Ok! I just finish this book and guys; I freaking love it.

This book has everything you can ask for and more. The is so well written and the Characters, OMG the Characters I love Amelie and Kane so much.

If you're looking for an amazing YA Book with a great world-building, incredible story, and amazing, strong characters this is the book you're looking for.

Spanish Review:

Una de las primeras cosas que puedo decir de este libro es la forma en la que la historia se desenvuelve, todos los secretos que poco a poco de van descubriendo conforme la historia avanza.

Este es un libro que definitivamente tienen que leer, 100% recomendado.

¡Feliz Lectura!

SYNOPSIS
Nineteen-year-old Amelie Weathers wishes she could live like a normal girl, yet each day she is reminded of what will never be. In the world of Indivix Corp, powers dictate your entire life-from your job, to how people perceive you-and with Amelie’s uniquely dangerous indicting, she would be executed on the spot if her secret was revealed.

I really enjoyed The DeathReaper, a lot. This is the first book of The DeathReaper series, written in a modern setting with sci-fi and fantasy. The plot is a fast pace with a lot of twists and turns, it drew me in and kept me going. It has a plot driven narrative (for some who like Character driven more this may not be your cup of tea) which I loved. It had a little character driven enough to keep you reading more to find out more and more about these characters but focused more on the plot driven, the action, cause, and effect.

With having a worldwide government that tells you if your indicium(A part of you that lives within you) is too strong or is not a class they want around they will do anything to make sure that you’re wiped off the map.

Your main characters like Amelie and Kane, you start to see small changes in their relationship, a softer, kinder side of Kane and you see Amelie change from a soft timid woman to someone who is starting to feel comfortable in her own skin.

I cannot wait for the next book, so many unanswered questions I have, and I must know the answers.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read this book and give my honest opinion of the book. Thank you, Freya Daree, for writing a great book.

A complete rollercoaster of a read. Starts of nice and slow and then you're hit with the deep dive followed by twists and turns. Spectacular in every way!

This book hooks you right away! The Death Reaper is a wonderful combination of modern world and magic. I love that there is science involved, however, the scientists are largely the bad guys which I feel is fairly typical in mystery style books. There are tons of twists and turns, betrayals and new friendships. This book is categorized as Teen/YA but I feel that people of any age would enjoy it. It's a fun, quick read.

OMG the characters I love Amelie and Kane so much. It has great world building, and unfolds beautifully.I love the growth Amelia experiences from the beginning of the story Amelia didn't enjoy much due to people judging her and intentionally hurting her. Do yourselves a favor and read it.

I really enjoy the storyline about Amelie. The young girl lived some where that didn’t care much for her or her powers. She was always put down, Finally she meets someone like her with the same powers. This a book i would recommend but a few thing should of been changed or though out a bit more. But overall an enjoyable read.

This was a really good read.
I enjoyed it thoroughly, it was alight fun read and I will anticipate its sequel

Amelie Weathers is a dangerous person, all because she has the power of the DeathReaper. A power she didn't want and that her parents resent her for. We follow as she learns about her powers from Kane Blackwell who is also a DeathReaper.

I thought this was a very interesting concept. We are introduced to a world of indivyms- powers that are in your DNA and control your job outlooks. However, I felt that the explanations were very lackluster and confusing. I didn't feel very connected to Amelie and her character was not very interesting to me.

However, her mentor and new host Kane were very interesting. As Amelie is exposed to his past via memories now that their souls are entwined was cool to read. I felt he was a much more fleshed-out character.
I cant wait to see where their journey leads them
