I am just so enjoying this series! And finally we get one for Cael and Erith!

With Bran getting sronger and stronger, Death has to come to terms with who she was and who she is now to beat him. And part of that is facing her feelings for her favorite reaper, Cael. And he's been in love with her from the start.

Love their journey and how they finally came together. And how Cael was "awakened." And while it would've been nice to witness channel her Mistress of War self and join forces with Cael, I guess that would've been too much. Read it! I can't say anymore. Hope we catch another glimpse of the couple later on in the other books.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the ARC. Loved it!

The ultimate battle between Bran and Erith is finally here! This has been building for awhile now and it held up to the hype. It's hard to write a review when you don't want to give anything away so I'll just say that I wasn't expecting what happened with Cael and Erith, but I completely approve.

I loved getting the beginning to Erith's story because it explained so much about her and why she choose Reapers and even how she chose them.

While this could have easily felt like an ending, it didn't. There is still so much left unfinished. Since the Reaper series has intertwined with the Dark Kings series, I'm not sure if there will be more Reaper books or if some of the unfinished will get resolved in the Dark Kings series. Either way, I'm looking forward to the next book.

Well written, characters were good, really enjoyed this one couldn't put it down

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance read

4.5 stars - Let me first start by saying, this is the first installment in this series that I understood from start to finish. Now, I know what my husband feels like when he finally connects the dots of a Game of Thrones plot. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve finally gotten the cast of characters, allies and enemies, plots and sub-plots and good and bad factions figured out, or if this one is just written better. Whatever the reason, I was able to fully enjoy this read including all the wonder and complexity in which Ms. Grant infused into the story. The villain, heroine, hero and mission are all clear and it’s a glorious thing.

If you’ve been enjoying this series, this one is going to be a home run for you. If you haven’t read it any of the books, I actually think that this isn’t a bad starting point. Either way, you’re in for a treat!

I received an ARC of this book, from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is the end to the Reapers series, at least the primary arc that we have been following and it is another amazing, addicting story with turbulent ups and downs that had me undeniably hooked throughout the entire thing.

Great read. I couldn't put it down. Love the characters and story. It has some great twists and turns. Readers will be drawn into the story from the first page. Readers will want to add it to their To Be Read list.

I like this series because there is so much character and world building. And the unspoken love between Death/Erith and Cael has been so hard to watch, I just wanted to see them together. Throughout this series, I’ve seen the changes in relationships, the addition of new characters, and the deeper understanding of their world. This is a complex story; I was constantly imagining all the ways each interaction could go. It is never boring.
This is the seventh book in a series but can be read as a standalone.

OMG, finally!! I've been reading the Dark King Series and the Reaper Series of Donna Grant for some time now and now there is finally a book on Death (Erith) herself! Yay! Cael has been in love with Erith for centuries, but as Death herself, she didn't let anyone come near her. When she is weakened by Bran, she must take up her sword (which Ettie has retrieved in part 5).
We see how Cael and the Reapers are preparing to fight Bran. We see how friends and foes unite in this epic battle between Death and Bran. Who will betray who and how will Cael be able to help Death if she doesn't let him in her realm?
A story full of twists and turns and although we get a glimpse of the story... there's always more... So four out of five stars from me, but only because now I have to wait for the next part in the series. Thank you Netgalley for providing the arc and Donna Grant: please keep them coming!

This was the one I've been waiting for and it was everything I hoped for! Grant absolutely delivered the best book in the series so far. I wanted Death to get her story and boy did she.

Thank you to Swerve (St. Martin's Press) and NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC to read and review. "Dark Alpha's Awakening" by Donna Grant is set to be published February 5, 2019.

"Dark Alpha's Awakening" is an epic paranormal romance to love and appreciate.

I am in awe of Donna Grant's mastery of the written word. Her sentences, her diction were just...seamless - the epitome of "the right words in the right order." From beginning to end, I was enamored with the characters, intrigued by the complexity of the plot, and captivated by the storytelling and how she brought everything together.

I love this new approach to Death and Reapers. You get a fresh take on Death's origins and what compelled her to create the Reapers. I also love that fae were involved - one of my favorite beings to read about. Really, this book just had a little of everything I love about the paranormal romance and fantasy genres.

For me, this was the perfect story. It's the kind of story I love to read. I don't know if or when I'll go back ad read the other books (woops!), but I have become an instant fan of Donna Grant and I know others will too if they read her books.

This is one of my top 2 in this series. This couple was a long time coming and Grant did not disappoint. Cael is a strong hero and Erith finally becomes the person she was meant to. Grants still continues to intrigue us about Rhi as well. This wraps up this story line well and still leaves openings for the Reapers to continue without dragging out the plot.

It's the first book I read in this series and it was a great discovery that made me crave for more.
It's entertaining, fast paced and a page turner you cannot put down.
I love the action packed plot, the characters and the general mood of the book.
I will surely read the other books in this series.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for this ARC

This book finally raps up the battle between the Reapers and Bram WITH the added benefit of Cael and Erith’s love story coming to fruition .
Reading the previous books would be of benefit but this one can be read as a standalone .

Bran has found a part of Erith's old diary , one she long thought destroyed , and has been syphoning both her strength and magic , slowly weakening her and strengthening him .
To keep the Reapers' wives safe from Bran and his Dark Fae , she must utilise Cael's Strategic expertise and recover what is causing her loss of powers .
Bringing together not just the Reapers but also both Light and Dark Fae to aid her in her battle against Bran , Erith , must decide Cael's fate , after his capture and torture by Bran . Can she save him or must she lose him in favour of the greater good .
A very good fast paced romance laced with darkness and twists and turns .
This is not the last book in the series I think as there were teasers at the end of the book regarding characters that just wont go away .
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own .

Donna Grant just knows how to give all the feels! I haven't read the other books in this series but I'm going to download them as soon as I'm done writing this review!

This book is dark, sexy, romantic, and most of all- it's full of action! Highly recommend this book and any other others written by Grant!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. All I can say is OMG, yet another great book in The Reaper series by Donna Grant. Just love reading her work and I recommend her to friends and family.

Erith & Cael are such an amazing character! I really enjoyed reading their romance! I highly recommend!! This book was written so well, I was able to imagine it as if I was there!

This was a fantastic story, I’ve been waiting for this particular one to come along for a while! The tension between Cael and Erith has been stranglingly thick since the first book, and I’m sure everyone is with me in thinking it’s about time it was addressed! I loved the story, and the twists and turns that alternately broke my heart and made me cheer out loud! This is what storytelling should look like with a deceptively simple story that morphs and turns into a complex and thrilling intertwined adventure that while still answering the base of the story leaves it open in a multitude of directions! Stellar story, and thank you for the opportunity to review this jewel!

Holy Hades! I have been dying to have Cael and Erith’s story for forever it seems and Grant delivered beautifully! The leader of the Reapers and Death herself finally getting together after centuries of secretly eyeing one another with unfulfilled desire I might add?! Um, yes please!! Bonus points for finally getting a battle worthy wrap-up regarding Bran and his Dark Fae army too, but I’m shamelessly admitting I’m all about the romance between Cael and Erith!

Cael was brilliant at strategy and protective like any good guy and I loved how he never hesitated to step back and let Edith do her thing. He never felt threatened by her power, rather he was proud of her and what she could do. So when Erith fully re-embraced all of herself as Death and Mistress of War, shouldering the mantle of her true power, it was pretty cool to see Cael step back and let her take center stage. However, seeing them together sharing equal power and working as supportive partners was downright awesome!

As I mentioned above, Cael and Erith’s book also wraps up the battle with Bran-finally!-while leading into another storyline with a few pesky characters who just won’t fade into the woodwork! The story took a couple of twists I was not expecting, keeping my anticipation high, and Grant delivered everything I wanted and then some! Great fights, muddled secrets, one blistering hot romance, and some mixed news from the battlefront has me curious to see where the next story will lead the hodgepodge of allies-and enemies-the Reapers and the Dragon Kings have amassed!

I had read the previous six books in this series and this is the one I had been waiting for!!

I read the book in one sitting and LOVED it, I really felt for Death and her Reapers in this one. It is a longer novel that some of the others in the series and with that you get a more complex story that had twists and turns and just the right amount of detail to keep you fully engrossed, gripped and entertained.

For me this story is superb, Donna Grant is an excellent storyteller and this is the best Reaper book in the series so far by quite a way - and taking in to consideration that I have given the others all 5 stars, that is saying something. I thought that the plot was brilliant, so well developed and I loved how it all came together at the end.

The book is left on a bit of a cliff-hanger so I can't wait to see what happens in the next book and where she takes the characters - the only downside is the wait for the book!!

Five stars from me, no hesitation and could easily have been six or seven stars - I am really looking forward to the next book in the series - I love the Dark Kings series but the Reapers is right up there for me, I love the characters

Serving Death and the Reapers has been my life for centuries. I’ve always put my duty before everything, even my yearning for Death. But now, she’s fading – our foe is bent on destroying her and he will stop at nothing until he does. When I started reading I couldn't put it down. Donna Grant is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.
