From #1 New York Times bestselling author B.K. Borison comes a new whimsical, haunting romance. When a runaway grim reaper tries to save a life, she clashes with a skeptical Guardian, forcing them to form an unlikely partnership beyond the grave.
Darcy Moore is tired of death. Which would be fine and good … if she wasn’t a Grim Reaper. Determined to outrun her designation as the villain, Darcy decides she won’t be dragging her next assignment to the underworld. She’ll be saving him instead.
Unfortunately for Darcy, there’s a complication in her plan. Guardian Angel Gabriel Aetos doesn’t tolerate threats to his little corner of the world, and a Grim Reaper showing up at his bar is as deadly as it gets. But when he realizes Darcy is not as she seems, Gabriel must decide if he can trust his growing feelings or hold on to his long-standing grudge.
But magic doesn’t come without consequences. And the Department of Hauntings & Spirits will eventually come calling for their missing Reaper.
A spooky yet simmering enemies-to-lovers tale to keep you warm this fall.
Tropes:
• Enemies to Lovers
• Angel x Reaper
• Grumpy x grumpy
• Guy who likes everyone except her
• Death but make it corporate
• Star-crossed lovers
• Changing your fate

Review:
Did I love this one even more than Good Spirits ? Maaaaaybe…it’s a close call. This one definitely made me cry more, that’s for sure.
(All the other reviewers aren’t lying. HAVE TISSUES HANDY FOR THIS ONE.)
Darcy and Gabriel’s story was a freaking delight. From their instant attraction, to their almost as instant (mostly on Gabriel’s side, TBH) antagonism, to something more, I loved every second of this book. The grim reaper who’s sick of death and the guardian angel who’s going above and beyond for everyone in his flock and never taking care of himself were obviously MFEO* from the beginning, and we all just had to wait for them to figure it out themselves.
I loved Darcy–she just wanted to get out of the horrible rut she found herself in with her job; who can’t relate to that? And even though Gabriel did have a giant stick up his butt where she was considered about 90% of the time, when we saw things from his POV and learned more about his background it was just as heartbreaking <3
(I was slightly confused as to the timeline for some of the book, but that does all get explained eventually–just be patient!)
Just a warning–the author’s note at the end might have had me crying even more than the book itself; don’t skip it if you are at all interested in their inspo for the book. Highly recommend!
And now all I have to do is sit patiently and wait for #3–Gideon and Isabella’s story, I hope? 🙂
Rating: 5 stars / A+
