The Reaper’s Gambit by Janet Oppedisano

A woman searching for a killer. A Reaper intent on saving her soul. And the list that will bind their fates together.

Danielle Edmonds
The authorities claim the deaths of my parents and brother were an accident, but I know the truth… someone killed them. My suspicions are confirmed when two thugs break into my house searching for something of my father’s.
However, all they find is me. They leave me for dead–alone until Ellis arrives at my side and tells me so many things that can’t be real. Instead of doing his job and reaping my soul, he grants me two additional weeks of life.
Now I have two weeks to track down my family’s killer.

Ellis Grimm
The cardinal rule of reaping: Don’t get emotionally involved. But the night I took Danielle’s father, something drew me to her and I’ve tried watching over her ever since.
When I hear whispers she’s about to be cast into the Pit of the Damned, it’s time to intervene. I’m allowed two weeks of vacation per century. If I spend it with her and remind her of the greatest things in life, surely she’ll give up her quest for vengeance.
Now I have two weeks to redeem her soul. But she’s stubborn, and I’m not sure if two weeks will be enough.
