Don't fear the reaper,fear the monster inside!
“I just want you to know that you’re my life,” he said. “Without you, I’m a monster.” “And what are you with me?” He gave her a rare, boyish grin, made even more playful by his mop of bedhead. “A happy monster.”

But that rule of mine goes out the window when Larissa Ione writes one. See, her and I have an understanding. If she writes it, I read it. Period. No exceptions.

So the end is nigh or a least the closing curtain on this part of this fantastic saga, ready for future story-arcs to develop and my god this was amped right up to the maximum.
This was action-packed edge of your seat momentum all the way.
So this was multiples POV's Focusing on many individuals we have come to know and love throughout this roller-coaster of a series.
It's the ultimate pinnacle of all we have been working towards and been gradually building up to and things will definitely get wors ...more

5 heart-stopping stars!
OMGOMGOMG!! What a fantastic read! Azagoth's story had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. And I'm sure my heart stopped a few times along the way. Wow, what an adventure! Full of action, excitement, romance, suspense, heartbreaking lows and dizzying highs, set within an incredible paranormal world. It was everything I was hoping it would be, and I freaking loved it!

Holy cow! This was an incredible wrap up of the on-going plots in the Demonica world. As the head man in charge of Sheoul-Gra, Azagoth, aka the Grim Reaper, and his mate Lilliana ae up against an unknown enemy out to destroy them and their unborn child. There were so many feelings in this story that I don’t know where to begin. Anger, immense sadness, shock, disbelief are all present and accounted for in this page turner. Azagoth is a charming jerk in the best possible way, while Lilliana is fun

I was elated to see that this author was finally coming out with a new full sized novel. However, when I saw the title, and read the synopsis I couldn’t help but be disappointed. I have been a fan of this series for a LONG time, but I feel it is stagnating. Larissa hasn’t come out with anything actually new in so long, I have lost interest in both this author and this series. The 1001 Dark Nights novellas are just not cutting it for me any more. This novel has literally already been written! I a

WOW! Larissa Ione has surpassed herself with this book. It was explosive and everything has changed in the world(again:D) This time, there was no turning back and I loved it! I want to reread all the books in the Demonica world now.

I actually read this almost immediately upon release. It's just taken a bit for me to work up the passion for a review. Because I'm a bit on the fence.
Once again with this author's books I read it pretty much in one sitting.
Azagoth's love story began in a novella and it was a good one. I remembered it well and that's saying something. But I had a problem with the further telling in that the use of his loved ones as leverage against him- felt kinda worn. Every superhero has had the same battle w ...more

Larissa Ione’s Demonica series is one of my favourite paranormal romance series. It’s such a vast world, with so much to love and enjoy, and I was excited when I saw there was another full-length novel coming out. For a while, it has been short stories. As I’m not a lover of short stories, I have not been keeping up to date with the series.
I believe my three-star rating reflects this. To understand Reaper, you really need to have read everything in the Demonica world. Sure, you get enough inform ...more

I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I've been teased by the many novellas taking us into the Demonica world the last few years and was ecstatic when I saw that we were getting a full length book in this world. I was even more excited when I saw that it was going to center around Azagoth. What I wasn't prepared for was the emotional roller coaster this book would take me on. There w



‘There, on the edge of Lilliana’s pond, he lost it, knowing that nothing would ever be the same.’
Larissa Ione has been one of my favourite paranormal authors since I first picked up one of her books back in 2009. It seems only fitting that ten years later I’m finishing with Reaper. Whilst it’s been a long time since my last Demonica read, I didn’t find that it hampered my enjoyment, rather I felt like I was coming home to a world that is forever embedded in my heart and soul.

I liked this book. There was a lot going on that kept my interest. I will note it almost felt like an end to the series and maybe it was, but I was left with some questions about the one guy that died (I’ll say no more for spoilers). We got some answers but not all. So was this the end of the series????

When I heard that Reaper is the final book of the Demonica World, I knew I had to read it, so I jumped at the chance to review the audiobook (I’ve only read the books before this). Reaper is the culmination of the Demonica Underworld story arc featuring the various players of, well… the Underworld. And while Azagoth had a novella with HEA/FN earlier in the series, his roll as the Grim Reaper is central to the upheaval that is occurring in the Underworld. This story is much more than a romance -

Wew..talk about an INTENSE book. Larissa Ione didn't hold back. At all.
But first, I want to address that despite its blurb, REAPER is NOT a rewrite version of AZAGOTH novella. Both have different story. AZAGOTH tell how Azagoth and Lilliana's relationship start, a novella that introduced both characters even Azagoth already play some integral part in Demonica and Lords of Deliverance series.

I just finished REAPER and - wow, oh wow - my God, so good!
It's the end of August and I give 5 stars for the first time this year to 2 books in the same week; "Reaper" definetely deserves all the stars. It was dark and so touching, all of it. All that angst because of Lilliana's disappearance, what Moloch did, what Azagoth must do, and everything else. Jeez, what a book! It had me crying every day it took me to read it.

I was so eager and distressed going into this novel knowing it’s also the end of the Demonica series.
I was also excited to have cameos from Eidolon, Shade and Wraith! I’ve missed them so much and it only fits. This series started with them and it makes sense that they would be there as it all comes to its end.
The action starts from the very beginning and it had me electrified and giddy throughout the book! Words like “holy shit”, “WTH?!” and “OMG!!!” ran rampant through my mind.

Just wow.

Firstly, you absolutely MUST read the author's note at the beginning of the book or you are going to be mad at first and possibly not finish the book.
It's THAT important.
You really, really need to read that author's note where our beloved author asks us to trust her while reading Reaper.

I've been a fan of the Demonica series for years now and it's always exciting when I get a new book in my hands. After a few years of shorter novellas I was really looking forward to reading a full length novel again and Larissa Ione didn't disappoint, let's just say that Reaper is a game changer in SO many ways. This is the first time we've had a whole extra book about a couple who are already living their HEA but considering Azagoth and Liliana have had so much going on as side characters in t

Such a fantastic “conclusion”! I loved being back in this world and Azagoth is one of the best characters. Very emotional and stressful read (get that glass of wine like Larissa suggests) but full of action and the vivid world Larissa has created. I missed Demonica and I was happy to be back. I also waited on the last few novellas so I had those to read and then Reaper. I liked that since all those characters and storylines linked into Reaper - especially Cipher. So I recommend at least reading

Hmm. What can I say? I felt the tension was lacking. The pacing felt so slow without some credible the tension. “Reaper” was also a grim story that can’t stand alone. I’ve read most of the Demonic books, but Azagoth’s romance happened in his novella. I skipped Cipher’s novella and felt like I missed some major background information. This book was too easy to put down. Meh.

AFTER READING:
A very good ending to the Demonica/Lords of Deliverance/Demonica Underworld series.
There was a battle of epic proportions and I liked every moment of it. Almost every character we know and love had an appearance. The book was full of twists, suspense and I dreaded that someone was going to die.
Judging by the end, we are going to get a new series featuring children being all grown up.

It's been a while since I had delved back into this world of characters and drama, and this book had mention of pretty much everyone in the series to date. I was happy to revisit the characters I had enjoyed in past books. I struggled some with Azagoth and Lilliana because I haven't read their origin story.
