[ A girl who is dying meets a boy who never will. ]

Elta knows her days are numbered. And she's quite content to spend them quietly on her own, isolated in her rural home with her single mother. And while her mother struggles with the inevitable, Elta has made her peace with Death.

Then one cold winter day, a new neighbour moves in next door(ish) to their remote farm. Though everyone else is charmed by the strange man, Elta finds something odd about him. Her suspicions are confirmed when she visits his house only to find all the windows boarded up and a monster living inside.

**THE FULL VERSION OF THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE IN RADISH. DOWNLOAD THE APP IN APPLE STORE/PLAY STORE** Synopsis: Vanessa Bennet was in the car when her mom lost her life in a tragic 'accident', with her mom's words 'I'm sorry' burned in her memory. Years later, her boyfriend was murdered. She witnessed all of these deaths, right in front of her. But the worst part is, she survived. Her father blamed her for her mother's death. Their ghosts haunted her dreams. She knew all too well that allowing herself any form of attachments to somebody else would only end up with her, picking up shattered pieces of her heart with bloody fingers. And twice is enough, Vanessa didn't want any more part with that. But then her father sent her to Willacy, Texas to finish the remaining six months of her senior year. She hated her predicament though she couldn't do anything but to agree; for Art School would not be just a dream if she completed this deal her father gave her. And that's where she met Jackson Matthews, the son of the cattle ranch owner where she would spend the rest of her senior year. He's cocky. He thinks he's funny. He is full of himself. But Vanessa couldn't help but admit that Jackson Matthews showed her that there is more to life than loss. He promised he'd catch her if she falls. Now she's just waiting for life to test that promise. However there's more to her mother and boyfriend's death that is yet to be uncovered. Sometimes, secrets are too dark that they are better left alone. But those dark secrets can't stay hidden forever; it would always find its way to visit Vanessa and remind her what loss is, again.

Cara, a troubled college dropout, finds herself slowly falling for a handsome stranger - who turns out to be Death incarnate. But the arrival of a mysterious being puts Death's home for lost souls and his very existence at risk, forcing Cara to help his stubborn spirit residents achieve their unfinished business. *** Reeling from a tragic personal loss and armed with a life-altering secret, interior designer Cara Rossi leaves behind the bustling New York streets in search of tranquility and finds herself enchanted by the quaint town of Neverton, Massachusetts. In fact, Cara is so devoted to finding inner peace that she doesn't bat an eye when a friendly local asks her to renovate a decrepit Victorian mansion straight out of a horror film. The renovation soon turns out to be the least of Cara's worries when she meets the devastatingly handsome owner of the home - who turns out to be Death himself. But this version of Death is nothing like you see in the movies; he wears cozy sweaters, makes home-cooked meals, and runs a home for lost souls with unfinished business where he helps them cross to the other side. When the very existence of Death's home is threatened by a mysterious stranger called The Auditor, Cara feels obligated to help him pass on the undead residents. But Neverton has a way of breaking down people's walls, and as Cara spends more time with Death she must face the most horrifying thing of all: her own heart, and her growing feelings for an Immortal.
