Death's Temporary Home For Lost Souls by BookNrd

LEAVING WATTPAD ON FEBRUARY 23rd, 2025 Cara, a troubled college dropout, finds herself slowly falling for a handsome stranger - who turns out to be Death incarnate. But the arrival of a mysterious being puts Death's home for lost souls and his very existence at risk, forcing Cara to help his stubborn spirit residents achieve their unfinished business. *** Reeling from a tragic personal loss and armed with a life-altering secret, interior designer Cara Rossi leaves behind the bustling New York streets in search of tranquility and finds herself enchanted by the quaint town of Neverton, Massachusetts. In fact, Cara is so devoted to finding inner peace that she doesn't bat an eye when a friendly local asks her to renovate a decrepit Victorian mansion straight out of a horror film. The renovation soon turns out to be the least of Cara's worries when she meets the devastatingly handsome owner of the home - who turns out to be Death himself. But this version of Death is nothing like you see in the movies; he wears cozy sweaters, makes home-cooked meals, and runs a home for lost souls with unfinished business where he helps them cross to the other side. When the very existence of Death's home is threatened by a mysterious stranger called The Auditor, Cara feels obligated to help him pass on the undead residents. But Neverton has a way of breaking down people's walls, and as Cara spends more time with Death she must face the most horrifying thing of all: her own heart, and her growing feelings for an Immortal.

Haunted by JuliaCoffin

The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]
