She won’t give up until every question is answered...and that’s where things are heading as her wedding approaches and her mother’s ultimate fate is finally sealed.

Aisling Grimlock has a lot going on. Her boyfriend is keeping a secret with her brother. She's finally on her own collecting souls for the family reaping business. Oh, and her mother is back from the dead and may be eating people to keep herself alive. When trouble comes knocking and someone Aisling adores is left injured in the crossfire, she's out for blood and vengeance. Her brothers want to believe their mother is telling the truth but protecting those she loves is more important than buried memories.

Being a grim reaper isn't easy, but answering to family is even worse. Between argumentative souls, overbearing older brothers, and everyday nonsense, Aisling Grimlock has her hands full.

Does she have anyone’s best interests at heart? All of those questions are about to be answered, although the person providing the information is one Aisling thought she would never see again. Another woman, another time, another mother.

A series of storms hits, and the Michigan populace starts turning downright dangerous. Aisling is convinced the storms are magical in origin.

As a cop, Griffin Davenport is used to putting his life on the line. What he’s not comfortable with is being a threat to the people he’s supposed to be helping. The storms, you see, don’t affect reapers, but those they love are in a heap of danger.

Aisling Grimlock should be happy. She’s living with and engaged to the man of her dreams, her mother isn’t eating people...at least out in the open, her best friend is distracted by wedding details...mostly, and there are zombies running around Detroit. Yeah, it’s that last one that’s driving her crazy...especially because no one in her family believes her when she spouts the tall tale. Aisling Grimlock is a reaper in trouble. She’s got big decisions in front of her and nonstop trouble chasing behind. The dead appear to be rising...and they’ve got their eyes on Aisling.

The creature seems fascinated with Aisling - following her from one mirror to the next and threatening her very survival.

Aisling Grimlock is living a charmed life...kind of. Things are going well for Michigan's favorite grim reaper, though. She's moving in with her boyfriend Griffin Taylor, her best friend Jerry is doing his best not to melt down and her back-from-the-dead mother doesn't appear to be munching on the unsuspecting populace. Er, well, maybe. All of that changes when another reaping family goes missing and Aisling and her merry band of family and friends are tossed into the middle of a mystery that will have long-lasting repercussions.
