Book Title: Death Dealer
Series Title & Book #: A Death Angel Novella—Book 1
Author: Ashley Robertson
Published: July 1, 2013
Genre: Adult/Paranormal/Romance
Book Blurb:
Death: a word Mia Baron was all too familiar with
since the murder of her parents when she was a young girl. Her drive for
vengeance was the reason she became a Death Dealer—a soul guide through the
spirit realm—signing her life away in her own blood. Pain forged a concrete
wall around her heart and no one or nothing would ever penetrate it…until she
got what she desired most—revenge.
Deacon Gage craves justice for his own horrific
tragedy that forced him into the same life Mia chose, with the same promise of
vengeance dangling just out of reach. His expert training makes him an
Elite—one of the few Death Dealers to ever achieve such a status—and no one can
shift his focus from the blood he seeks.
But when the two are partnered for yet another
job and a heart-shattering case rips open Mia’s heart, Deacon realizes he’s the
only one who can save her…at a price that might be too much to pay: opening his
heart to her. The clock is ticking and her life hangs on the balance of whether
he can truly let go or will hold onto his desire for blood.

My Review:
Mia is
out for a vengeance. After her parents were brutally murdered(which she dint find out for awhile) she signed on to be a death dealer with the promise of
collected the murderer soul and sending him to hell. I totally feel for Mia if
this happened to me I would be out for major vengeance also. However I think
this has allowed walls being put up that she needs to put down especially with
Deacon.
Deacon
clearly has a crush on Mia. They have been working together on some cases since
she became a death dealer and he has teased her the entire time. Come on an
obvious giveaway to him liking her even if he has been doing nothing but
denying it. Deacon is an Elite Death Dealer and he signed on for pretty much
the same reasons as Mia except for it wasn't his parents it was his younger
sister.
Right
from the start of this book I noticed these two had a connection, from their
vengeance, to reasons they signed up to be Death Dealers in the beginning.
They clearly are meant for each other. The good thing is sparks finally start
to fly for these two and they finally realize they are meant to be when he
helps her deliver her grandmother to heaven and is also there for her when she
collects the soul of her parents killer.
There are
many twists and turns in this story for it being a novella which i loved. I
love when a novella can be written and still have you on the edge of your seat.
However i feel it was also lacking some stuff. Yes we know why they became
death dealers but that's pretty much it. We know that they eventually fall for
each other and even though there was spark i feel it could have had more. Also
maybe a romance scene or something. I felt that it was just lacking a bit and
that why I gave this book a 4 star rating.
Other
then that it was a good short read and I had it read in one night, like i said
many twists and turns that make it suspenseful. If your looking for a short supernatural read then this is your book!
