Death's Justice for Me

Eighteen-year-old Grace Whitmore dies after four years of torment by the family that should have protected her. She leaves Death a one-star review: “You came too late.” Stung, Death possesses her corpse and returns to the mortal world, only to suffer the same abuse—electric shock collars, neglect, fire, and drowning. When he reveals his true form, he drags the Whitmore family into the underworld. A magical light screen exposes every cruelty they committed, and karmic justice begins. Moved by Grace’s pain, Death asks the Underworld Lord to let her live again. She is reborn at eighteen with all her memories, while Death surrenders his thousand-year power to become a mortal named Hugh and stay by her side. Together they get a second chance at life, love, and a promised eight-thousand-word five-star review at eighty.
