Synopsis: When her father died, Lucy Mae Estmond inherited the family business. She has known all of her life that she would be in line to watch over the souls of the recently passed, keeping them safe from the Reapers.
The soul eating Reapers have been a plague upon the Earth, stealing souls and leaving the Keepers as the only thing that stands between Heaven and Hell. The factions despise each other and have warred for generations.
Then Lucy discovers an ancient legend predicting the arrival of the Chosen One, destined to bring forth an end to the Reapers. The surprises continue when she realizes she is that person. For Lucy, being the Chosen One doesn’t change much. Fighting Reapers is just another day in the life of a Keeper.
When she meets Jack Walker, they both realize they have an insane, mutual attraction. Too bad that he’s been sent to prevent the prophecy from coming true. His only mission: to kill the Chosen One.
 
My Review: I read this story because I really enjoyed the prequel, it follows Kat and Gregory’s children who are following their legacy as Keepers of the Estmond graveyard now that their dad has passed away.
 
The Estmond children find out that Lucy is the Chosen One who will end the Reapers but for her she just wants to get on with her job and look after the souls, that is until she meets Jack. Jack is a Reaper who has been sent to kill her by his mother the Empress of the Reapers to stop the prophecy from coming true but things don’t go as he plans when he discovers that the usual burning of skin that they get from touching a Keeper or Reaper isn’t there.
 
Jack can’t kill her, he finds himself falling for her so when she is kidnapped by his best friend the Estmonds enlist him to help get Lucy back and the two enemy’s band together to rescue Lucy.
