Description:
They
see death. Can they share a life?
Ruth
Scott can read the energy of every person she meets. Then she meets
Deacon Walker. She can see his ice-blue eyes, his black hair, and his
gorgeous face. But this beautiful stranger has no aura.
Deacon
is just as unsettled by Ruth—and, having spent more than two
hundred years ushering souls to Purgatory, Deacon is seldom shocked
by anything. As he helps Ruth to understand her true nature, she
awakens desires that he decided long ago a Reaper can’t afford.
A
demon invasion forces Deacon to confront the darkness in his own past
even as he fights to save the human souls he’s charged to protect.
When he’s taken captive, his first concern is for Ruth. But Ruth
just might be able to save herself—and the Reaper she can’t live
without—if she can learn to wield her newfound powers.
My Review
This is the story of Ruth, the woman that has always been able to see people’s auras and Deacon, a reaper that prefers solitude. They meet when Deacon reaps Ruth’s mom. Their meeting sparks questions from both of them. He wonders why can she see him and she wonders why he has no aura. Their chance meeting begins a chain of events that changes both of them forever. Is it possible Ruth is a reaper and doesn’t know it?I liked this story, but something about it didn't seem to fit. Sudden unexplained powers, abilities that shouldn’t have been, but were now suddenly wielded expertly. It was all too convenient. Maybe there were details that are filled in in the later books, but in this one there was no hint to why these things came to be.I'm going to give this one 3.5 stars because of how things didn't seem to fit, but I'm going to finish the series with hope that the next two books will tie things together.

Description:
He’s
a reaper who has given up on saving souls. Will a dying woman be his
salvation?
After
a century of enslavement to pure evil, Kylen Larson is finally free.
But he’s long past caring. The only woman he ever loved is dead,
and he’s tormented by memories of the horrors his demon parasite
forced him to commit. Now, he lives for nothing more than hunting
down the infernal creatures invading Meridian, Arkansas, and
destroying them.
Olivia
Evans is in the final stages of cancer when Kylen accidentally saves
her from demonic possession. When he rescues this innocent soul,
Kylen rediscovers his mission—and his heart. All he wants is to
help Olivia stay alive. He’ll just have to fight off an invasion
from Hell first…

Description:
By
day he saves lives in the city he loves. Can he save souls too?
Nate
is an EMT, a witch and a newly inducted member of the Reaper
Authority Force. What he's not is a reaper. With unexplained
abilities, his true nature lies somewhere in between the angels,
demons and reapers he finds himself involved with. When he's paired
with the reaper Maeve, he struggles to find his place in the rising
war to save the souls of Meridian and the world.
Maeve
has tried to hide her reaper handicap--her toxic reaper energy--from
her colleagues. But when she's possessed by a fallen angel and forced
to poach souls for Hell, her greatest weakness might be the only
thing that saves her.
Nate
uses his growing powers and his innate magic to find Maeve. He'll do
whatever it takes to save her, revealing more than he ever imagined
in the process.
