The Shamrock Killer by moiraeilis

Book 1 of the Green Blood Trilogy: The Shamrock Killer 'I realized my body was settling into fight or flight mode. I slowed my pace down, stumbling along the wall of the viewing room, feeling my way into the inky darkness as I watched my fingers disappear and I turned into the reception room beside it. Only one more room to go. Tendrils of black reached out in a deadly embrace as I stepped forward and my skin prickled while my imagination ran wild, and fear constricted my heart tighter. The cold was back and sharper than ever, ready to cut like a knife. In that singular moment, I felt something. Another presence. Someone, something, was in here with me. And not something or someone alive.' A chain of unsettling murders is the new reality for Maureen O'Flanigan. Each body is left for Maureen to discover alone at her family's funeral home, and it seems as if Death itself is hopelessly attracted to Maureen as a moth is to a burning light. Add a Goddess of Death and a talking shape-shifting raven with dangerous green eyes into the mix, and Maureen makes herself a promise to find the Shamrock Murderer and save her family before it is too late to even save herself.

For Those Who Don't Believe in Love Songs by david_hull

GROUNDHOG DAY mixed with SIXTEEN CANDLES and a splash of DOCTOR WHO. A boy forever reincarnated as himself meets his soulmate for the 200th time, but can she solve the puzzle and break the curse to make herself his last? ***** Martha Beckett's life is over, or so it feels after her father moves her from California to Illinois in the middle of her junior year of high school. But on her first day in her new school, she finds a peculiar boy waiting for her. James is cute, friendly, and obviously too good to be true. Her skepticism proves justified after he confides in her his secret: after he dies, he is reincarnated as himself to live his life again and again and again... Retaining all knowledge and skill acquired in his previous lives and with a general understanding of future events, James is effectively superhuman. And while Martha enjoys the inherent perks of associating with such a boy, she comes to learn of the despair and exhaustion underneath it all. With no permanent consequence or hope of release, James struggles to stave off nihilism with Martha his one tether to humanity. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE SONGS is, in fact, a love story, albeit a complicated one. Can Martha reconcile with the fact that James has loved hundreds of other Marthas before her and will most likely love hundreds thereafter? Is James' choice to engage and confide in Martha irresponsible and selfish? Would she be better off living her life unaware of the cosmic freak who has loved her for millennia?
