What starts as a disastrous Halloween party takes a supernatural turn when Helena catches the attention of someone who definitely isn't in costume—the actual Grim Reaper, who breaks every rule in his job description by saving her life instead of collecting her soul. Now Grim can't stay away from the charming librarian who somehow isn't terrified of him, and Helena finds herself drawn to the lonely reaper who's spent eternity around death but has never really experienced life. As their connection deepens, Grim discovers that feelings are infinitely more dangerous than his original mission, forcing him to choose between duty and a love that could literally cost him everything. It's a swoony, darkly witty paranormal romance about finding your person in the most unexpected place—and what you're willing to risk to keep them.
