SYNOPSIS:
Alexi June was your average teenage delinquent-he had an attitude, could see ghosts, an addiction to cigarettes, and he passed his time committing petty crimes. But what would become of him-on the night his sister was to die, when a grim reaper appears before him and splits her soul in two to save his life. With this new power, and new responsibility, his eyes have been opened to a whole new world; of which he had only ever before seen pieces.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
BLURB:
Before Alexi knew what was happening, the reaper had him cradled in her arms as she kneeled next to him. She gripped his face firmly in front of her and let her lips fall open just a little as she used her thumb to pull his mouth open while using the other hand to pinch his nose shut. She leaned into him further, their lips just barely touching as she let out a shallow breath.
A glowing, red ball of light slowly fluttered out of her mouth and Alexi couldn't help but suck it in-his body reacted without his permission. Swallowing hard, he felt his esophagus burn and his lungs were set ablaze. The pain was intense enough that it started pulling his mind back out of the haze. There was a burning sensation that had him choking and with every breath he pulled in, it grew, forcing him to cough out what looked and tasted like ash.
"In order to protect your life, I have just shared my soul with you. You now have my ability to reap the spirits of the living and purify those which are tainted. Alexi June, you will live."
"I love you," Jack smiled.
They looked at each other for what felt like a decade.
"...No. No you don't." Willow rolled her eyes.
"It seemed like the part of our fight where I should say it," he smirked, only making her anger rise.
"Why are you doing this?" His expression faltered for a second as he heard the fear in her voice. "Treating me like this? Do you hate me or something? Or do you just not care if I live or die?"
His eyes widened briefly before he shook his head.
"I don't hate you, or want you to die. But I can't like you either. Humans live a short life, I live forever." He paused, taking a breath. "I can't let myself get attached to someone that will just die on me, or put you in danger," Jack sighed, scratching his neck.
Something in his voice made Willow believe this wasn't his words, but rather, words he had been told.
When Willow made a deal with a reaper to save her little brother, she never expected to end up as one's bloodbag.
Or, as Jack likes to call her, 𝙋𝙚𝙩.
Join Willow on her journey as she discovers the hidden supernatural world that has been right under her nose for longer than she even remembers.
One where love is forbidden and can get you killed.
And pray to Death for her soul, because 𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘯, she's gonna need it.
