. I enjoyed
watching her find her place in Eoghan’s world and when she stood up to the
enemy that made herself known, I fell as madly in love with her as Eoghan
had. I loved every second of the passion
between these two and I was sad to see the end of the story, but I know there
will be more magic coming soon. I am
thrilled that the series will be continuing and loved learning more about the
Dark world and the Dragon Kings series as well as the Reapers and cannot wait
for the next book in the entire world and of course whatever comes next in the
series. If you love the Dark World
books, jump on this one now, if you haven’t read her (crazy people) then I
still suggest running out and grabbing the entire Reaper series and the Dark
Kings series if nothing else. Then you can spread your wings slowly!
P.S.
Still no reveal on the secret of Rhi’s lover, though there was a bit of hinting!
