Quick Review
REAPER is the basically the back story of how Tod Hudson the bean sidhe, became the dealer of death that he is today. This novella gives us glimpse into the somewhat normal life of Tod and his brother, Nash. It's a story of choices, good and bad. It's a story of sacrifice. It's a story of loss. And a story of what is means to be family.
I first want to state for the record, I LOVE TOD HUDSON! And here I thought that there was no way that I could possible love him, more then I already did! Rachel Vincent proved me wrong, once again! The further I get in the Soul Screamer series, the more Tod seems to outshine is younger brothers. Tod makes the tough decisions, when other wouldn't. He may be snarky and sarcastic, but when it comes to the important things in life, his heart is in the right place.
This novella is full of hysterical one-liners, moments of deep despair, and hope for the future. I want to thank Rachel Vincent for the gift Tod truly is!

I love Tod. I love this story because we learn a lot of thing about Tod. I'm french, so it was a bit difficult to read it, but for Tod it's ok. Even if I was no good in english I can read a lot of thing about him. Loulou2a.
