Kiss the Reaper by Blak Rayne @BlakRayne ~ My Review: 5 Blood Dripping Gripping Stars

Kiss the Reaper

Blak Rayne

New release now available at Amazon!

Blurb:

As a prostitute, Z has no one trustworthy he can rely on in his life until he meets Brody, a kind and mysterious man who seems to be the answer to all his problems.

‘Wherever depravity knocks, he will answer. Whenever Z knocks, he will kill.’

For Z, prostitution is a way of life, but it’s also become his prison. Desperate to forget his ugly existence, even if it’s only once a week, he confides in a john—a mysterious but kind man named Brody. Every Friday night they talk until the early morning hours. Brody is altruistic, giving him the attention he craves and, in time, they cultivate a unique bond.

For Brody, he’s found something special in Z—an innate charm and pure view of the world—qualities he can appreciate. He’s grown fond of Z and comfortable with their routine, but he knows it will soon come to an end.

Fueled by curiosity, Z follows Brody through the city to a dance club. He wants to learn all he can about his unusual client. However, he discovers more than he bargained for—a dark unsettling secret is hidden in a back room, a secret he can never share.

You Won't Breathe Until the End ~ It is THAT Gripping

I have long been an avid fan of Blak Rayne. Her work is unbelievably phenomenal and always draws us into the world between her artful pages, submerging us in carefully selected words crafting a world none of us could even imagine. And yet she can. In Kiss the Reaper, she has written a very dark yet hopeful world of retribution, redemption, love and hope. How the Hell are all those contrasts even possible in one piece?! I don't know; you'd have to ask her. But, she does it and like an artist with a bare canvas, oils and brushes, she transforms her images into fast-paced words that are so moving, they latch onto us by our fears and curiosity and don't let go until the last page is turned and we sigh...wanting more..

The story is compelling, gripping, dark...and yet not, The words are strung together like jewels: carefully, artistically, one enhancing the other and in need of the other’s brilliance. Her way with words is, I don’t really know…magical? I saw everything she described and felt the tension, the relief, the resignation, the determination—the love and hope--the pain. I felt the rain pelting, felt the concrete sidewalk rise up to meet the face of a falling Z, I heard the approaching footsteps while my own terror mounted. Brody's calm determination was a frozen wave that washed over me. I didn't breathe for 5 chapters so I couldn't put it down. I had to find out how it ended so I could breathe again.

If you don't read this book, you will do yourself a tantalizing disservice on this emotional roller coaster that is her imagination. This book will bring you to the core of the dark side of human nature. But, there is promise in retribution; there is hope in redemption. In short? I friggin' loved this book and cannot wait for the next one. 5 stars plus!

Lilting Dialogue, Artfully Paced and Cleverly Written

I love a heartwarming story any day, or night, of the week. And did I say, it also has an honor-bound, kilt-wearing hero center stage? Well, no matter, you would have fallen in love with this card carrying Scottish Laird, Nigel, soon enough. So, the story is a contemporary, fun, wittily written comedy about Nigel and Lola meeting in a candy shop. I am not one to give plot bunnies out, so suffice it to say, Nigel was not in South Carolina to meet Lola but another woman he had been courting online.

The writing is catchy, witty, believable and ...normal. I love how strangers talk to one another when there is magnetic attraction in the air and they would surely prefer doing something other than talking to one another right from the get-go. The story is beautifully crafted and also quite believable.

If you enjoy lilting dialogue, artfully paced and cleverly written behind a thoroughly believable story line you will adore, and two characters who you are convinced destiny has thrown together, you will love this story. I did and I give it 5 bloomin' stars and highly recommend you read it. Lynn Cooper will quickly become one of your favorite authors.
