"Messy, you my Orange Soda shorty." A girl dreams of a boy who tastes just like her favorite fruit and shortly becomes determined to draw him away from the demons that lurk under his bed.

She helped both the living and the dead in guiding ghosts to the other side. With the help of her mother and father, on their phenomenally popular television show. But those days are behind Taylor, she's 24 now and wants to live for herself. She's tired. But when a spirit reaches out through her dreams and guides her, eventually, to Volteria Italy she finds out that there exist the dead that those other than herself can see. One last spirit to help, one last episode of her parents program. And Taylor's free. That's the plan, and it doesn't include finding Taylor's undead fated mate. But, I mean, things happen. Otherwise there wouldn't be a story for you to read. Includes: Book 1: Till death (completed) Book 2: Subsequent death (ongoing) *Please be patient with my use of tenses. I have no idea why this story got me so messed up about them.
