Death's Daughter
Jo Trelane is a psychology student at Beecher University, a campus beside a moody cemetery near Salem, Massachusetts. She is also the only child of Death. She has spent years refusing her father's legacy, building an ordinary life with good friends, strong classes and a complicated secret romance with her former TA. She feeds on her classmates' disappointments rather than taking lives.
Then Death names her his sole successor. The Old Ones stir, bodies begin turning up on campus, and Jo becomes both a powerful ally and a prime target. Devon, a descendant of Lust, offers his help for a price, and she has to decide whom to trust and whom to want. Jo will do anything to protect the people she loves, even if it means becoming a monster.
Death's Daughter is a steamy paranormal romance with a dark academia setting and a love triangle at its centre. It is the first book in the Children of the Old Ones series.
