Turned At Dark by CC_Hunter

Independent and strong-willed Della Tsang hadn't believed in ghosts until she saw her dead cousin darting into the shadows of an alley. She hadn't believed in vampires until in the dark of that same night she is turned into one. Introduced to a strange world of supernaturals, she struggles to accept this new reality. Unfortunately, the boy she loves senses something different about her and can't accept her. Should she follow her vampire cousin's lead-walk away from everything she's knows and loves-and fake her own death? Or should she set her pride aside and ask for help from the camp leader of Shadow Falls-a camp where supernaturals go to learn how to cope with their powers. Either way, her life as she knows it, will never be the same.

The Grim Reaper's Girl by joshszz

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.

Determined to use her past life's knowledge, Seraphina embarks on a journey to revolutionize medicine in the kingdom, all while navigating royal conspiracies, an arranged marriage to a cold-hearted duke, and whispers of a prophecy that ties her fate to the kingdom's survival. As memories of her past intertwine with her present, Seraphina must decide-will she embrace the life destiny has given her, or will she carve her own path and defy fate itself?
