Cass is 17, angry at the world, and done pretending to care. She lives with her spiritually obsessed grandma in a house that reeks of incense and grief. Her sister's dead, her parents are MIA, and life's just one long, pointless drag.
Then one night, something snaps, and Cass accidentally kills someone.
That's when she meets him: the Grim Reaper. He's not what she expected, but he offers her a deal. Survive the layers of Hell, make it to the core, and he'll give her a second chance, whatever that means. Desperate or maybe just reckless, Cass says yes.
What follows is a descent through chaos. She meets monsters that whisper secrets, souls twisted into something unrecognizable, and people she almost remembers. Each layer peels her back, exposes her raw, and still she keeps going, because maybe, just maybe, something down there matters.

[On the longlist] A reaper. A red scythe. A cauldron of souls. Elise Amor is a tarot card reader and has seen this tarot card in her dreams for months - the only problem? The card doesn't exist. The real question is why she then finds the card tattooed on a man she has never seen before. This so-called man goes by the name of Damien, who is in fact a deviant reaper and harvests the souls of the rich for his own intentions. He approaches Elise for a reading to find out if he will succeed in his endeavours, and although she confirms that he will succeed in his venture, the cards also give a warning. But Damien refuses to listen. It isn't long before the dangers that the cards foretold pull Elise into Damien's troubles. ____________________________________________ Cover was made by @dreamtastic ! :DComplete
My Soul to Reap (Archived)
https://www.wattpad.com/story/59989002-my-soul-to-reap This should be considered a "first draft" kept for posterity. Please see the above link for an updated, edited version. "Help me raise some hell, Cammie, and you can get your soul back." Grim reapers are skeletal figures in black robes. That's what they are in movies, anyways. But in real life, they used to be people. Every supernatural creature knows to stay out of their way, because you don't mess with death. Or, at least they used to. Cammie isn't anything other than an ordinary girl who makes a mistake at a party. But her death leads to her meeting one of the reapers upset with the current state of affairs, and her life instantly gets more dangerous. While she's trailing behind this eccentric girl who claims to own her soul, she meets the very vampire that killed her- and he's not the only one who's taken an interest in her. The supernatural world is gearing up for war, and Cammie is one of the only ones with the chance to choose what side she wants to be on. Or, so she thinks.Complete

Don't Fear The Reaper
[ highest ranking: #179 in paranormal ] Something wicked is coming to Ashdown, Vermont. Something dark, deadly, and... platinum blonde? 17 year-old Lila Cabrera is a certifiable hot mess. Last spring, on the night of Junior Prom, Lila survived a fatal car crash - one that left her then-boyfriend, Will, dead, before they could even reach the dance. Because of that night, Lila has lost her friends, her sense of protection, and, worst of all, the love of her life. Now, Lila is a senior, still grieving her lost love, and she has no idea what she wants to do with her life. But that's okay, because on the 3 month anniversary of the crash, the Grim Reaper himself shows up at her house, warning her that she is fated to die by her 18th birthday next May. The Reaper then says that his job is to help her live out her bucket list before he collects her soul on that fated day. But does The Reaper, who's sarcastic, sardonic and skeleton-like, have ulterior motives? Can Lila prevent her fate? And is Will really gone? There's only one way to find out - and it's through Death himself. [ an original fic ] © october 2017 - august 2018 by athena m.Complete

When the reap for a young girl's soul goes terribly wrong, Lia is ripped out of the reaper realm and given a second chance at life. As she forges new relationships and learns what it means to live, she regains the memories of her past, and nothing can prepare her for the damage she's done. Old habits die hard, and Lia fights to resist the overwhelming urge to take another life. But there is an evil that lurks in the shadows. And he'll do anything to make sure she embraces her past.
