History knows me by many names. Nyx, the Goddess of Night. Lilith, the Lady of Darkness. Selaphiel, the fifth angel of God. But the course of my life has been determined by my greatest mistake. I opened the gate and allowed Lucifer to fall. Booted from Heaven for my sin, I serve my penance as a reaper. By collecting history’s most twisted souls, I work to one day earn my ticket home.
Case #664
She took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks, and now... Death is coming for Lizzie Borden. Is she innocent? Guilty? I don’t know or care. Reapers have gone missing on their hunt to harvest the soul of the notorious axe murderer and I can’t afford to let my guard down. Scythe gripped tight, I’m marching into the past to deliver final judgement to Lizzie’s doorstep.
Borden may have a creepy ass rhyme, but I’m an ex-angel with nothing but time. Her father got forty-one whacks, now it’s time she learns reaping is the real pain in the axe.

Review
Rourke's sharp tongue and quick wit lends a hauntingly poetic, albeit humorous, prose to her new series, Fear the Reaper.
The veil is lifting and Nyx is finally seeing things a bit more clearly. (It's about time!) Lucifer is up definitely up to something wicked. In Reaping a Pain in the Axe, Nyx is faced with the challenge of reaping the soul of Lizzie Borden. Desparate to see the good in people, Nyx just might lose her head, literally.
I'm so glad these novellas drop every 30 days because that ending left me with far more questions than answers. Wowzers!
