For 18 years, I was able to see the dead, so I pretty much managed to deal with a lot of unusual things in the world. I even learned to accept my strange, if not slightly annoying, ”I see dead people” ability. But the one thing that tipped me over the edge? I can’t drink coffee in the afterlife. Not even a sip. I know what you’re thinking. Surely things can’t get any worse than that? Well... I also have a rival apprentice who despises me, a quarterback ghost who won’t leave me the hell alone, a sexy angel determined to take me out on a date, and a silly little crush on my new boss. Yeah, you read that last part right. I have an aimless crush on the Grim Reaper, and no, he isn’t a hooded skeleton clutching a scythe. He’s a gorgeous man in a tailor-made suit and every word he utters fills me with desire...just like the others do, despite my best efforts to resist them. Unfortunately, a mysterious darkness is spreading through the human world, and Death has tasked me with putting an end to it. At least, that’s what I tell myself, as I quite possibly make the worst decisions of my entire life... Death’s Apprentice is a Reverse Harem Urban Fantasy. This series is a medium-burn romance filled with an extreme amount of dark humor, sarcasm, mystery, and a talking dog who is totally judging Sacha’s bad decisions in life. Buckle up, and get ready to join Sacha on her soul-reaping journey...and perhaps a little detour into Hell.
