Falling in love? Check. Falling in love with someone who's very much alive? Check. Consequence? You don't technically have a pulse. Meet Salem Cross, ironic name if you think about it seeing as Salem is what you would call a Grim Reaper. You know hooded cloak, sharp pointy scythe, skeleton body. Scratch off the skeleton body and you've got yourself a walking teenage death who is trying to survive his new year at Death Academy. Then walks in the beautiful and very much alive, AJ Graves. She's feisty, adorable, lovable but also irritating and a walking bitch when she wants to be. These two do not under any circumstances like each other but all that's about to change when they are forced to work together to save themselves and everyone around them. No pressure. But what happens when Salem finds out why a living girl is at a Academy for the dead?
