Review: ALEXIARES by N.J. Walters


ALEXIARES (Blackwell Brothers’ Redemption Book 2) by N.J. Walters

Publication Date: November 10, 2025

Genre: Paranormal Romance

From New York Times bestselling author N.J. Walters comes the tale of Death’s second son…in this energetic, paranormal small-town romance that’s deadly irresistible!

Some find redemption. Others land in it.

One moment, Alexiares Blackwell was reaping yet another human soul and gunning through New York City on his Harley. The next, he’s dropped into the path of an oncoming car in the small town of Redemption.

It turns out his dear old dad—the Grim Reaper himself—has decided that Alex needs a crash course in humanity. Literally. Now he’s stuck in a nowhere town with nothing but his motorcycle and some serious parent issues.

But no one messes with Death. Not even his sons.

Stripped of his powers, Alex is trying to figure out what his father wants from him—all while attempting to resist his increasingly complicated attraction to inn owner Cilla Wainwright. Alex can’t risk anything that resembles feelings…not even when she surprises him with a kiss that unravels him in ways he still can’t figure out.

Because Alex has a job to do.

And it’s starting to look a lot like the next soul he’s supposed to reap…is hers.

Each book in the Blackwell Brothers Redemption series is STANDALONE:
* Samael
* Alexiares

I’m really enjoying this series. The Blackwell Brothers Redemption series a unique twist on paranormal reaper love stories. It’s about a trio of brothers and this one is the middle brother’s story. Alex and Cilla run into each other and there are instant sparks. There’s spice, danger and suspense. I highly recommend this book for paranormal romance lovers looking for a new series to dive into. I’m hooked and can’t wait for the next book.

Review: SAMAEL by N.J. Walters


SAMAEL (Blackwell Brothers’ Redemption #1) by N.J. Walters

Publication Date: April 21, 2025

Genre: Paranormal Romance

Synopsis

Love her. Protect her. Reap her soul.

Samael Blackwell is the son of Death—and he’s officially out of chances. After centuries of reaping souls with zero regard for the rules, his father sends him to the dead-end town of Redemption. With only a few hundred bucks and the clothes on his back, Sam has one last shot to prove he can do the job right: reap with compassion, or lose everything.

It should’ve been easy. Find the soul. Finish the job. Walk away.

Then he meets Adrianne Sharp.

She’s strong, guarded, and hiding from a past that refuses to stay buried. The connection between them is instant—and impossible. Because Adrianne isn’t just anyone. She’s his assignment.

And her soul’s on the clock.

To win back his old life, all Sam has to do is watch her die. But what if the cost of redemption…is her?

He was sent to end her story. But she just might rewrite his.

I really loved this one. N.J. Walter’s SAMAEL is a unique twist on a reaper paranormal love story with lots of spice, danger and great characters. I felt very emotionally connected to Adrianne and Sam.  It hooked me and I can’t wait for books for Sam’s brothers next. SAMAEL is not connected to any of her other series and this is the first book to start off this series.  I highly recommend this book for paranormal romance lovers looking for an original storyline. I love N.J. Walters’ books.
