In C.S.E. Cooney’s new book Saint Death’s Daughter, necromancer Lanie Stone is in a bit of a pickle. When their parents are murdered, Lanie and her cheerfully psychotic sister Nita need to settle their extensive debts or lose their ancestral home. Hunted by enemies, hounded by her family’s creditors and terrorised by the ghost of her great-grandfather, Lanie will need more than luck to get through the next few months—but when the goddess of Death is on your side, anything is possible.
Death is only the beginning in TJ Klune’s new book Under the Whispering Door. When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects he really might be dead. Instead of leading him directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Hugo is the tea shop's owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who need to cross over. But Wallace isn't ready to abandon the life he barely lived. When given one week to cross over, he sets about living a lifetime in seven days with Hugo’s help
