Eve didn't mean to die. She was just trying to stay away from her brother and his girlfriend while absolutely despising herself. Then the monster tore her apart. After waking up in what looks like a DMV, Eve is given the choice of doing public service, going to Hell for a while, or killing the monster that killed her. (Guess which one she chose!) With the help of Willa (her brother's girlfriend and, incidentally, the only living person who has been able to see her so far) and Ethan (a real incel-type that Eve can't stand), Eve races against the clock to kill the monster before it kills her and everyone else in the school. In this novel inspired by works like Beetlejuice and Buffy The Vampire Slayer, an undead teen comes to terms with the world around her, the afterlife, and the reality of herself-- all while trying to stay alive. "A novel about killing the thing that killed you. What does it mean to grieve a life you never got to live? Who do we leave behind? Why is Ethan such a sleazebag?" (The Mature rating is for violence and swearing. There, most likely, won't be smut in this.)

Nineteen-year-old Marin Larkin has been working as a personal assistant for her famous sister Liv for the past year. Even though Marin and Liv are close, Marin has always felt like she doesn't belong in her sister's world - that she isn't good enough. When Marin's family moved to Los Angeles four years earlier, Marin naively fell in love with Connor O'Quinn, a boy who worked with Liv on both of their first movies. But soon after, Connor became a Hollywood heartthrob, and Marin's love turned to hate. Liv and Connor are now working together again for the first time in four years on a movie in Toronto, and Marin can't help but feel like she is right back to her fifteen-year-old self after years of pushing him away. The story weaves back through the years of their distant friendship and reveals what Connor must overcome to show Marin he is no longer the seventeen-year-old boy he once was. But Marin has never realized that her point of view isn't the whole truth, and she has never even considered Connor's.
