A reaper who can raise the dead? Being a grim is never easy, but when Chloe helps Killion investigate a sinister plot involving ancient black magic, she discovers she's not who she thought she was...and she can now raise the dead.

When it comes to reaping souls, I'm a natural, but I'm two weeks overdue on a wily shifter who's robbing folks of Christmas gifts, along with their holiday cheer.

Killion, the local master vampire and my partner, is no help. He requests-okay, demands-I do him a "favor" and investigate an odd hybrid creature he believes was animated with ancient, dark magic.

This off-the-books undertaking puts me on the naughty list with my boss, Death, but worse, I end up cursed by the same magic and am now able to raise the dead.

Sort of.

What's a grim to do when she raises a soul as fast as she reaps it? Death is playing reaper's keepers, and if I don't fix this, my soul will be next.
