Long ago, Queen J recommended Reaper<\/a> by A. Zavarelli (Boston Underworld Book #2) to me, telling me the Hero was right up my alley.\u00a0 But he was book #2<\/a> in the series!\u00a0 I couldn’t start at #2!<\/p>\n

\"reaper_cover\"<\/p>\n

And this weekend, I finally picked up Crow,<\/a> book #1 in the series.\u00a0 And there went all my free time (side note: thanks to Prince Consort B for keeping the royal palace clean this weekend while I was occupied). Before I knew it, I had finished Ghost<\/a>.\u00a0 And I feel a little adrift. There are more books scheduled to release…but when? I need to know so I can stare at the calendar, willing the days to move.<\/p>\n

While these books are all in a connected series, each couple and story felt unique. Sometimes I feel like series can become formulaic and repetitive – I didn’t find this to true regarding Boston Underworld. Naturally, Queen J was right, and I adored Ronan, Hero in Reaper<\/a> (Book #2). He was my perfect mix of damaged and alpha. I enjoyed Ronan the most, but I still found myself enthralled throughout the entirety of the series.<\/p>\n

If you need a series to catch your attention, and you can tolerate some dark themes, I highly recommend the Boston Underworld series. Now I’ll just be over here stalking the author for updates on the next book…<\/p>\n
