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.

The Grim Reaper's Girl
This is a story about the Grim Reaper and the souls he delivers. The Grim Reaper delivers souls from earth to what most comprehend as the 'afterlife'. When there is the occasional resistance from unwilling souls, he'll retrieve an old memory or feeling of theirs and let them experience it again. It usually works to persuade them to leave the world - souls who had suicidal thoughts in the past, those who lost loved ones and didn't want to continue living without them, and those who did something wrong and felt huge crushing guilt. Until he met a soul who never felt like she wanted to die before.Complete

Witchbound 1
In a small, seemingly ordinary town, Selene has always felt like she's just another face in the crowd. Her life revolves around the typical high school experiences-hanging out with friends, navigating the ups and downs of teenage life, and managing the constant buzz of schoolwork and daily routines. To the outside world, it's a life like any other, filled with the usual moments of frustration and joy. Yet, beneath the surface of this mundane existence lies a hidden world, one that Selene never could have imagined. Magic, mystical creatures, and ancient forces have quietly coexisted with her reality, just out of sight. It's a world governed by secrets, where the extraordinary is concealed by the normal. When Selene's life unexpectedly takes a turn, she is drawn to Eldermyst Academy, an ancient, secluded institution that holds the key to her true potential. The academy is a place far removed from her small-town life, a place where the supernatural is a part of everyday existence. Here, Selene begins to uncover her own latent powers, powers that have been dormant for years. The stark contrast between her once predictable world and the strange, mystical realm she enters becomes the foundation for her transformation. As she explores secret locations, encounters creatures beyond imagination, and navigates the complexities of magical realms, Selene begins to realize that her journey isn't just about surviving the chaos of two worlds colliding-it's about mastering the forces within herself, understanding the legacy that runs through her veins, and coming to terms with the power she holds. Each challenge she faces, each discovery she makes, takes her further away from the life she knew, and closer to a destiny that was always waiting for her.Complete
