Childhoodfriend Stories

People spent my childhood telling me I was too dark, too tall, and too ugly. My mama told me they were wrong. Then I met Tyron Ford. He was chubby, funny, missing a front tooth, and carried a basketball everywhere he went. Somehow, he became my best friend. For years, we were inseparable. Until one day... we weren't. Childhood friends. Family drama. Church gossip. First heartbreak. First love. This is the story of how we grew up. And how I learned that being loved by someone else means nothing if you don't love yourself first.

"Eternity means nothing to me if it means that I have to carry the guilt of destroying you." ----------------- Wylie Moore, a Reaper who clings to morality in the absence of life, has made a fatal choice. She's abandoned her oath, and neglected to collect a soul when its fated time came. When an unlikely ally joins her side-Finn Halstead, her silent sworn rival-a timeline is severed, and a soul spared. But the afterlife isn't what it seems, and their act of generosity is deemed a crime, pitting them against the commanding powers themselves for judgement. With a guilty verdict on their hands, it is decided that the two of them will be punished in the worst way possible for a Reaper: Resurrection. Thrust into the rural hometown Wylie grew up in, with her murderer still running free and her memory of her death severed, the two Reapers must navigate a twisting world of lies, ominous shadows with pointed teeth, a forced friendship, and their own growing feelings for one another. But Wylie's murderer remembers. They want her dead again-for good this time-and will stop at nothing to see it come to fruition, even if it costs the lives of others. A Reaper's greatest temptation is revenge. To succumb is to be destroyed. To Refuse is to suffer. Wylie will do anything to get back at her killer. Finn will do anything to atone for past mistakes. Even if it means destroying what he was sent to protect. Book One in the Between Eternity Duology (Can be read as a standalone)
