(Cover may change but im ok with this for now)
Only child, dad-less at birth, mom-less at 15, and her best (and only) friend leaving her at 21 to find his dad, Pearl Adams is as lonely as one can get. Doesn't help that she loves black, dark humor, and lives alone in a creepy old house. It seems like she's destined to be a loner. Until she lights a certain candle.
Then she's a loner who can see ghosts.
(If you ever get confused by the time or place here, it's an "A Series Of An Unfortunate Events" type of deal, aka its no specfied era.)

The Rapture
Pearl Blankenship, an autistic investigative journalist, witnesses the end of the world. Before the nuclear fallout can kill her, a mysterious being offers her a choice: come with him or stay on a dying planet Earth. **** Dumuzi, the being who offered, is an Anunnaki: a descendant of humankind's ancient alien creators. It is his mission to wipe out what remains of humanity in a few short weeks, sparing only those with a thirst for knowledge and moral character. After becoming a journalist, Pearl was mocked online, arrested for trespassing, and challenged globally for her conspiracy theories. Two things she knows for a fact: mankind deserves a second chance, and staying on Earth sounds... well, hazardous. She hopes that by getting closer to Dumuzi, she might be able to change his mind about humanity, as he is a councilman with power. But it isn't going to be easy. Communicating? It's difficult for her. And he is cold, wary of humans, and has weeks left to live due to an illness that plagues him. The more time she spends with him, the more his illness accelerates, and the more steamy attractions ignite into something seriously dangerous. The clock is ticking.

She got bullied, her home life wasn't exactly steady and she didn't have many friends, but all that was okay, because she had her best friend right there with her, Gerard. But Gee had been suffering from depression for a long time, and to Hadley's horror, took his own life. Hadley's whole world is flipped upside down, she's sent wild with grief at the loss of her best friend who'd promised to be there for her, she hates herself for not doing more to save him. However, Hadley is sent to an even darker place when her best friend returns, yup, as a ghost. He informs her he's stuck between Earth and the After Life, and he thinks he'll be able to leave if he helps Hadley recover.

Never
Life hasn't been simple for Lois in a long time - little did she know she was born complicated - her whole family were. Sometimes things happen for a reason, I mean if she didn't have Jessie inside of her (a reincarnated ghost) she'd probably never meet her soul mate Aiden or be able to help out Cameron the ruler of the dark part to the Afterlife; then again neither he or Aiden are the true rulers no that title belongs to someone else. The true leader manipulated Cameron, so now he basically has an army of ghosts willing, to destroy Earth and the whole of Afterlife so he can reshape it to his liking. As usual those who can see the dead seem to get sucked into the havoc, Lois and her friends are about to embark on a journey to save Earth, the Afterlife and possibly free Cameron...who knows you'll have to read it to find out. Oh and add soul mates into the mix and family - lovely recipe this. *Images used in the cover belong to their rightful owners, no copyright infringement intended*Complete
