Review: Reaper’s Revenge – Charlotte Boyett-Compo

Reaper’s Revenge Charlotte Boyett-Compo “Western Wind, book two.” There’s unfinished business in Haines City. Cynyr Cree and his wife Aingeal have returned to the western town to protect its citizens from two men the Reaper thought he’d killed. With Cree are the other six Reapers of his team, sent there by the Shadowlords to help stamp out an impending threat to all mankind lurking in the mountains of the high desert. Otaktay, the Jakotai brave who once owned Aingeal, has sworn to take her back from Cree and to slay the Reaper before her eyes. Teaming up with Silas Gibbs, a rogue Reaper, the Jakotai will let nothing stand in his way of retrieving the woman he believes belongs to him even if it means becoming a rogue himself. From the blackness of space, the Triune Goddess Morrigunia keeps a close eye on Her beloved Reapers. When She senses death and danger stalking one of Her own in the form of the Ceannus-those who originally brought the rogues to Terran shores to destroy humankind-She returns to Terra with vengeance in Her eye and annihilation in Her black heart.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Reapers Revenge is the second book in the Western Wind series. I read the first book and I recommend that others read the first book before this one. There were several references to things that happened in the first book. And best of all the first book is really, really good so you’ll miss a treat if you don’t read it.

Aingeal and Cynyr Cree return to Haines City on the steamiest train ride in history. This story really brings the heat from beginning to end! They face an evil so strong that it will take all of the reapers working together to defeat it with help from a surprise visitor. One reaper will battle for his life while another succumbs to the power of love. Kidnapping, rape, and murder add suspense to this already adventurous and romantic storyline.

Boyett-Compo shows off her awesome writing skills by managing to deftly weave humor into this storyline in a way that enhances the suspenseful and romantic elements of the story. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. Thankfully this book has no cliffhanger but the writing is so good you want to dive back into that special zone that only a Charlotte Boyett-Compo book can take you.
