I never thought death would give me a second chance—especially not one soaked in darkness. 

After technically dying in a crash, I wake up with this annoying craving for souls and a grim new gig as a reaper. Yeah, fun times. Now I’m stuck in a life that’s spiraling out of control, losing pieces of my humanity with every soul I steal. 

And the worst part? 

The only thing that makes the hunger bearable is the very thing turning me into... well, something not very human. 

Enter Carter, the guy who saved my life. He’s all light and goodness—naturally, he’s my polar opposite. With every soul I claim, the shadows tighten around me, especially after I reap the soul of my charming (read: abusive) ex. Now I’m forced to face the ugly truth: I’m turning into something monstrous.

Can Carter’s whole ‘light and hope’ thing really pull me back, or am I destined to become the darkness I’ve been running from?
