We thought death was the end, turns out it’s just the prologue.

RUE

I died, briefly.
Then I came back.
Now I’m determined to make the most of every minute I have left.
Only problem is I’ve been saddled with supervision.
Kane Deveraux is handsome, smug, and cold as a tombstone.
So why does he make me feel something more powerful than death?

KANE

As a reaper, I have helped crossover thousands of souls.
And not one of them have touched mine…until Rue Chamberlain.
She’s stubborn, reckless, and maddeningly radiant.
And for this centuries-old spirit, she’s a living woman that is absolutely off-limits.
If I follow the rules, I will lose her.
If I break them, I might lose everything.

Grim is a darkly funny, wickedly romantic tale of life, death, and a love that refuses to rest in peace.
