About this book
Archangel Azrael is the literal Grim Reaper, and frankly, he is exhausted. Between the heavy burden of harvesting souls and a therapist who insists he needs a social life, he finds himself trapped at a speed-dating event for the supernatural. He expects a miserable night, but he gets something far more dangerous: Deirdre, a bubbly, irresistible vampire who is definitely not looking for a soulmate.
Their chemistry is instantaneous, proving that opposites attract in the most chaotic way possible. This grumpy-sunshine pairing is pure magic, fueled by witty banter and an undeniable spark. But Deirdre has a penchant for trouble, and when she accidentally touches Azrael’s forbidden scythe, she finds herself unexpectedly deceased. Now, the brooding angel has only three days to reunite his fated mate with her body before she is lost to the afterlife forever.
If you are hunting for a paranormal romantic comedy that balances high-stakes tension with laugh-out-loud humor, this is your next obsession. Carrie Pulkinen delivers a delightful, fast-paced tale of divine disasters and forbidden romance. Grab this book if you want a sassy heroine who refuses to stay dead and a hero who finally learns that even the Angel of Death deserves a second chance at love.

Who knew the grim reaper was a grievance counselor. Azrael doesn’t want to move on until he meets a full of life vampire. Deirdre is sassy until she can’t keep her hands to herself.
