Genre: YA
My Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
Goodreads Says: Cash is haunted by things. Hungry, hollow things. They only leave him alone when Anaya, Heaven’s beautiful reaper, is around. Cash has always been good with girls, but Anaya isn’t like the others. She’s dead. And with his deteriorating health, Cash might soon be as well.
Anaya never breaks the rules, but the night of the fire she recognized part of Cash’s soul—and doomed him to something worse than death. Cash’s soul now resides in an expired body, making him a shadow walker—a rare, coveted being that can walk between worlds. A being creatures of the underworld would do anything to get their hands on.
The lines between life and death are blurring, and Anaya and Cash find themselves falling helplessly over the edge. Trapped in a world where the living don’t belong, can Cash make it out alive?
Once again I am awed by the world Tara Fuller has created.
Having only read one other Reaper book and using that
experience as a comparison, I can honestly say that this is the best Reaper
series I’ve read to date. I can speak about the author’s growth (because there
were leaps and bounds of growth), the incredibly solid characters and their
story (they were that solid), the awesome pace that propelled you to the end and
how the ambiance created along with the complexity of the story had you glued
to your seat (seriously great storytelling). I can speak of those things and
maybe I will but right now, right now, I want to speak about how thought
provoking this read is.
There are really unique concepts introduced in this series
that I’ve never thought about before. They challenge your beliefs or knowledge
about life and the afterlife, good and evil, and the power of love. This book
offers an opportunity for a great discussion. I don’t know about you but I love to discuss
the books I read just as much as I love getting lost in them.
Seriously, everyone should read this story. This was a solid
read with a nice balance of paranormal, romance, heavy, light and sweet. It
really felt complete. I would have liked the concepts of the Inbetween and the
shadows to be explained a bit more for clarity but all in all the explanation given
was enough for Cash and Anaya’s story. YA needs more reads like this one.
