Blurb
They told her to go to Hell. She went, but on her own terms. Lily isn’t exactly thrilled with her arrival in the Afterlife, but what awaits her there is more fantastical than she ever could have imagined: Deities wait in line at the coffee shop. Fae flit between realms. Souls find ways to make death a beginning. As she explores the many corners of the Afterlife, Lily finds herself surprisingly drawn to a place most people would avoid at all costs: Hell. Armed with years of customer service experience and pent-up sarcasm, Lily carves a job out for herself amongst Hell’s demons, sending souls to their rightful circles with more than a hint of sass. Lily’s expectations are subverted every day in Hell—especially by Bel, a demon general with a distractingly sexy voice. The two meet by chance and form an immediate, deeply healing friendship, but the undeniable heat between them threatens to combust. Meanwhile, something stirs beyond the boundaries of their world, threatening to destroy everything they’ve known and everything that could be… unless they fight like Hell to stop it.

Continues that found-family bond with similar slow-burn heat, though leans heavier into war stakes than Lily's cozy Hell.

Shares the found-family wandering-into-a-new-world charm with forbidden slow-burn tension, but gentler and lower spice.

Same forbidden slow-burn romance feel with an afterlife-adjacent death magic, but much darker and spicier.
Fanged & the Fae
Keeps the witty found-family banter and slow-burn fae romance, lighter holiday tone instead of Hell's bureaucracy.
