When Death is only the beginning, the Afterlife becomes your new career path...
So, dying really wasn't on my to-do list.
Yet here I am, freshly deceased and newly resurrected in a body that still doesn't feel like mine (though I can't complain about the upgrade).
My deal with Afterlife Enterprises is simple: retrieve ten lost souls from the Underground City, and I get to keep living. Sounds straightforward, right? Except this "Underground City" is basically what you'd call Hell, and I wasn't exactly given an employee handbook.
Lucky for me, I've got Bill, my alcoholic "guardian" angel, and Tallis Black, a two-thousand-year-old Celtic Druid with secrets darker than the haunted forest he calls home.
Tallis is intimidating, infuriating, and impossibly attractive - and I'm pretty sure he's hiding something major about his connection to the Underground.
Between battling demon clowns, navigating sewers guarded by wolf-men, and trying not to get killed (again), I'm starting to realize that afterlife office politics are deadly serious.
Especially when Alaire, the keeper of the Underground City, takes a disturbing interest in me.
So if you're wondering what happens when your second chance at life involves descending into hell, wielding a magic sword, and possibly catching feelings for the most dangerous man in the Dark Wood... well, I'm still figuring that out myself.
