Dark Alpha’s Redemption by Donna Grant Reapers #8 In this ongoing paranormal saga created by Donna Grant Bradach, a Reaper in the second group of Reapers is set a task. He is to find Xaneth, a royal fae who disappeared in battle. He is to approach Maeve, a dark fae, to get information that might lead to Xaneth’s location. There is instant attraction between Bradach and Maeve that is not acted upon till later in the story. There is plenty of action and skulduggery with good and evil pitted against one another. We glimpse some of the characters from the past books, too. Having read all of the Reapers series, a few of the books with dragons and not many of the others I have managed to piece together a fair understanding of what is going on and know that eventually there will be an ultimate showdown that will involve many groups (dragons, druids, fae, druids and perhaps others) to set the world aright. I am eager to find out how that will happen and who some of the main characters will end up with that have not found their mates. I have no idea how many more books are plotted before the end of this series but am eager to find out how it will all work out in the end. That said, I did find myself thinking...how much longer will this continue, when WILL it end and how many more of these books am I willing to read to find out? Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Paperbacks for the ARC – This is my honest review. 3-4 Stars

This story keeps you on your toes. The battles are still on, and Bradach must handle things. He isn't sure why they are testing his will however he is ready for the challenge. Until... Maeve is strong, determined and for the first time wants someone to trust her, in her. The magic that sizzles between these two is off the charts, they have chemistry immediately but it takes a bit of work to bring it all together. For true love can build and rebuild feelings long forgotten. And makes one realize that maybe just maybe not all rumors are true. Fantastic story.
