The scoundrel is no less valuable than the saint.
Because of this, every life a reaper takes must be redeemed.
Raven has lived by this first tenet since she was trained by her father to become a reaper. But since his death, she’s been spending years redeeming the lives she’s taken. By her count, she’s even and it’s time for that life to end. If she settles down and becomes a wife, she might just feel human again. But on the way to the life she thinks she wants, the baron of New Haven asks her to complete a task which she cannot ignore… Just when Raven decides to give up on her life as an assassin, she’s pulled right back in.

*I received this book free in exchange for an honest review*
I actually enjoyed this book. A lot of stories you have a female lead who is supposed to be hard, but isn't. They end up weak and blah blah. I loved that Raven stands for something. This was a wonderful YA book. It was a clean read, exciting and held my interest all the way through. For someone like me who doesn't read Steampunk, it certainly showed me how good that genre can be. The book was well written and certain to keep anyone of all ages interested.
