In Death I could finally see the importance of Life…
After being forced to become a Reaper Council member and being torn away from the one she loves, Rowan Harper must learn to accept her altered Fate as well as her death and move on. A task easier said than done, especially when witnessing those you love suffer in the wake of your death.
When an unlikely alli provides information that could change everything, Rowan sets out on a journey through Purgatory with her beloved by her side and a nonchalant Tracker to learn the true meaning of the word sacrifice. Another task which seems easier said than done, especially with the threat of Purgatory’s ability to corrupt your soul the longer you’re in its grip looming above their heads.

adult fiction, reading, and struggling to stay on top of housework. She is an
instant coffee lover with an obsession for spiral bound notebooks and smooth

listening to songs that spur inspiration on repeat and tolerate her love for
all paranormal, teenage-targeted TV shows.
Excerpt Two:
Jet was what had made all of this seem tolerable. If I had
to be a Reaper, then I could endure it, but only if I was able to visit with
Jet from time to time. Sorrow cracked its way through my soul again. I didn’t
want this. I didn’t want the waiting and the yearning. I didn’t want to be a
part of the horribleness death was, not alone, not without Jet.
I didn’t want this
to be my hereafter.
“Rowan?” a familiar voice called out to me. I left my eyes
closed and smiled, afraid that if I opened them disappointment would crush me
because he wouldn’t be there in front of me, afraid that it was nothing but a
memory of him calling my name swimming to the surface of my broken mind in my
moment of heartbreaking want.
A hand softly brushed against my cheek, and I slowly allowed
my eyes to flutter open. Glistening sapphire eyes held my attention as I
fumbled to make sense of how Jet was in front of me. Happiness and excitement
bubbled through me and escaped in the form of laughter. My arms wrapped around
his neck, and I drew him in closer to me, vowing to never let him go again.
“I’m glad to see you, too.” He chuckled, a sound I’d missed
more than I knew.
“I feel like I’ve been waiting forever,” I said, releasing
the grip I had around his neck in favor of simply holding his hands in mine.
“Death has a way of making things feel eternal,” he said,
his tone etched with heartache.
I didn’t want to talk of death. I didn’t even want to think
about it. All I wanted was to savor this moment because I wasn’t sure how long
we would get. Leaning forward, I pressed my lips to his and felt my desire to
be with him always pulsating through my soul.
