I Died, But He Wouldn’t Let Go

In the afterlife, you expect peace—not paperwork. But when I, Lila, finally pass the Underworld’s civil service exam, I earn the right to visit the living and maybe find answers about my own mysterious death. My first stop? Carter—the love I left behind, who’s haunted by secrets, guilt, and a new girl with a familiar face. As I chase down lost memories, rumors swirl, betrayals surface, and the truth behind my suicide threatens to unravel everything I thought I knew. With the lines between love and vengeance blurring, Carter spirals toward his own breaking point, determined to make those who destroyed me pay. But can we find forgiveness, or will the past drag us both under—forever? When love and grief meet at the edge of the afterlife, is there any way back, or are some wounds too deep to heal?
