Afterlife holds all manner of beings: demons, imps, failed reapers with broken hearts.

Kameka Soul is the latter.

After failing out of reaper school and losing the love of her life, Kameka Soul's heart is all but broken. Spending her days laying on tear-stained pillows, she's quite sure that the world has forgotten her until a postcard presents itself in the mail. One that can talk.

This card leads her to the Folk and Kin, a retreat for the legendary creatures of Afterlife passed down through her family for generations. With the inn currently in the hands of her enigmatic grandmother, Kameka Soul is put to work fending off proposals from a headless old god, saving magical kittens from otherworldly rainstorms, and picking up cupcakes from a certain handsome weather witch.

Though sworn off of awkward flirting and surprise hand-holding, Gale Storm, weather witch and baker of sugary treats, helps Kameka break her pointless vow. And as the two draw closer, learning of each other's deeper wounds and helping to heal them, Kameka must make a choice: let go of an old flame, or be forced to throw water over a new one. For if she waits too long, the choice may no longer be hers to make.

She's dead by the third chapter. Okay, it's a bit more complicated than that. Okay, it's A LOT more complicated than that. Renata wants nothing more than to pay her bills through her mildly boring office job and figure out whether she is still in love with her best friend. The latter half of that desire is just a sneak peak into her messy life-and it's only getting messier. Considering the paranormal world she is about to dive head first into, she will come to realize that figuring out her heart may just be the easiest part of this journey. Well, the endless supply of supernatural hotness in this story may beg to differ-but that's besides the point. Either way, it's gonna be a killer time ;) EXCERPT Chicken tacos it is. Right as Renata grabbed the ingredients, she turned to put them next to the stove, where a clean, plastic cutting board awaited. But as she moved, she was confronted by a stranger, an intruder, standing mere inches from her. Before she could scream, he was on her, slamming her against the fridge. Her back flashed with sharp pain. Her eyes pricked with fear as she drank in his uncovered face. Deeply tanned skin. Ruby red eyes-ruby red eyes? Thick, slashing eyebrows. Flat, broad nose. Buzzcut. Handsome. That was as far as she would go in complimenting him considering this guy held a knife to her throat. When he spoke, his voice came out like thunder. It held a thousand threats and a thousand secrets. It held promise of pain if provoked. "If you scream," he warned, mouth pulled in a slight snarl, "this ends quickly." She didn't dare nod against the blade. He noticed and amusement lit up for just a second in those devilish eyes. Oh, whoever the fuck this was, she already hated him. Considering her predicament, panic was the most prominent emotion coursing through her at the moment. "Good." He removed his hand "Now you're going to answer my questions." °°MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT OF ALL KINDS, AND I MEAN ALL KINDS°
