Description
Hell just got a lot hotter -- and it has nothing to do with fire or brimstone and everything to do with an immortal Scottish Druid warrior...
So, long story short, I died when I was hit by a truck full of chickens.
Right, I literally got chick-filleted.
But my soul took a detour it wasn't supposed to -- and now I've been yanked out of the great beyond and offered a second chance at life.
The catch? I have to work for AfterLife Enterprises, a shady celestial corporation that made one teeny-tiny mistake back in Y2K -- accidentally sending thousands of souls to the Underground City instead of Heaven.
Guess who gets to retrieve them?
Armed with a sword I can barely lift and an alcoholic, useless "guardian angel" named Bill, I'm now officially a soul retriever essentially navigating the circles of hell, but this hell goes by the name of The Underground City.
And this is by far the worst job I've ever had.
I would've been demon chow by day two... if not for Tallis Black (the immortal Scottish dude mentioned earlier).
A brooding, Celtic warrior with a deadly past and a body carved by the gods themselves, Tallis is all sharp edges, burning glances, and that voice -- deep and rough like molten steel. Guarded, unfriendly, and completely lethal, Tallis hates everyone--almost as much as he hates himself. He's like the quintessential bad boy--everything I should run from.
But when Tallis offers to guide me through the infernal chaos of the Underground City, I'm too desperate to say no.
Now I'm stuck navigating hell with a man who growls more than he speaks and looks at me like he's trying to decide whether to kiss me or kill me.
Oh, and let's not forget Alaire -- the seductive, psychotic ruler of the Underground City. Alaire's a man as deadly as he is evil, packaged as a handsome, successful businessman in a suit. And for some reason, Alaire's got a thing for me--a thing that could cost me my life...
The deeper Tallis, Bill and I go into the Underground City, the more I realize Tallis is hiding things -- dangerous things. Secrets that could unravel everything I thought I knew about him, the afterlife... and myself.
And somewhere between trying to dodge Alaire's advances, learning how to use my sword, the soul-stealing demons, and the scorching tension between Tallis and me, I begin to wonder if the real danger isn't surviving the Underground City... it's falling for Tallis.
Perfect for fans of spicy urban fantasy, brooding immortal heroes, laugh-out-loud banter, and reluctant heroines who find their strength in the darkest places.
This series is your next must-read if you love: enemies to lovers, antiheroes with dark secrets, fated mates, forbidden love, found family, and Druid magic wrapped in a really sexy package.
