Bys: V Ann Crook and ShaNeil Harada

Reaper's Kiss is a compilation of the first two novellas in the Reapers and Guardians series.The first novella, Kiss of Death, takes teen angst to a whole new level as we dive into the world of a sixteen year old grim reaper.Zayne is a striking young man with a kiss to die for, literally. Ever since the one and only time he kissed his mother, when he was four, Zayne has lived with the knowledge that anyone he kisses will die. Despised by his drug addict foster brother Zack, Zayne's home life consists of a constant barrage of verbal insults and physical abuse. He has finally mastered the art of playing human while still keeping everyone at a distance. That is until a fiery haired angel, named Nadya, asks him for directions and sends his world spinning on its axis.Zayne soon learns that Nadya has a gift of her own, one very different from the curse he bears. Will their similar yet opposing gifts create an unbreakable friendship between them? Or are they destined to be enemies? In addition to testing the waters of their shaky friendship, Zayne fights to control the emotions he has worked so hard to bury; as his heart begins to ignore the one thing he knows for sure, that he can never experience love.In the second novella, Kiss of Shadows, terrified by his foster brother, Zayne's, ability to suck the very soul from a person with a simple kiss, Zack runs away from home and holes up with his friend, a drug dealer named Alex. Trying numerous drugs to escape the creepy shadows that seem to be after him, Zack overdoses and ends up in a coma in the hospital, barely hanging on to life.Zayne, wracked by guilt, rushes to find a way to rescue his brother from the shadows that torment him and threaten to strip away the last of his soul. There is a way to make the shadows go away, but to do so Zayne must die. Can Zayne and Nadya rescue Zack and get rid of the shadows, or is the price too high?
