⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Bold, Passionate, and Utterly Addictive

Alexiares is everything I love in a paranormal romance—intense, emotional, and impossible to put down. N.J. Walters crafts a story bursting with chemistry, danger, and heart, all set in a richly imagined world that feels both fierce and intimate. The characters are strong, flawed, and unforgettable, and their connection absolutely sizzles. Every page pulls you deeper into the tension and passion. A perfect blend of romance and fantasy—this one’s a standout favorite.

I found myself whipping through Alex and his tale just as quickly as I did his brother’s. And while Alex is a reaper, he’s more than willing to step in to save Cilla in any way he’s capable of because…he loves her? No, it can’t be. He’s not human. He can’t love. Or can he?

Alex and Cilla are perfect together. Just as Sam and Adrianne are, these two find their way and try so hard to trust, even with so many secrets that simply can’t be told. When it all comes to a head, they also manage to save each other, much to the pleasure of one proud father. And maybe the brothers will have a good relationship that can rebuild their once-close bond.

I’m looking forward to the third brother hitting town. Based on Death’s contemplation, I have a feeling it’s going to be quite the exciting ride.

Reaper!!

Priscilla Wainwright is blindsided when a man on a motorcycle runs right in front of her. Little does she know her life is about to change.

“You ever have the feeling your life is spinning out of control and there’s not a thing you can do about it?”

“That’s currently the story of my life.”
Alex is a Reaper. His long life has grown humdrum until he gets dropped into the small town of Redemption.

“She makes my heart sing with happiness. I want to be the man she sees when she looks at me.”

This spin on HEA is a fantastic read. Danger is around every corner. This series is the bomb!!

💀✨ ARC Reveal: Alexiares by N.J. Walters ✨💀
Pub Date: November 10, 2025

The Grim Reaper’s son just crashed into small-town trouble.

Alexiares Blackwell was supposed to be reaping souls and riding his Harley through New York, not waking up powerless in a tiny town called Redemption. But when Death himself decides his son needs a “lesson in humanity,” Alex finds himself stuck among mortals… and dangerously drawn to one in particular.

Cilla Wainwright runs the local inn with a heart as warm as her smile and Alex’s broody, leather-clad charm doesn’t stand a chance. One stolen kiss changes everything. Except there’s one problem: her soul might be next on his list.

🖤 Grumpy reaper x sunshine innkeeper
🖤 Small-town paranormal romance
🖤 Forced proximity + forbidden love
🖤 Motorcycle + grim reaper aesthetic
🖤 Found family (and father-son drama with Death himself)

If you loved Samael, get ready for another darkly funny, emotionally charged ride through Redemption. This one is steamy, supernatural, and full of heart.

won this book in a giveaway and soooo happy I did. This book hooked me immediately. A delicious, enthralling MMC and an independent and welcoming FMC. The pull towards each felt immediately. Definitely going to read the first book in the series!


ARC provided through Entangled and netgalley.

Celia and Alex's story grabbed me from the first chapter forward. I think I enjoyed this more than book one in the series.

Even though I knew Alex was going to end up with Cilla, his bad boy vides and the slow burn romance kept me turning the pages and rooting for them.
I am looking forward to book three!!

Highly recommend. Thank you NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for another incredible read!

I was completely swept away by Alexiares! N.J. Walters has crafted a story that’s both thrilling and deeply emotional, blending epic adventure with moments that hit straight in the heart. The world-building is rich, the stakes are high, and the characters are unforgettable — flawed, brave, and compelling in every way.

From the first page, I was hooked, rooting for Alexiares through every twist, battle, and revelation. This is a story that stays with you long after the last word, the kind of book that makes you fall in love with the magic of storytelling all over again.
