___

Callum Walker kills people for a living. Although he doesn't get a say in who his boss puts on his list, he likes to hunt people who hurt children in his spare time. After a misunderstanding that leads Callum to believe Ryan Fairview - a local funeral director - is responsible for hurting one of the neighbourhood children, he finds his next target.

However, Ryan isn't like other morticians. He can see dead people. So, when Callum breaks into Fairview Funerals ready to kill him, Ryan is shocked to find that his would-be murderer is haunted by all the people he's killed.

Ryan might be just the man to help Cal get rid of his little ghost problem. The only problem is, these two are polar opposites and Ryan can't seem to get over the small issue of home invasion and attempted homicide.

Will Cal win over the stubborn and neurotic mortician? Or will Ryan refuse to be swayed by the impulsive yet charming mercenary?

AI-generated

I was looking forward to reading this, as the concept sounded very interesting, but upon receiving it, and opening it, the first thing I saw was clearly AI-generated art of a skeleton with six fingers on one hand. I got curious, and upon reading reviews of this book--which i should've done BEFORE buying it--it seems clear to me that either the author is bad at writing or used genAI to write the whole thing. On the bright side, saves me the trouble of buying any of her other books.
