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.All Rights Reserved

Amara's past is a blur, her memories shattered by fire and blood. Rescued from the dungeons of Malrathis, the demon realm, she is thrust into a world where her powers-wild, uncontrollable, and tied to an ancient race-are both a blessing and a curse. In a world torn by war, Amara, is caught between two warring realms. When a rescue mission brings her out of the hands of the demons, she is thrust into a new life with the humans. But there are secrets hidden within her past-secrets that tie her to the fae and to a massacre that changed the course of history. As Amara trains to control her powers and find her place in this new world, her path intertwines with Calder, a determined soldier, and Kaelith, the enigmatic demon prince. Their connection is complicated, their intentions unclear, but one thing is certain: Amara's future is bound to them both. As she grows stronger, the lines between allies and enemies blur, and she must decide who she can trust, and who might betray her. But the question remains: can she trust those who've offered her sanctuary-or is there a darker fate waiting for her?

Cerberus Rex, Nameless by lorink_author

In the woods south of the capital, a man born of magic wakes after a long sleep to experience his first taste of tragedy. Broken by the loss of one who cared for him, he becomes a monster he's never transformed into before. When he wakes up, a small rabbit-girl who calls herself a beast-bunny and a young man that smells of fear have cleaned the blood from his hands. Others' blood. But when he leaves them to mourn his caretaker and cope with the lives he has taken, he is shown the truth of his being. As a guardian called a Stag, he must venture into the world and make it better, but he will need to find the ones who helped him first. The nameless one has never ventured outside of the woods before and, in his attempt to locate those he searches for, is arrested. It seems the capital believes them to be murderers, and if not for the intervention of a captain who knows what he is, Nameless might have failed his quest before beginning it. By the help of a demon, he reunites with those who cared for him in the woods, and he starts the seemingly impossible task of discovering what exactly happened to turn his companions into criminals and save them if he can. If he cannot, he will have lost his first friends and the only ones he has come to trust to help him save their lands' magic and heal the world he finds falling apart all around him.
