Synopsis

Sebbie Life's pretty good. I love my job, I feed the crows in my yard, and I have some awesome friends. Sure, I was kidnapped by a cult recently, but my friends rescued me, so no harm done. And, okay, people do tend to die around me, but I work in a hospital. That's normal... right? Death isn't scary anyway-it's just another beginning. Unfortunately, most guys I date don't see it that way. My love life has been pretty empty, but I just met someone new. He's ridiculously cute and even likes crows. I just hope he's not scared off when he learns about my job. Corbin I take great satisfaction in removing hellbound souls from the world-especially the ones who prey on the weak. With my pack and my familiar, Crow, at my side, life is steady and peaceful. At least, it was until Sebbie. The cute, bubbly man is far more than he realizes, and he's about to turn everything upside down. There's just one little problem: he doesn't know the supernatural exists... or that he's a supernatural being. I want to help him harness his powers, but there's a catch-if I'm not careful, Sebbie might end up killing me in the process. Tags: Crows hold grudges; Death is actually cheerful; Corbin's as obsessed with shiny things as his birds; The pack shows up to create chaos; Thea is determined to be Sebbie's new bestie; Jude doesn't get arrested (or maybe he does?); there's torture and death (but only of really bad people); hellhounds have tails, and they know how to use them.
