Dominic Gallo dies in a gang crossfire but wakes up as Death's apprentice.   Handsome and awkward, Dominic struggles with a reluctant mentor, sleep deprivation, and tasteless food in his surreal new existence working for the Life and Death (L&D) Corporation.   He works alongside Life's apprentice, the beautiful but hostile, Violet and her mentor, the bubbly and vivacious Alice.

Together, Dominic and Violet pursue her psychotic killer and uncover dark forces within L&D, plotting to bring our world to its knees under a new empire.  As the powers of Life and Death divide, Dominic falls for Violet and must make the ultimate choice to either fight on the side of Death or protect the forces of Life at all cost.

Death Becomes Her( COMPLETED) by AsToldBySyd_

Essence Hall is a brilliant, no-nonsense surgeon who believes in science, facts, and the cold certainty of life and death - but never in love. When she meets Angelo, a darkly charming man with a razor-sharp wit and a habit of showing up at the exact moment someone takes their last breath, she writes him off as an oddball. But Angelo isn't just strange - he's the Grim Reaper. And though he can't lie - an eternal curse tied to his existence - Essence refuses to believe him. Intrigued by her unshakable skepticism, Angelo becomes determined to learn more about the messy, unpredictable nature of human life - and why a woman who holds so many hearts in her hands seems so unwilling to open her own. As sarcasm turns to sincerity and death's touch begins to feel a little more like a caress, Essence must face an impossible truth: sometimes love, like death, comes when you least expect it.

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]

Now he needs to make things right again but the Reaper quickly learns that the magic of being human comes with one grim reality.
