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.

"Spirits of Air, Earth, Fire, and Sea Converge together, set thy angel free From my tongue, I send this rhyme In hopes that my offering appeases time Cast aside morals, see what is near Make a quick judgment, bring death here Evils extinguished, punishments be true Rid myself of the wicked, to start life anew" Sounds like a recipe for fun right?
