Ruin's Lot: Reaper's Hollow Book One Novel

Ru Roberts is a fourth-grade teacher in Reaper's Hollow who has always believed she ruins everything, a conviction reinforced by her adoptive mother. Her life takes an unexpected turn when Cutter Michaels, a charming new colleague, claims she is a Keeper—the daughter of a half-angel and half-demon—and the only person capable of stopping someone from killing unmarked souls. Ru dismisses his fantastical claims until she witnesses him shoot blue fire from his hands and begins experiencing vivid dreams where she encounters Thanatos, the most powerful Reaper. As Ru grapples with her mysterious abilities and inability to touch electrical objects without causing fires, she finds herself drawn deeper into Cutter's world. Together, they must locate three portals that Reapers use to ferry souls to the Underworld. This first book in the Reaper's Hollow series explores Ru's transformation as she uncovers her true identity, discovers her origins, and learns to harness her extraordinary powers while racing to close the portals before more unmarked souls are claimed.
