Mo Noonan's life is falling apart. She's failed out of grad school. Her fiancé just dumped her in front of all her friends. Her mother thinks she's a failure. And now she's dead. It's hard making friends with the dead, especially when you've been murdered, but Aedan Hanlon is willing to show Mo how to navigate the Underworld, though he keeps going on and on about facing her Truth. After spending time with Aedan, Mo begins to wonder, can the dead fall in love? And if they do, why does the Goddess of the Dead have to mess everything up? Why can't Mo and Aedan just rest in peace?
