Banished Spirits by Jacinta Maree
5.0
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review!
This is a follow up to My Demonic Ghost but it is also a prequel too. I loved this book. This story filled in some of the questions I had left over from the first book.
This is Jordan Hastings story. He was killed by a fellow classmate in a fit of jealous rage causing him to become a Reaper. What is a reaper you ask? Well Jordan's job with the help of his Goon is to show up when someone dies and collects their Spirit to then take to the drop off. This is a difficult thing for Jordan to come to terms with but eventually he begins to accept this.
Jordan is a rule breaker and I love him for it. He enters the Sin World to free a Banished Spirit in hopes of getting their help with watching over another Banished Spirit. This other Banished Spirit is important to him and will cause Jordan to look for a way to free all the Banished Spirits.
I enjoyed meeting new Reapers and getting to know them through Jordan. His interactions with the Reapers and the Hunters kept me on my toes. Some of the Reapers I developed a real liking for while others I really didn't care for. We also got some of the back story on the Hunters. The Hunters have control over the Reapers and Jordan hopes to end that while freeing the Banished.
This book had everything I was expecting it to have. There's love (maybe not always romantic), adventure, action, and yes I even cried. Thank you Jacinta Maree for the return trip. I got to explore more of the Sin World in this story. If I may say it's just as nasty and scary as my first trip there, I love it. Thank you for keeping to what I would expect from the Sin World. It may just be one of my favorite things about these books. This is a great read that I will recommend to my fellow readers.
