The Fear the Reaper series by Brent Towns kicked off in 2019 with Reaper vs. Ripper and has grown to ten books over six years. The pace has been steady — two books a year in 2022 and 2023, with another pair arriving in 2025 — giving the series a tight, ongoing feel rather than the long waits common in action fiction.
The titles alone tell you what to expect: Death Stalker, Dead Tomorrow, Die This Day. The series leans hard into its action roots, with names that signal high stakes and a body count. Kane, the tenth entry, marks the most recent chapter in a run that shows no signs of slowing down. Starting from the beginning with Reaper vs. Ripper is the right call, as the characters carry through from book to book.
