And that means I have no time for distractions of any kind—especially guys.But then, he comes along; the sexiest, strongest, most handsome, most intimidating, and most powerful man I’ve ever seen.He’s absolutely gorgeous, with eyes that seem to burn right through my soul and the most charming smile in existence, and his allure, his entire being, is simply magnetic.He’s impossibly beautiful and just…ugh, perfect. He’s perfect. He’s everything every woman—and possibly quite a few men—wants, including me.What I’m not prepared for, though, is how much he wants me, too.However, there are three problems.One: He’s not a man.Two: I can only see him in my dreams.And three: He commands an army of soul reapers.And, apparently, that’s just the beginning…***Immerse yourself in the first thrilling installment of Eme Strife's addictive, sexy, enchanting, and surreal series.
