Book Description:
Carpe diem the hell out of love.
In the year 2222, venturing outdoors is dangerous. Exposure to the searing ultraviolet rays of the sun could turn anyone into a crispy critter. The ocean is a toxic stew of chemicals and home to a horror show of mutant monsters. When a three-eyed creature skulks out of the sea to nibble on Leo, his beautiful neighbor comes to the rescue.
Since the tragic accident that resulted in Ivy’s cybernetic limb, she’s embraced the mantra “you only live once,” but her dangerous plans might be more a death wish than a desire to carpe diem the hell out of life.
Can Leo convince Ivy that nothing makes a person feel more alive than taking a chance on love?

KISS ME DEAD
by Serena Jayne
With only the light of their love, Simon and Lila attempt to conquer darkness and death.
A jaded grim reaper…
Unlike the other reapers, Simon plans to fight his addiction to the euphoria he receives during the separation of a human’s soul from its body. Denying himself the rush may have disastrous consequences, yet if he gives into the temptation, he will lose the woman he’s come to love more than the earth-shattering high of reaping.
A suicidal woman…
Lila’s desire to end her life makes her vulnerable to reapers seeking a fix. Simon provides a diversion from her dark thoughts and ignites her will to life, but even true love might not be enough to break the iron-clad contract that comes with his grim occupation.
