"When the Grim Reaper develops feelings for the children's librarian whose soul he is supposed to collect, he finds that with feelings comes something far worse than death—life.
Helena Hart isn't having the best night. Her date just ditched her, her Halloween costume bombed, and her only sympathetic ear is a dead silent partygoer in a Grim Reaper get-up. But when she falls off a balcony and he catches her with a very real skeletal hand, she realizes he may not be a party guest at all. Before she can process the near-death experience, he vanishes, leaving her to wonder if she hallucinated the whole thing.
Grim isn't supposed to save souls. He's supposed to reap them. And while he's not sure why he spared Helena, he does know that if his superiors find out, he's as good as dust—which is saying something for a guy who's mostly bones. But keeping away from Helena is proving harder than expected—especially when she isn't the least bit afraid of his monstrous form.
Worse, to his horror, Helena makes him feel. And for a reaper, feeling is a fate far more dangerous than death."
"In this hauntingly romantic, paranormal reimagining of Jane Eyre, a young psychic heads to Fairfax Hall to try and rid the enigmatic Elias Thornfield of his ghosts . . . but she's got competition.
"Mr. Darcy with a splash of Dr. Frankenstein-and a smartly climactic resolution stays true to the inspiration material's roots."-Publishers Weekly
Hell is coming for him . . . but so is she.
Eighteen-year-old Jane Reye is a psychic artist. She draws what she sees, and what she sees are spirits and the supernatural. Growing up orphaned, she's now of legal age and can no longer return to the girls' school she's called home for most of her life-not that she cares to. So when Jane receives an invitation to the English manor Fairfax Hall to take part in an investigation of the property that requires her area of expertise, she jumps at the opportunity.
Jane understands this will be no ordinary study when she meets Elias Thornfield, the elusive proprietor of the estate: a roguishly handsome and mysterious boy her age. Though, Jane's not the only one curious about Elias. There are also the sort-of telepathic (and unfairly charming) Giovanni and psychic influencer Ingrid, who specializes in tarot readings, both of whom were also tasked with ridding the property of "oppressive forces."
Immediately it becomes clear to all of them that something is amiss at Fairfax-something having to do with Elias and the sinister activity taking place around the manor. Turning to her art to unravel the mystery, Jane is shocked to find that her talents-and her growing affection for Elias-could be the key to saving him from a horrible fate."

Seventeen-year-old Stephanie Armand doesn't believe in ghosts or spirits. Despite the rumors at school and her little sister insisting a masked figure is hiding in her closet, Stephanie isn't convinced her father's latest renovation project-a crumbling Victorian mansion called Moldavia-houses the soul of a monster. But when the very charming (and paranormal-obsessed) Lucas Cheney takes an interest, in both Stephanie and her notorious home, the supernatural and romantic activity escalates to an all-time high. And then there's Erik-the mysterious, dashing boy with the British accent who's taken up residence in Stephanie's nightly dreams. A boy who may have something to do with the man in the mask, and the strange occurrences taking place within the walls of Moldavia."
