★★The description listed isn't really accurate. The "one last kiss" is mentioned, but predates this story and is known only because it is mentioned passively. It contributes motivation, but otherwise doesn't seem to impact the story.I love the driving idea behind the plot, that Jack the Ripper is a supernatural being disrupting fate by attacking and murdering women before their time. I like reapers as protagonists. I enjoy Mason and the tension of trying to decide whether he's a good guy or a bad guy. I have serious issues with Lily, though. She seems to have difficultly holding on to more than one thought or emotion at a time. No matter how angry she's feeling, the moment the Mason touches her she's so overcome with lust she goes against her own thoughts and feelings as expressed mere moments before. She's wishy-washy and insubstantial, and that turns me off as a reader.There is an exceptionally hot sex scene in this short story, but overall I couldn't relate to the characters and the story didn't resonate with me.
