Xaneth is a royal Light Fae. He has managed to survive his malevolent aunt’s torture; however, he did not escape entirely unscathed. Now he searches the world to eliminate evil, especially those in the Fae Other sec. Xaneth wants no one’s help, but a persistent Reaper follows his every move. Can Xaneth destroy Lena and the Fae Others? Will he embrace the monster within? And at what cost?

Aisling is a Dark Fae. She is also one of Death’s Reapers. Aisling knows she and her brethren need Xaneth to defeat Lena and the Fae Others. However, he wants nothing to do with them or their help. When she falls for Lena’s trap, Xaneth surprisingly comes to her aid. Can Aisling convince Xaneth to fully embrace his darker, monstrous side? Will she survive the final confrontation with Lena and the Fae Others?

For some reason, I got the impression that Aisling and Xaneth knew each other previously. That they shared a past but not a romantic one – mostly they knew each other prior to Aisling being a Reaper and Xaneth’s torture. I honestly do not know what gave me that feeling.

Xaneth and Aisling are survivors. Their past ordeals have left them broken psychologically and emotionally. They both have a tough time letting people in or trusting them.

I understand Xaneth’s need to keep people at arm’s length. He does not want any more people to get hurt or harmed. Xaneth knows what he needs to do is dangerous; he is willing to sacrifice his life to save others.

I have idly wondered what kind of betrayal Aisling endured to become a Reaper. In a way, I expected a more warrior-eque betrayal. However, it just proves that any, strong or weak, can face such abuse.

DARK ALPHA’S FURY is the sixteenth and final book in Donna Grant’s paranormal romance series, REAPER. This series ties into the author’s other series: DARK KINGS/DRAGON KINGS, DARK SWORD/DARK WARRIORS, and SKYE DRUIDS. Certain characters from the DARK King books make an appearance near the end of the story. The pages after the final confrontation felt like it dragged on. It quickly lost my interest.
