Of Rain and Wrath, (The Death Whisperer)
Katie May
It's a...Reverse Harem
I was born under the shadow of death, and my life since has been intricately entwined with that of the Grim Reaper. They call me the Death Whisperer. One hand fixes; the other breaks. All I have ever known is a life full of pain and suffering, because what the legends don’t tell you about my power…is that there’s always a price. And I’m the one who has to pay it. My powers took my voice from me, and every day, I’m forced to experience unbearable agony. But my suffering doesn’t stop the fae of our realm from using me and my gifts, regardless of the consequences. The princes who rule the various kingdoms are rumored to be cold-blooded and vicious, with no regard to fae life. They take what they want, when they want it, in the hopes of hurting each other in the process. But what if the thing they all want… Is me? Some want to use me, others want to love me, and others still want to destroy me. The problem is, there’s not a lot left of me to use, love, or destroy. Death has whispered to me for years now, and I think it’s finally time I started listening. This is book one of a series and will end on a minor cliffhanger. It is slow-burn and slow-build and has enemies-to-lovers themes (though no bullying). The men of this series are psychotic, possessive, and deranged antiheroes who take what they want, when they want it, regardless of the consequences. They care about absolutely no one...except for the FMC, though they'll have to work hard to win her over. Triggers include—abuse, mentions of past sexual assault (but none in the present), and murder.


Katie May is another one of those authors that I know will produce something that I will enjoy.
There is just something about her writing that pulls me in and I can't wait to see what happens next.
Of Rain and Wrath was one of those books that after I read the blurb, I immediately dived in.

Kassandra has only ever known the life as a slave.
Forced to heal others by her Madam while taking on their injuries for herself.
But that isn't her only talent.
She can also kill with just a touch as well.
Because of her dual abilities, she hasn't been treated well. Going so far as to be a mute.
That all changes the day she stumbles upon a man who declares her his mate.


We met two potential members of the harem.
Blaze, who is an alphahole.
We actually see his POV a few times so there is no misunderstanding what it is he wants.
Let's just say it's not rainbows and sunshine for our little Kass.
I'm on the fence of how this will work in the future pertaining to a certain aspect of what he wants (if he goes through with it, I'll be VERY upset).
Then we have Treyton who is a character in himself as well.
He uses a fake smile and persona to get what he wants out of people.
We shall see how this all plays out for him in the end.


This is definitely a slow burn book.
There is a lot of background and scene building in this book.
We will rely heavily on future books to understand what is happening.
But this is a really interesting concept for a book plot, as well as the characters, and I'm intrigued to see where things lead for them.
Hopefully we won't have to wait too long for book two though I haven't seen anything yet on a preorder date.

Book two has not been announced.
