BLURB
One lost love.
One lost best
friend.
One hot soul reaper.
Straight out of the psyche ward, Cora just wants her life to
be normal. She doesn’t want to see souls or the reapers collecting them. The
love of her life, the guy she’s loved from a distance for years, has moved away
without saying goodbye. So yes, she’s nursing a serious heartbreak. It’s no
wonder love is the last thing on her mind when Echo storms into her life.
The chemistry between them is mind-blowing. The connection
defies logic. It doesn’t help that Echo is the poster boy for everything she
hates in a guy—hot, beautiful, and cocky. A general pain-in-the-butt. Being
around him makes her feel more alive than she’s ever felt before. But more
important, the souls leave her alone when he is around.
Echo is perfect for her. Echo might even be her soul-mate.
There is only one problem. Echo is a freaking soul reaper. A Grimnir. The very
beings she wants out of her life. Maybe normal is overrated because Cora wants
it all. Answers. Love. A life. You see, once you fall for a Grimnir, your life
will never be the same again.
EXCERPT
“You, doll-face. Why are you having a shitty day?”
I glared ahead. “Because you are screwing with my head. How
come you keep saying things I don’t remember?”
“I told you. The Norns put a whammy on you.”
“Norns?”
“Deities of destiny. Mean, bitter hags. They control the
destiny of all beings—Mortals, Immortals, even the gods. Interestingly, I just
found out why they targeted you and erased your memories.”
“Why?” Not that I believed his rambling.
“Say please.”
I was tempted to ignore him, but something weird had
happened to me and I wanted answers. I eased the car into a parking spot across
from my school, switched off the engine, and turned to look at Echo. He was
dressed in all leather again today. I realized that what I’d assumed was a
leather shirt was actually a vest of some kind. Once again, he wore fingerless
gloves and silver Gothic rings with weird markings.
“Please,” I said through clenched teeth.
He touched his lips. “I want a kiss, too.”
I narrowed my eyes. “Why are you such a tool all the time?
You think this is fun for me? Not remembering things? Waking up one morning and
seeing souls? Ending up in a psych ward, where they pumped me full of drugs,
then coming home only to be met by you, a reaper?”
“Grimnir,” he corrected then frowned. “Are those the fake
memories the Norns gave you? Psych ward? That’s just wrong.”
“I was in a psych ward,” I snapped.
He raised his hands. “Okay. No need to be snippy.”
“I’m not—”
He covered my mouth then smirked when I bit his hand. I bore
down until I tasted blood. He didn’t even wince. His grin broadened instead.
“Drink my blood, doll-face. Bond with me for eternity.”
The thought was scary. I pushed his hand away and wiped my
mouth. “Ew. Can your blood do that?”
He laughed.
“Will you be serious for even a second?” I asked.
“Don’t you want to be mine forever?”
“Ew, no.” I made a face. “I don’t even like you.”
