For
thousands of years, Death walked behind the dark veil of the living, waiting to
ferry the dead. That is, until the day that Death took a life for pleasure
rather than duty. On that day, the first Reaper fell to Earth. Now,
Reapers live among us, craving the taste of death, forcing them to kill to
satisfy their immortal hunger.
Giles
Reid fell more than 300 years ago starving for the taste of death, only to find
himself drowning in a sea of the living and blinded by a hunger that forces him
to kill. In the centuries since his fall he has tried to be more human,
desperate to live a life that makes up for what he is and the wrong he has
done. Driven by his guilt over killing, he has chosen to feed only on
evil; humans that have never been a threat to him but who are always a danger
to others. That is, until the day he tries to feed on a human as strong, fast
and cunning as himself; a human who, it turns out, has been hunting him. Now he
is being pursued by the very evil he has fed on for centuries, embroiled in a
deadly cat-and-mouse game, where friends and other Reapers connected to him are
simply pawns on a chessboard waiting to be sacrificed. Giles is left with a choice,
save the life of the women he loves, the daughter of his mentor, or betrays her
for his own survival.
To
save the woman he loves, Giles will have to be the monster he is.

Character Interview with Giles:
1.
What is your favorite scene in the book?
Giles: That is really a tough question to answer because I do so enjoy my playtime.
Certainly my time at Stars was memorable, but killing the rapist, well, what
could be more fun on Tuesday night.
2.
What's your favorite word?
Giles: Coffee. Has there ever been a more beautiful word. I get the chills just
thinking about having a cup.
3.
Harry Potter or Twilight?
Giles: A much as the world needs more daylight disco balls walking around, I’m
going to have to go with Harry Potter.
4.
Truth or Dare?
Giles: Dare, please!
5.
Night owl or early bird?
Giles: I’m very much a night owl. I catch my best snacks at night.
6. Craziest thing you ever
ate?
Giles: Jack the Ripper. That guy was a raving loon. Everyone kept speculating
he was some serial killer mastermind, but in reality, he was just Polish whack
job. He was like a walking cartoon character with bulging eyes and a really
pronounced limp.
7.
Favorite smell?
Giles: There are two that come immediately to mind, death of course, but the
other, coffee. I love the smell of coffee. Flavored, unflavored, bitter, sweet,
it doesn’t matter.
