A romance between a Reaper and a librarian where feeling is more dangerous than death.
Helena Hart endures a terrible evening when her date abandons her. She encounters a silent partygoer dressed as the Grim Reaper, who saves her from falling off a balcony. This man is not merely in costume; he is the actual entity responsible for collecting souls. He violates his duties to save her, creating a risk that could end his existence. Helena’s lack of fear toward his monstrous form complicates matters further. The narrative follows their growing bond as Grim struggles with emotions he was never meant to possess. Creagh uses this premise to examine how vulnerability affects even the most detached supernatural beings. The story balances humor with the threat of eternal punishment for disobedience.
The book is published by Simon & Schuster Audio in July 2026. It sits within the contemporary horror and gothic fiction genres, appealing to American readers interested in modern takes on classic death mythology and Halloween culture.

Creagh successfully balances dark humor with the threat of eternal punishment, creating a tense yet engaging narrative. The protagonist’s lack of fear toward the Reaper’s monstrous form adds a refreshing layer to the typical horror romance dynamic. By examining how vulnerability affects detached supernatural beings, the book offers more than just surface-level scares.
