Unputdownable Urban Fantasy that will wreck you

Hi, I'm Deb.
Molotov cocktail in Hello Kitty packaging
Lover of vengeance & smut
Thank you for giving Keres (and me) a chance.
If you love stories of vengeance that blur the lines between good and evil, and right and wrong, with rage-filled heroines willing to tear gods apart to set themselves free, then I’m your girl.
I shine a light on the trauma—the pain, unraveling, and secrets—we’re expected to hide behind forced smiles and silence.
I don't flinch, and I won't apologize.
So if you’re hungry to be captivated, thrilled, and left gasping for breath as you turn just one more page, then welcome.
I am a Molotov cocktail with a world to light on fire.
Come burn with me.
About My Books
Soul Reaper
by D.B. Smyth
Published by: Balance of Seven
Publication Date: Oct 2023

———————————————
I DON’T SAVE LIVES. I TAKE THEM.
MAYBE TOMORROW SOMEONE WILL TAKE MINE.
NOT LIKELY. BUT ONE CAN HOPE.
———————————————
Isolation.
Carnage.
Sanity wrung from the soul like ichor from a blood-soaked cloth.
Keres never imagined this would be her fate when she bound herself as an Angel of Death over a thousand years ago. She only wanted the power to avenge her murdered family. What she got was an eternity of violence—reaping souls for a God who has forsaken her.
But when a reaping goes to shit and Daemon assassins attack, Keres is forced to face a truth she was never meant to know—her contract to take souls is actually destroying her own.
Now she must choose: trust the very monsters sent to kill her, or accept that her next reaping may be her last.
Soul Reaper is a dark urban fantasy about immortal rage, dangerous desires, and a girl who just might break the world to save herself.
(For, as Keres knows all too well, immortality doesn’t save you from pain—it gives you longer to drown in it.)
