In Kathy-Lynn Cross’s So Shall I Reap, Tevin is a Grim Reaper called an Ashen, one of the daemons who harvest souls for the River Styx. Sent to collect a child after a Las Vegas car crash, he stops when seven-year-old Alexcia Stasis looks directly at him and says his name. Alexcia is a Child-of-Balance, born to an angel and a daemon, with power that could alter the Unseen. Ten years later, Alexcia knows none of this. She only knows that nightmares keep drawing her toward a shadowy figure. When a night out ends in another devastating crash, Alexcia survives as the supernatural world closes around her. Tevin must protect her before the entities already hunting her reach her first.
“You reap what you sow, right? So Shall I Reap.” Kathy-Lynn Cross’s So Shall I Reap is a brilliant supernatural fantasy, and Cross makes death feel like an entire working society. The Unseen is completely fleshed out, especially through the Cauldron of Ending, where Grim Reaper clans receive names from the River Styx before collecting souls for Bridge Crossers. Tevin is brilliant, and Cross gives him a wickedly funny voice; he can battle elementals in his winged Smolder form, then complain about another destroyed cell phone. Alexcia is wonderfully written too, with her friendship with Jake keeping the human side of the story present even as her own powers begin breaking through. Well written and haunting, readers who enjoy supernatural fantasy that dances with the macabre will adore this.
