About this listen
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 #663
The heinous crimes of Jack the Ripper are known throughout the ages, yet his true identity remains shrouded in mystery. Scythe in hand, it falls to me to claim his soul. Who he is, I don’t care. What made him this way makes no difference. My lone goal is to ensure that he face final judgment.
Ring the bell and alert the Bobbies. It’s reaper versus Ripper, in a battle for the title of the true harbinger of death.

Story
With the king gone, the veil fell. Thrusting Carnage Crossing into a fresh hell. A city of the dead. A town built by demise. Torn apart by the livings’ whim to exorcise. The lineage was tracked, and followed to a royal heir. The fact she had a pulse, a shocking affair. Whisked through death’s door with grisly splendor. Her reign will begin, when ties to the past sever. Yet secrets slither in, with a venomous bite. Threatening to destroy all, when they come to light. Will the truth revealed bring peace to the dead? Or unleash the Corpse Queen to come for your head?

"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

My name's Lyra Ridley, and I run headlong into supernatural danger for a living. When a criminal has magic too dangerous to merely lock up, we send them to a blackout prison. Hell would've been a better destination for this guy. As a lowly cop in the LVMPD's Rapid Response unit, I'm used to dealing with all kinds of dumpster-fire scenarios, from drunk salamanders on a building-melting bender and angry manticore landlords threatening to eat tenants' gallbladders in lieu of payment to human summoners calling up monsters from the deep to impress their girlfriends to name a few.

Story
Five years ago, I masterminded the infamous massacre of the Tri-state Timberwolves. The streets outside the Wolves HQ ran red with the blood of the old guard, and not one of those members loyal to my father were spared mercy. Not a single one. I let the media twist and distort the story. My new recruits eagerly proved themselves in spreading false news, in covering our tracks. To the general public, the Tri-State Timberwolves were extinct. But that couldn’t have been further from the truth.

Now, I’m stuck dealing with a broodingly hot guy named Wesley St. John—who seems way too comfortable with murder. Definitely a red flag, right? Wes isn’t just some guy I stumbled upon—he’s a protector, but not the friendly kind. His job is to keep the supernatural world in check, and my ignorance is making things complicated.

more please
The book itself was a story of original twists that I was glued to from the first page. So when I saw it was in audio, I had to get a copy and see if the narrator was the cherry on the sundae or a discordant note in a beautiful song.
I'm happy to say Poopy's narration so ideally enhances the story in ways I can't even describe without spoiling it to be readers/listeners.
But I will say her lilting accented voice was so nice to the ears, I'll be seeing what other books she's lent her skills to.

Wow, this was just as amazing in audio as it was me reading it.
The characters were awesome!! My love for Nyx has not changed and she is still the best badass reaper that I have ever met!! My husband found the characters highly entertaining and he said that Nix was a blast to listen to. And I also still love A-hole as well as my husband.
The storyline was phenomenal. I loved how well written the story is and detailed each scene was. My husband found the story to be intriguing, fun and fascinating.
The narrator was absolutely perfect for this story. I could picture the characters in my mind as she changed her voice for each character that was introduced. She kept us interested and compelled to continue listening from beginning to end. We highly recommend this book!!

Fun and easy listen. Great way to start your day.
I loved the Narrator. Her British accent was a great extra for me in envisioning the Reaper and how she would actually be.
I love a good Stacey Rourke book. I always know I'm going to get a great story and a good time read. Stacey's books are always filled with drama and a bit of snark just like the her.
This book was just as I expected it would be. Just the thing to listen too when you are short on time and want something
great.
This book is about a Reaper who is known for her ability to catch the Souls of the most heartless and cruel know to man kind.
She is called upon when none other can do the job and she does it with a bit of Sass. This is her punishment for being one of the Fallen but she longs for atonement for her past wrong doings. Along with Lucifer and Ezekiel she goes after the Souls of the likes of Black Beard and the Ripper to bring them back for Lucifer to handle but his pain is nothing that she can bare anymore. She Loves him and wants nothing more then to free them from their punishment and return home to the Father but is that what he still wants too? Her felling's for him are being tested. Is she right in thinking that he is a good man inside that devilish attitude or is he really just a devil after all. On to the next book to find out more.
Definitely recommend.. You will not be disappointed.

Lizas review
Stacy does it again. She gives us another great story with a strong badass female lead. She is sarcastic and takes no crap. She’s not perfect. You can relate to her. Yes she’s a fallen angel (can’t relate) but she has a love interest who is throwing red flags (this I can relate too)
She’s not what you would picture as a reaper, but she’s clearly good at it.
The narrator made the characters come to life. Between her voice and the story itself you got a good feel of the characters.
As always she kept me guessing and wanting more. Couldn’t stop listening to the story.
Definitely cannot wait for book two.

Poppy Royana as Nix is BRILLIANT!
I was ensnared in the Reaper's charm after narrator Poppy Royana uttered her first words as Nyx. I cannot imagine anyone else as the Reaper now. Royana is brilliant.
This hauntingly poetic excerpt from Rourke's new series could easily be her best work yet. Nyx is a strong, powerful; yet broken reaper. My heart ached for her. Lucifer is every bit the male chauvinist I expected him to be. The group is rounded out with Ezekiel who is the voice of reason for the trio. I love the spin Rourke is putting on the good vs. evil, the Devil vs. God story. I cannot wait to see where this story goes.

I love Nix
I absolutely love everything I've ever read by this author. Her world building and character development are top notch. Nix is such a great character because she's totally badass but still flawed and that makes things so much more relatable. the narration was fantastic and I truly enjoyed listening to this story.
