Description

Isaac Frye is many things: Animal enthusiast, gay, guilty of three murders, dead.
Grim is only one thing: Tired of leading humans to their afterlife, day after day.
When Isaac dies and asks for a second chance to make up for what he did, Grim seizes the opportunity to explore the living realm with the excuse of wanting Isaac to succeed in his task.
But humanity isn’t at all what Grim expected, and now he’s stuck on the road to forgiveness with a guilt-ridden murderer by his side. Not that he can die, but there are far more pleasant ways to explore the world.
As Isaac searches his past for a forgiveness that may never come, Grim discovers the truth behind the murders; and whether his unwilling companion is irredeemable after all.
