New York Times bestselling author Kalynn Bayron is back with a Frankenstein-tinged horror romance.

Meka is used to death. After all, it’s the family business.

As a mortician’s assistant at her parents’ funeral home, Meka’s days are not for the squeamish. Luckily, her boyfriend Noah doesn’t mind, and Meka finally feels ready to say those three little words that will change everything.

Then tragedy strikes and Meka’s world is torn apart. Nothing makes sense, especially when weird things start to happen: Strangers follow her. Mysterious items are left at her door. And worst of all...

The dead don’t seem to be staying dead.

Meka thought she understood death better than anyone, but it turns out the family business is more complicated than it seemed. And Meka isn’t the only one desperate to unearth their secrets… because the truth may be worth dying for.
