Somewhat Dead

SHE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE.

Jaslynn Fine thought death would be the end.

After losing her mother, enduring a life she could barely survive, and finally making the decision to disappear forever, Jaslynn expects nothing beyond the darkness waiting for her beneath the water.

Instead, she wakes up somewhere she has never seen before-with no heartbeat, no soul, and no explanation for why she's still here.

They call her somewhat dead.

Le Ossa is a hidden world filled with ancient beings, impossible secrets, and people who have been dead far longer than Jaslynn has been alive. And somehow, she has been pulled into their world for a reason.

Then there's Braxton Eton.
Cold. Dangerous. Impossible to read.

And Leo Hights.
Beautiful. Reckless. Far too interested.

One wants her to stay away.
The other wants to see just how close she'll let him get.

But Jaslynn's arrival isn't an accident.

Something chose her.

Something brought her back.

And as the secrets of the mort-vivant begin to surface, Jaslynn discovers that her connection to Le Ossa-and to the two men who seem inexplicably drawn to her-is far more powerful than she could have imagined.

Because sometimes being caught between life and death isn't a curse.

Sometimes it's your destiny.
