BLURB

One lost love.

One lost best friend.

One hot soul reaper.

Straight out of the psyche ward, Cora just wants her life to be normal. She doesn’t want to see souls or the reapers collecting them. The love of her life, the guy she’s loved from a distance for years, has moved away without saying goodbye. So yes, she’s nursing a serious heartbreak. It’s no wonder love is the last thing on her mind when Echo storms into her life.

The chemistry between them is mind-blowing. The connection defies logic. It doesn’t help that Echo is the poster boy for everything she hates in a guy—hot, beautiful, and cocky. A general pain-in-the-butt. Being around him makes her feel more alive than she’s ever felt before. But more important, the souls leave her alone when he is around.

Echo is perfect for her. Echo might even be her soul-mate. There is only one problem. Echo is a freaking soul reaper. A Grimnir. The very beings she wants out of her life. Maybe normal is overrated because Cora wants it all. Answers. Love. A life. You see, once you fall for a Grimnir, your life will never be the same again.

EXCERPT

“Isn’t it late to be going out now?” Dad asked, standing. “You could always go tomorrow.”

“It’s only,” I glanced at my watch, “eight, and Raine would be there for me if it were you in the hospital, Dad.”

He reached for his jacket. “I’ll come with you.”

“No. I’ll be fine. I’m picking up a friend on the way. Go back to your work. I’ll call you when I get to the hospital and when I’m on my way back.”

He glanced at his computer. “No, I’m not letting you drive anywhere alone, muffin. I’ll tell your mother where we are going.”

Arguing with him was pointless once he made up his mind. “I’ll be by the truck. I want to get something from my car first.”

Outside, I saw Echo in the front passenger seat of my car. I opened the car door and peered at him. The runes on his body glowed. “My dad insists on taking me.”

“Good. We’ll finish our conversation later. Remember, your memories are gone because Norns erased them and replaced them with fake ones. When you get them back, it will all make sense.”

“You said the Valkyries don’t like you. Why?”

“I didn’t reap Mr. Cooper as a favor to Torin St. James, so he owes me. Valkyries don’t like owing us favors.”

I’d gone into selective listening at the name Torin St. James. “Raine’s boyfriend is a Valkyrie?”

He nodded. “Yep. He’s a hard ass, but a good soldier. We tend to steer clear of each other. Andris is young and an idiot.” He touched my cheek. “Go. Your parents are coming. Oh, don’t forget. No mentioning my name to anyone.”

That again? “Why would I do that?”

He smirked. “Because girls love to talk about guys they’re crazy about.”

I laughed. “You are one person I try not to think about.”

“You can try, but you can’t help yourself, doll-face.”
