Prime Reaper, Arawn Gehdrin, and his new wife Danielle have just married and realize they have much to work out.  Danielle is fun-loving but nervous about what is within Arawn.  While she loves him and wants to be with him, she doesn’t ever want to be a reaper, and Arawn loves her too much to not honor her wishes.

When he is sent to help stop the Ceannus Arawn leaves Danielle behind, unknowing of the secrets she has worked hard to keep hidden.  Things do not go as planned in Calizonia or at the Citadel, leaving everyone in turmoil and fighting desperately for control.

Prime Reaper is a fast paced book with lots of sizzling, emotional, and violent scenes.  While some parts of this book might be offending to some, every scene was a necessary part of the story.  Charlotte Boyett-Compo does not disappoint with this tale of love, war, failure and triumph.  From start to end Ms. Boyett-Compo throws twist after twist at the poor Reapers and their wives.  While a stand alone book, Ellora’s Cave recommends you read the books in order.  I have to tell you that I’ve not read any of the Reaper books in order and found Prime Reaper easy to follow and very enjoyable.  A few scenes had classic purple prose that made me chuckle, even during love scenes, but even her head hopping was done so well I couldn’t help but enjoy this book from start to finish.
