Summary
When the Grim Reaper develops feelings for the children’s librarian whose soul he is supposed to collect, he finds that with feelings comes something far worse than death—life.
Helena Hart isn’t having the best night. Her date just ditched her, her Halloween costume bombed, and her only sympathetic ear is a dead silent partygoer in a Grim Reaper get-up. But when she falls off a balcony and he catches her with a very real skeletal hand, she realizes he may not…

Critics Review
“A Date with Death delivers the grumpy/sunshine dynamic of my dreams! Fantastical and fun—this one will have you giggling and kicking your feet.” —Lana Ferguson, USA Today Bestselling Author
“Creagh’s effervescent writing weaves fun library hijinks (like a possessed bookmobile with spooky spice), chosen family, and a sneakily profound message about what it means to live. Readers will willingly get their hearts reaped by this devastatingly cute romance.” —Booklist
“Creagh puts a supernatural twist on the grumpy/sunshine dynamic in this addictive paranormal romance. The setup feels classic, but Creagh shines in the unique details that make her larger-than-life characters (especially Grim’s scene-stealing work family) leap off the page. Add in heaps of humor and whimsy, and this redemptive romance beguiles.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
“A bubbly children’s librarian and the literal Grim Reaper are the ultimate grumpy/sunshine pairing in this excellently written, emotionally resonant romance…Creagh has done an excellent job crafting a believable and poignant version of the afterlife in which to set this romance, and the book has some truly heart-wrenching moments amid its twists and turns.” —Library Journal, starred review
