Queen of the Reapers

Lovesick Villains, Book 2

By: Jessa Halliwell

Narrated by: Nikki Monroe, Corvin King

All I ever wanted was to keep her safe. The last thing I expected was to fall for the bastards trying to hurt her.

The Reapers of Caspian Hills are powerful men. So powerful that when my idiotic stepfather offered them my little sister, I knew no one in their right mind would try to stop them. But I never claimed to be totally sane.

Offering myself in Alex's place was borderline suicidal, but I strolled into the lion's den anyway. While the brothers definitely lived up to their ruthless reputation, I discovered they had a weakness after all—me.

Belonging to these men put an immediate target on my back. Now that we've grown closer, every stranger I meet may be secretly out to get me. In this world filled with violence, deception, and cruelty, I've never felt more at home.

Our enemies may think I'm just an insignificant little pet to Atlas, Ezra, Tristan, and Cyrus, but they'll soon find out… I am their Queen, and damn, was I born to wear this crown.

Queen of The Reapers is book two of The Reapers of Caspian Hills, a dark mafia series where our heroine will end up with multiple love interests. This book ends on a cliffhanger, and their story will end with a HEA in book three. Intended for mature listeners.

Loved the Reapers, Struggled With the FMC

I really enjoyed the first book in the series, but by the second book I found myself increasingly frustrated with the FMC. While I absolutely loved the Reapers, there were several moments where the FMC’s choices made the story hard to get through, to the point where I'm not going to finish the series. That said, the voice actors were absolute perfection and added a lot to the overall experience.

Dual Narration - Great Trilogy

POTENTIAL TINY SPOILERS - Review is for the entire trilogy

I always love me some Corvin King and this was no different - the story was entertaining enough to finish the trilogy and I loved both narrators. The FMC did drive me a bit nuts throughout the series for a number of reasons - jumping to conclusions being the number one (had me talking to myself at one point like GIRL. THINK.)

Absolutely loved Ezra - as always the most unhinged MMC will always be my favorite and the scene in book 2 that was Stevie's breaking point? Full on tears and FMC made my sh*t list at that point XD

Tristan also had my heart with his stutter and I loved every scene with him.

Trust

This is a fantastic book! The narration was so well done!! I can’t wait for the next book in the series!!

Disappointing

The first book was really good and I loved that Corbin King was narrating the brothers. The second book focused too much on the female main character, and she was super annoying. She was oblivious she was selfish, and she was so weak. It was irritating towards the end of the book. I kind of wanted her to die. I’m not a fan of weak female main characters. It’s a big turn off. She jumped to too many conclusions. She never used her brain and her inner monologues were so frustrating. I’m going to listen to the third book, on the strength of needing to know how a story ends it’s the curiosity in me but I don’t think I’ll be reading anything from this author anytime soon again this second book really turned me off.

Book Two Syndrome

wtf all the progress with the reapers was lost in this book. wish they would have teamed up and worked together instead.
