A solid ending of the trilogy. Not as captivating as the first two installments but I enjoyed it nevertheless.
For my taste it was a tad too much of everything except plot. It could have easily been 100 pages shorter by cutting out some of the spicy scenes. I’m in for smutty parts but not being able to read more than 3 pages without something explicit happening or someone getting horny gets .. tedious. Especially because it felt as it had to top the first two books, which were already quite untoppable.
And as much as I liked the multiple POV, I continuously got lost who’s POV I was reading. They all felt pretty similar and often just repeat the story from a different angle than adding real new to it.

crazy psychos
It was a perfect way to end the Reaped series. I started reading this series from the Violent Tendencies Anthology and fell in love with the different personalities of Selene and her guys. This book though has me loving them even more. It’s the final chapter of their story and it’s bloodier and crazier than ever. It’s starts out right where the last book ended with Selene being held captive but in true Selene fashion she doesn’t need her guys to save her. She escapes and surprisingly find a new friend in a Jesus loving man. Pepe quickly becomes a part of their group as Santos claims him as a pet and helps them destroy the sex trafficking in NY. The guys and Selene find themselves split between NY and Nevada as they work with Santos family to find his sister and kill Mack. I’m sad the series is over but loved the happy ending.

“Those we slaughter will die knowing our name. We are the Reaper Incarnate.”
What a ride with Selene and her boys. Never a dull moment that’s for sure. Selene was taken at the end of Hunting the Reaper and the guys are on a mission to get her back, but does she really need their help?
Now the five of them are on a mission to take down the kingpin of the skin trade and boy do they leave quite the path of destruction in their wake. There are a few developments along the way, in which they are able to use to their advantage. The five of them are willing to risk it all to finish what they started, even if it costs them everything.
“You ripped through all of our defenses and settled inside our frigid little hearts.”
Selene continues to be a complete and utter badass. She is such a force in this story that it’s hard not to fall head over heels for her along with Zander, Blaze, Darius, and Santos. The dynamic and banter between all of them had me laughing out loud on several occasions. The crazy between Selene and Santos, Darius and his big heart, Daddy Blaze, and the hopeless romantic in Zander. Can’t expect anything but crazy action and spice from this group, but I’ll admit the ending had me swooning.

I loved this book, this one definitely had more action than the other too and really had me guessing what was going to happen next and being totally WRONG. By far one of the best reverse harem book/series I’ve read so far. Twisted and sexy at the same time!

Claiming the reaper is the third book in the Reaped series. This book is told from multiple points of view from Selene, Blaze, Santos, Zander, and Darius.
This book was everything and then some! I'm still reeling from the book hangover! This book starts off right from when book two ends with Selene missing. Her boys are trying to find her and save her, but Selene is a bad a** heroine. So does she really need the saving?
Selene and her boys are back at war with their enemies. Will they be able to rid the world of those who have wronged them? Will their relationships survive everything that is thrown at them?
I loved every minute of this book, as well as this series. The banter between Selene and the boys, or even between the boys. The sexy times between Selene and all of her men! I'm hoping we see snippets of these characters again. I really loved learning their backstories, and getting to know them!

Welp. That's it. I need myself a harem of psychopaths. This book wrapped up the series perfectly in my opinion. Selene and her guys are pure choatic excellence. As expected from reading the other two books in the series there's blood, gore, death, humour and all spice. So sad to say goodbye to these characters but also so glad I got a chance to meet them.

This was my absolute favorite book in the entire series! It was an epic ending to say the least. In this book we see the relationship between Selene and her men grown and between Santos and Darius. They take down their last major threat, but not after some really scary moments for their family. I absolutely loved two of the new characters that are introduced in this book! There were moments I was laughing, cringing, on the edge of my seat, and crying. To me that means this is an amazing book! I highly recommend this series!

Great final book.
I found this series by accident but I was so happy I did. I loved Selene from the start she was psycho and revelled in the fact she was. When she met the guys it wasn’t all happy Blaze wasn’t the nicest to her her Zander acted indifferent but Santos wanted he from get go and Darius wanted whatever made Santos happy. Look how far they’ve come now all one big dysfunctional psycho happy family who will kill to protect each other and the ones they love. I had several fits of giggles and some loud snorting at Santos and the way he tormented Pepe when he first arrived on the scene, it was good to see Santos’s softer side when he declared Pepe as a friend. I’m just waiting for the hardcover to be released now so I can complete my collection as the hardcovers really are perfect.
