1. Do not interfere with someone's death. 2. Do not become emotionally involved. 3. Do not show yourself to the living. As a grim reaper, seventeen-year-old Xia has to follow these Rules. But when she meets Shilah, a Native American boy who can see reapers, she figures the rules don't apply. To find out why he can see her, she pretends to be human, since carrying a scythe probably isn't the latest teen craze. Things become unnerving as she begins experiencing first-time affection with Shilah, but she's irreversibly drawn to him. Suddenly Xia finds herself breaking Rule Two, even while collecting dead souls behind Shilah's back. It isn't long before she is caught red-handed by the Angel of Death himself, and then not only is her relationship at risk, but also Shilah's soul. And this leaves Xia wondering: can love overcome Death?

When Xia learns she is to become the next Angel of Death, she realizes a future with Shilah might be impossible. Between her Death training and a tragic event, things become even more rocky in their relationship. However, they are getting more physically intimate with each other than ever before, leading Xia to terrifying new heights and making her wonder just how far a grim reaper can go with a human being. During one of her training sessions with Death, Xia meets the other Three Horsemen: Pestilence, War, and Famine. They feel she isn’t worthy of the title “Death”. However, if she can’t fulfill her duty as the new Angel of Death, the consequences for the world of the living will be dire. In Grim Fate, the second novel of the Grimly Ever After trilogy, S. L. Bynum continues the love story of Xia and Shilah, filled with more stakes and tension than ever before…and delivers another shocking ending that will change everything.

Xia, the Angel of Death, is grieving after a recent tragedy. She has nearly given up hope that she can stop the other Three Horsemen of the Apocalypse—War, Famine, and Pestilence—who have thrown the balance of life and death drastically off balance. Then, Shilah comes to Xia and convinces her to keep fighting. Along with their friends, the two of them begin devising a plan to defeat the Horsemen. They break all the Rules of Reaping along the way, trying to set things right. Xia’s love for Shilah keeps her going through it all, but in the back of her mind she doubts the two of them will have a future together, since she’s immortal and he’s human. And then something happens to Shilah that changes everything, and only time will tell if their love is eternal or just a teenage fling. The final book of the Grimly Ever After trilogy, GRIM ETERNAL, is the thrilling conclusion to Xia and Shilah’s intense paranormal relationship.
