From bestselling author MaryJanice Davidson comes The Reluctant Reaper, a delightful romantasyāwith a twistāfeaturing Deathās daughter. Whatās a death god to do ā¦
A lot of twentysomethings might look forward to inheriting the family business. Amara Morriganās got zero interest in hers. The mantle she stands to assume is currently worn by her father, Death.
Amaraās childhood included helplessly watching as her best friend and her favorite teacher were taken away. She knows her dad didnāt do it on purpose ⦠it was just their time. But Amara refuses to accept the job. Itās bad enough that she can sense when the final moment will be for anybody she meetsāincluding her best (and only) friend, Gray. He knows who she is, and heās cool with it. And though heās the funniest, kindest, most understanding guy sheās ever met, she canāt allow him to get any closer (however much she might want to), because his moment is coming all too soon.
But now her father is dying. Ominous portents she canāt ignore pull Amara home to Minot, North Dakota, where Death is comatoseāsomething that shouldnāt be possible. Thank all the gods that Gray refuses to be left behind. Amaraās mother is a mess, and Gray gives her somebody to cook for while the other death gods are gathering.
Alas, thereās not enough lefse in all of North Dakota to fix the situation. With their options waning, Amara agrees to (temporarily!) take up her fatherās mantelābut she has to figure things out, and fast, because there is no way sheās doing this forever.
