ARC acceptance letters started going out late (my ARC acceptance letters started going out late (my time) last night. I barely made a dent in the requests, so don't fret if you didn't get a letter yet. There will be more in the days to come. 

I mean, who doesn't want a fictional reaper boyfriend??? ๐Ÿ˜‰
I am beside myself at how quickly my number of fol I am beside myself at how quickly my number of followers grew this week. 

Venerable truth: I stepped away from social media for over a year due to mental health reasons and family complications. I'm only just learning how to put myself out there again. I'm happy you're here with me for the journey. 

I am a writer, a reader, a tea drinker, and a cat mom to several furry balls of chaos. 

Assuming we have books in common, what is your take on tea and/or cats?

Reaper's Quest has had more than one editor because that's how I roll. 

And by editor I don't mean "friend" or "beta reader" but official, paid professionals...in case that matters to you. 

Thanks to #lindseyrloucks at Midnight Library Book Service for this fun feedback!

Raven Gunn blamed herself and the cheat she used on her last job for her teamโ€™s assignment to the cursed reaping. Her father even packed the tool responsible for the cheat in her travel bag, silently suggesting the need, while reminding her not to trust her designated coreaper, Chace Badden. A hundred years of accumulated reapings, a prohibited reaper-tool, her born rival tasked as her partnerโ€ฆ What could go wrong? She definitely wouldnโ€™t allow Chaceโ€™s good looks to compromise her focus. Not. One. Bit.

Chace Badden suspected family connections were to blame for his teamโ€™s assignment, and he trusted nothing about the current reaping task. Especially not the Fae bastard showering Raven with unnecessary attention. That pr*ck needed to go. Raven was his coreaper and the pretty boy held no claim. Of course, the same could be said for Chace given Raven was his coreaper and his rival, professionalism and distance needed to remain steady between them.

But as more complications arise and old ones intensify, will Chace and Ravenโ€™s rivalry cloud emotions, hinder task success, and pave the road for, not only failure but, something far more concerning than mortal danger? Because the overwhelming number of unreaped souls is turning out to be the least of their worries.
