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.

Rebirth: (N): The process of being reincarnated or born again The Dead should stay dead. The Living should stay living. When a loved one dies, grief and sorrow immediately follows afterwards, but the world doesn't stop for your suffering and so...life moves on. However, it can be hard to move on with life when you're a vampire who has had the blame and hatred of seven other siblings dumped on you for a choice that would benefit all; simply because you were the eldest and most responsible. Nonetheless, this story doesn't start with our eldest vampire.

Many memories of her parents dying in some horrible accident occurred in the girl's mind yet no matter how much she thought about it, nothing seemed to quite fit right with her.

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.

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.
