Grim
When it comes to women, I like it simple. Hook-ups and short goodbyes are my thing. There's something about Meli, though, that keeps me coming back for more. She's carefree, exciting, and the Pres's sister, which means she's off-limits. But when she makes it clear we're not happening, it's Hadley, her twin, who reminds me not all love has to be dramatic and crazy. It can also be gentle, slow, and easy. Hadley's never been of interest to me, always too busy reading or studying. But lately, I'm noticing her more and more, and that's dangerous . . . for both of us.
She doesn't realise the damage I could cause her. Because that's what I do--I'm Grim, reaping souls and casting them aside, leaving nothing but death and destruction.
Hadley won't survive me.
Hadley
It's no secret that I've had a crush on Grim since I was a kid. I've longed for him to look at me the way he looks at my twin sister, Meli. The trouble is, she hates him, but I know how unrequited love feels, so I vow to support Grim as he deals with the rejection.
Forcing myself to live a little, I put down my books and pack away my baggy sweaters in an attempt to get on Grim's radar. And just when I think about giving up, he finally sees me!
I never knew true happiness could feel so amazing. Then, one day, it all falls down around us, leaving nothing but broken pieces and shattered hearts. I've never felt this kind of pain.
Nothing will ever be the same again . . . for any of us.
