A grim first week on the job.
Tessa Randolph is feeling defeated. On the outs with her boyfriend and suddenly without a job, she's scrambling to pay the rent. She doesn't exactly have the kind of life she wants.
Tessa needs a change.
And the ability to afford the wet food her cat Pepper thinks she deserves at every meal.
Against her better judgement but without another offer, Tessa takes a job from one of the scariest of bosses--her mother, who has a deadly sharp tongue.
And just like that, she learns that the life insurance agency at the edge of Mist River isn't what it seems to be. Plus, Cheryl Randolph isn't simply the sharp-tongued, overly critical mom Tessa thought she was. She's a grim reaper. One of many people tasked with escorting souls into the afterlife.
And now Tessa is one too.
She wasn't expecting her life change to involve so much Death.
Tessa intends to simply kill it in her new career. But, running late on her second day of work, she doesn't make it in time for her neighbor's death. And now his soul is missing. Apparently, that's not a good thing when you're in the soul-collecting business.
Who knew?
Now, her mom-boss thinks Tessa can't cut it. Which is just so typical. And she doesn't seem to be telling Tessa everything about an important death in both of their pasts.
Not only that, but apparently, if Tessa doesn't find the missing spirit fast enough, its absence will rip some kind of apocalyptic hole in space and time. Or something like that. It's all a bit vague.
Not that Tessa read the job manual line-by-line. Who has time for that?
What's worse, the police think Tessa might've committed the murder.
Can Tessa prove her innocence? Can she get her mom off her back and find the wayward soul before time runs out? And will Pepper get that expensive can of tuna she's sure she deserves? Find out today!
