Death Wish - by Lilly Lu (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A jaded reaper falls for the soul who got away--a vampire dying for something new--in this supernatural sapphic romance filled with yearning, fated love, and hope for the future.

It's been over a century since Amory Ng woke up in an office with no memory of her life (or death). Now she's the reigning Best West Coast Reaper, floating through the veil and ferrying souls to . . . whatever comes next.

When Amory is granted two nights a week in the mortal world, she decides to take a pottery class. She feels alive being around humans and creating something with her hands--even if her bowls are a little lopsided.

Then Amory comes face to face with Clementine Lim, the only soul she failed to reap, and somehow, Clem can see through the veil and Amory's facade.

Clem has lived a full life as a vampire, but now she's ready to move on. Which is exactly why she tracked down the reaper who didn't finish the job.

Tempted to erase the one mistake hanging over her head, Amory agrees to help, but killing a vampire isn't easy--especially when she starts to enjoy Clem's company.

The pull between them only grows stronger as Clem shows Amory how to live her afterlife to the fullest while they search for answers. But when they learn that Clem's maker, a murderous vampire, is running rampant, it's up to them to stop him.
