Title: Reaper's Rhythm

Rating: 3/5 Stars
Review: I received this E-ARC free from the author in exchange for an honest review.
I really liked the first half of this book, it was fast paced and I really enjoyed the "solving crime" aspect of this book. The second half, not so much. Reaper's Rhythm went from an awesome crime, mystery to an angel/ magic mess. For myself I found that their wasn't enough background on the different species. "The creator made three different species", but it wasn't really explained at all. "Just weave the magic and the music", I found it very confusing. I liked the story better in the first half.
The characters were okay. I would have liked to know more about Tia and why she found others so threatening. I would have enjoyed her POV throughout the story. I couldn't really relate to these characters because I don't think that I would have acted the same way the characters did. I wished they had been more developed.
Reaper's Rhythm was an okay read. I'm not sure that I would continue the series because it wasn't really for me. But for readers who enjoy crime, mystery and paranormal all in one then this is a great choice for you to read.
