About this ebook

Dive into this FREE new adult coming of age grim reaper story filled with action-packed drama and supernatural angst by urban fantasy author Thea Atkinson.

She doesn’t believe in monsters. Until one believes in her.

Ayla has spent her life on the outside—shuffled through foster homes after her parents’ deaths, never staying long enough to belong. She doesn’t believe in magic, or monsters, or anything that can’t be explained. Not even when her bold, bright friend Sarah starts whispering about dark spells and witchcraft. But when Sarah disappears, everything changes.

Now living with the grandfather she’s never met, Ayla tries to settle into a new life in her mother’s mysterious hometown. The house is full of secrets, and the town’s Gothic ruins seem to hum with power. Still, Ayla is determined to keep her head down, finish high school, and forget the past.

Until a late-night text shatters the illusion of safety.

Sarah is in danger—and helping her means breaking into an abandoned cathedral with a haunted reputation. What Ayla finds inside is more than shadows. It’s the truth about who she is… and what the monsters have been afraid of.

A reluctant heroine.

A secret legacy of soul-reaping magic.

A dangerous world she was never meant to survive—unless she embraces the darkness within.

Perfect for fans of new adult fantasy romance, secret identities, found family, and magic hidden in plain sight. If you love Luanne Bennett, Amanda Bouchet, or supernatural thrillers with slow-burn tension, Grim will pull you into the shadows—and dare you to stay there.

Grim is an exciting book to read. Ayla.. teenaged girl is an exciting main character.. there isn't anything that she wouldn't do for a friend. There is Callum.. tall and very good looking .. he is something very special. Sarah is like Ayla's sister in every way possible but there is no blood tie relation. Ayla's Gramp is amazing, he is well loved by Ayla and Sarah. Azreal is a character that is tricky he can pop in and out when he feels like it.. and he has a mission that is very unique. Blend action, surprise and suspense together and you have the making of one awesome story. I loved reading Grim
