Well, actually, she’s having a bad life -- not that she's complaining. Okay, she's totally complaining.After being laid off from her secretarial position, she has no choice but to join the family business, and now she’s a full-time grim reaper. That’s right. She collects and transfers souls to the hereafter.Cool, huh? Not quite.On the second day of her new job, Aisling (literally!) stumbles over a dead body that’s not on her list and the stakes are suddenly raised because, when a name isn’t on the list, that means someone stole it (and that's never a good thing). Aisling’s family, which consists of a tempestuous father and four overbearing older brothers, are hot on the case – but the answers they’re coming up with aren’t exactly soothing. It seems a contingent of wraiths have descended on the area, and they’re not just dangerous for unsuspecting souls and the general populace. The Grimlock family is at risk, too. If that weren’t bad enough, Aisling finds herself inexplicably drawn to Detective Griffin Taylor – the police officer who considers her a murder suspect. Oh, and she's a wraith-magnet -- although, truth be told, she's more interested in Detective Taylor. Aisling is determined to prove that she has what it takes to be a great reaper – even if it means risking her life and proving her father and brothers wrong when it comes to her competence level.When things finally become clear, will Aisling survive long enough to make things right? Or, will she fall prey to the wraiths and the individual controlling them? less

In fact, she was dead set against it. When an economic downturn causes her to lose her job, she’s forced to go to desperate measures to earn a living. Aisling comes from a big family of grim reapers – no, you read that right. She’s the youngest of five siblings – and the only girl – and the testosterone is going to hit the fan when the Grimlocks try to teach Aisling the ropes and keep her safe at the same time. Between rogue wraiths, murderous new acquaintances and gargoyles dropping from the sky, Aisling has her hands full. That’s on top of four brothers (and one curmudgeonly father) who would die for her – while also killing for her – and a police officer who’s desperate to learn the family secret. Follow Aisling as she delves into the mystery of her mother’s death and a world she never wanted to explore – and yet might fit in all the same. This omnibus includes the first three books in the Aisling Grimlock mystery series: Grim Tidings, Grim Offerings and Grim Discovery. less

Her boyfriend is keeping a secret … with her brother. She’s finally on her own collecting souls for the family reaping business. Oh, and her mother is back from the dead and may be eating people to keep herself alive. When trouble comes knocking and someone Aisling adores is left injured in the crossfire, she’s out for blood and vengeance. Her brothers want to believe their mother is telling the truth – and part of Aisling does, too – but protecting those she loves is more important than buried memories. Griffin vows to stand by Aisling, but he’s out of his element and worried the weight of the world may drag her down. He fears he doesn’t have the strength to stop it. Aisling wants the truth, and she’s willing to fight to get it. Sometimes a good lie is better than a bad truth, though, and Aisling might not like what she finds at the end of memory lane. The final fight is between good and evil, but who will end up on what side? less
