If there's such a thing as luck, Lily Harper definitely doesn't have it.
Killed in a car accident before it's her time to go, Lily learns that the hereafter isn't exactly what she hoped it might be.
First, there's AfterLife Enterprises...
Learning that Lily's death was indirectly their fault, Afterlife Enterprises offers Lily the chance to live again but beware the fine print. Most notably, Lily will become a soul retriever, venturing into the bowels of the Underground City to retrieve souls that were mistakenly sent there during a Y2K glitch.
Second, there's angel Bill...
As if risking her second life in the Underground City wasn't enough, Lily's guide is none other than her incompetent, alcoholic, womanizing guardian angel, Bill. Lily's future isn't looking bright.
Finally, there's the legendary bladesmith, Tallis Black...
As Scottish as his kilts and heavy brogue, Tallis Black is a centuries-old Celt who, for reasons only known to him, offers to train Lily and act as her escort into the depths of the Underground City. Dark, brooding and definitely dangerous, Lily knows she shouldn't trust Tallis, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Between soul retrieving in hell, dealing with Bill and trying to figure out what's in it for Tallis, Lily wonders if maybe she would've just been better off dead.

"...and a little bird told me our king has been spending too much time in Purgatory, meeting with certain archangels." I was sure I didn't hear him correctly. "Lucifer and the archangels? Purgatory? I'll entertain your insanity, carry on." I tried not to laugh, crossing my arms over my chest. "He's there... you can't locate him even if you try, but I know. And there are too many angels there, living angels." Callum said. "They're hiding something, Ian. Deep enough in Purgatory that it's impossible to find." *** Megan had no idea she was the one being hidden... the one that could change everything. Caught between angels and demons, some more alluring than others, she's forced into a new reality that shatters the world she thought she knew. Who is she?

She says demons haunt the night, inflecting everything in their path. But where I come from demons don't just lurk around the shadows. They breed in your head. Feasting on your soul until you cease to exist. And, mine just woke up infested in wicked lies. Till death do us apart, little soul. BOOK 2: Girls like them are expected to dance to the tune of evil. To smile with the taste of souls in their veins and vengeance in their hearts. To feed the ghosts and the monsters within them. Discarded by the world and hidden in a maze of twisted creatures, I'm barely holding into my sanity, trapped between the past and the present. Between good and evil. Until one day I no longer recognize myself or them. He says he can see beyond the evil that I am. But it's not him that my madness prevails for or HIM. Because I'm starting to hear their tune, dancing to destruction and chaos. BOOK 3: There's a reason buried things should always stay buried. Like my mistakes. Your past. Now the grave is open and corpses are crawling out. Corpses inflicted with lies and betrayals. Corpses that you pull the strings of, corpses that even Hell is afraid to take. You see, little soul, you think that makes you the monster in our story. But you forgot me. You forgot my promise. Our story might have ended with till death do us apart. But even death has a shadow to lose.Complete
