About this book

Life after death is supposed to be peaceful, right?

You die, float off to paradise, and spend eternity sipping celestial cocktails with your fellow ghosts.

Yeah. No.

Turns out, my lying, cheating, suffocating husband had other plans. Literally. He wrapped his hands around my throat and squeezed the life out of me—and just like that, my story should've been over.

But Death had other ideas.

I got a choice: move on like a good little ghost, or wait for my husband to die so I could personally drag his soul to hell.

Obviously, I chose revenge.

Side effect? It came with a job.

Now, I'm a Grim Reaper. Death's errand girl. And while it's not exactly the dream career path, at least it's simple. Clock in, reap a soul, clock out. No drama. No surprises.

Until they showed up.

Three dangerously unhinged, sexy-as-sin psychopaths with a habit of leaving trails of bodies behind them. They've done the impossible: cheated death, bound me to them, and now they won't let me go.

Why? No clue. But something tells me it's not because they're looking for a fourth player in their murder club.

Now, I'm stuck between three deranged outlaws and the wrath of Father Death himself—and let me tell you, he is pissed.

Peaceful afterlife? Gone.

Surviving my second chance at existence? Looking dicey.

And falling for the men who could very well end the world? Well. That's a whole other problem.

Forgotten is the first part in The Soulbound Series. It's a paranormal dark Reverse Harem romance featuring morally gray love interests, forced proximity, and a heroine who's just trying to survive the absolute dumpster fire that is her afterlife. Expect slow-burn spice, chaos, murder husbands, and a whole lot of "touch her and die" energy.

Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

Cliffhanger banter and understanding

November 21, 2025

This was a very unique story. It drew me in from chapter 1 and kept me tethered to it. It’s full of drama, suspense and banter and makes you want to read on. Skye is amazing and strong and fierce yet full of curiosity. The guys you will learn to love! The end in a major cliffhanger. Finished in 2 days! )

Interesting take on reapers

Over all a good book. Some minor Overall, a good book. Some minor editing errors, but all in all, a good story. The ending can't truly be called a cliffhanger; however, it is close enough that I groaned when I finished the book. errors but all in all a good story.

When a grim reaper is suddenly seen

April 10, 2025

Imagine just minding your own business reaping souls as required and waiting for your chance at revenge. Then out of nowhere someone sees you. That's not even possible is it? Well apparently for these three men they can indeed see you and not only that they decide they need you so they have tied you to them. Unfortunately or maybe fortunately for you they are a wet dream in life. Too bad you can't actually touch them because your sex life when you were alive was nothing special. This book is...

Fantastic!!!!

This was a very different and unique story. It definitely drew me in and kept me glued to it. The drama, action and a bit of suspense. This story is one that is incredibly intriguing and has you on the edge of your seat. The story is well written and developed. We end in a major cliffhanger. I absolutely cannot wait to see what happens next. ) One person found this helpful

This was the first book of Pen Mucching's that I've read, and I must say, I'm hooked!! From the very first page, the story had a firm grip on me! I absolutely loved it! Skye was such a great fmc who I was able to feel a strong connection with. I also loved the growth her men went through. I can't wait for book 2!!! ) One person found this helpful
