About this book

Opal just wanted a spooky video for her paranormal channel, not a grim reaper bound to her by blood magic and bad Latin. Now Death himself, a sharp-tongued, vape-smoking punk with a centuries-old grudge against everything living, is stuck within a hundred feet of her, and he's pissed.

Cain…yes, that Cain, has spent eternity alone, reaping souls and avoiding attachment, but Opal is more than just a mortal girl with pink hair and a haunted aesthetic; she’s the first thing in ages to make him feel alive. As the bond between them deepens, so does the danger. Something ancient is stirring; the balance between life and death begins to crack.

To save the world, Death may have to break the one rule he's never dared to bend.

Because in the end, Cain will have to decide what he’s willing to sacrifice: the balance between life and death, or the girl who gave him back his heart.

This dark paranormal romance was fantastic!

November 3, 2025

4.5 stars This dark paranormal romance was fantastic! It’s got humor, violence, and a chase scene. If you want to fall in love with Death, check it out.

This started out crazy good, and it didn’t let...

The BEST book I've read all year

This book was PHENOMENAL, I was a little iffy at first but after I got to about 1/3 of the way I was hooked. I don't do spoiler reviews but this book has everything you want, real reapers, real d3ath, incredible world building that's not too much. I wish it was longer, Opal and Deaths love story is SO incredibly beautiful. I tuned the world out for this book, I couldn't take my eyes away from the pages and that meant something to me. It's hard for me to find books that capture my attention the...

Death Can Touch Me Anytime

February 14, 2026

Dear Death had no business being this seductive, this funny, and this emotionally rude all at the same time. I picked it up expecting vibes. I got vibes, tension, yearning, and a personal attack wrapped in poetic prose. Ariel Brouillette writes attraction like a slow, deliberate touch. The kind that lingers. The kind that makes you mutter “okay wow” and then keep reading faster. Death is dark, alluring, and carries that dangerous calm that makes fictional red flags look like invitations. Every...
