Organ Reapers: Don't judge the book.....

I won't lie to you, I was very excited to be approached by a publisher to review a new 'urban fantasy' novel; much less so when I learned the books name.....'Organ Reapers'.

'What'! I thought, 'This sounds a LOT like a gruesome mess I would rather avoid'.... and I am imagining that many potential readers will feel the same.

Despite my reluctance I gave the book a tentative read, then another, slightly less tentative, until finally I found myself just 'reading'.
In my happy place, as it were.

Organ Reapers, by Shay West, is not my favorite paranormal book this year, but it did prove (against all expectations) to be a good use of my time.

Reapers' boasts an unusual premise, where an inter-world portal is used by a revered, feted and richly rewarded few, to collect specific organs from earth bound donors to save lives from their home world.

What happens however, when a hand picked reaper questions the morality and wisdom of this brutal organ theft?

Faced with charges of treason on their own world, one such reaper, Keena and her partner, Tani find themselves Earth bound in a race to avoid arrest, while  attempting to convince detectives Eli and Ava that they are;

a) not crazy cultists,
b) indeed from another world and
c) able to help stop the mysterious and barbaric killing spree plaguing cities across the world.

Sounds interesting doesn't it?

If you are a fan of paranormal fiction then 'Organ Reapers' is a worthy addition to your 'other worldly' library. Read it on a rainy day and prepare to escape planet earth!
