Release date: September 27What it's about: Ashana and Poppy met on a school trip, and despite Ash's track record of less-than-stellar dating luck, the two quickly begin to fall for each other. Unfortunately, everything comes to a crashing halt after a hit-and-run that leaves Ash with a new job — reaper. As the last person to die pre-midnight on New Year's Eve, Ash is now tasked with helping lost souls cross over. But her mind constantly drifts to Poppy, even as she goes about her routine. When Ash runs into Poppy, and Poppy recognizes her (only someone close to death can see the reapers as they truly are), Ash has to figure out if a second chance is worth risking when tragedy lies so near. Get it from Bookshop or from your local indie bookstore via Indiebound.
