Reaper Girl

Grim Reaper Leliel made a mistake – she tried to reap the soul of a man who wasn't dead. Now she has to escort him through the Underworld in an effort to get it back before he turns incorporeal – a fate truly worse than death. But the real challenge is not falling for the young, handsome, funny guy who hates her for destroying his life. No pressure.
