Never Fear the Reaper by Ashley Pagano
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Never Fear the Reaper by Ashley Pagano was a great paranormal story. I’m a sucker for a good ghost hunting type book and I was not disappointed. This is my first book by this author but definitely won’t be my last. I adore her writing style and I adore the characters in this book. I can’t wait to read others. 4 star rating.

Never Fear the Reaper is the first book in the Never Fear the Reaper Series by Ashley Pagano. It is a great paranormal story with supernatural elements, action and adventure- and has a Buffy the Vampire Slayer vs Ghostbusters feel to it.
Ms. Pagano is a new-to-me author and I have very much enjoyed my first experience of her work. I was initially attracted the book by the intriguing cover, then when I read the blurb, I knew I had to read it. I will happily read anything she produces- because I know she will take me on a fantastic journey.
We begin this book with Chase meeting up with a mysterious woman who he hopes can help him with a problem that has his family quite unsettled. You see, his mother makes a living flipping houses- buying old, tired houses and transforming them into stylish ‘new’ homes. The latest flip house seems to have much bigger issues than they could have ever imagined- there have been many unexplainable disturbances and events that have put them all on edge… it appears to be haunted by quite a nasty spirit, who seems to have singled out Chases younger sister and relishes in tormenting her at every given opportunity. So, Chase takes it upon himself to find a solution to the problem and hopes that Ryder will be the answer they are looking for. But when he lays eyes on her for the first time, she is nothing like what he was expecting, he’s immediately attracted and intrigued by her- but doubts that she would be able to help with their ‘problem’. But, with no other options, Chase decides to see what she can do. What he witnesses when Ryder does her ‘thing’ will set Chase on an adventure that will change his life forever. What does he witness? Who, or what is Ryder? Why can Chase ‘See’ what she can, when others can’t? What happens when he offers to ‘help’ her? All these answers and so much more can be found by reading this absorbing tale. If you love a great paranormal story that will hold your attention, has an interesting storyline and engaging characters, then look no further because this book has what you what- it really is worth your time and money.
Bring on book two!
Thank you, Ms. Pagano!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Never Fear the Reaper (A Never Fear the Reaper Series Book 1) by Ashley Pagano is an original read that is full of non stop action and the paranormal/supernatural. What happens when you cross humans and ghosts, poltergeists and demons? Fun, yes fun, helping them move on in some cases but making them move on is the more difficult task. The witty banter, the sarcasm, the unusual and the romance make for one interesting and engrossing read. The Reaper has never looked so good and what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. The main characters find themselves up against some heavy hitters and in more danger than they thought possible but can they survive or will they need unsuspecting help?
Never Fear the Reaper is a well written page turner with nonstop action so if you love supernatural/paranormal then you will love this.

Never Fear the Reaper is the first in the series by Ashley Pagano. This is a science fiction/fantasy story that edges the boundaries of what is real and what is just beyond what you thought truly existed. Ashley Pagano has crafted an intriguing story line and a small cast of characters that spin this story in a way that stands away from other stories within this genre. While the story is predominantly science fiction, it is woven with a steady dosing of humor, sarcasm, and attractiveness. Chase and Ryder are the main characters and the ride that they are chasing is full throttle thrilling. The additional characters that come in through parts of the story are just the perfect mix to make this story addictive to read.
