Book excerpt: Poppy's skull over heels in love, and not even death can stop her... Poppy Grim dreams of starring in a real-life rom-com. Instead, she's an overworked, lonely grim reaper with chronic motion sickness from ferrying souls to the afterlife. She adheres to all the reaper handbook rules except one-she regularly visits the love she lost twelve years ago when she passed. She's not worried-humans can only see her when they are about to die, after all-until Jake looks up and says her name. Supernatural Investigator Jake Robinson wants to leave active duty because of past on-the-job injuries, but he's determined to finish solving the most important case of his career first. His plans sink like the Titanic-his ghost roommate's favorite movie-when he sees Poppy. With death looming, they both risk everything-including their hearts-and work together to keep Jake alive while he stops the people threatening his family. But love is a losing game when the punishment for a reaper-human relationship is permanent removal from existence.

Download or read book Devoted to Death written by R. Andrew Chesnut and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-09-06 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R. Andrew Chesnut offers a fascinating portrayal of Santa Muerte, a skeleton saint whose cult has attracted millions of devotees over the past decade. Although condemned by mainstream churches, this folk saint's supernatural powers appeal to millions of Latin Americans and immigrants in the U.S. Devotees believe the Bony Lady (as she is affectionately called) to be the fastest and most effective miracle worker, and as such, her statuettes and paraphernalia now outsell those of the Virgin of Guadalupe and Saint Jude, two other giants of Mexican religiosity. In particular, Chesnut shows Santa Muerte has become the patron saint of drug traffickers, playing an important role as protector of peddlers of crystal meth and marijuana; DEA agents and Mexican police often find her altars in the safe houses of drug smugglers. Yet Saint Death plays other important roles: she is a supernatural healer, love doctor, money-maker, lawyer, and angel of death. She has become without doubt one of the most popular and powerful saints on both the Mexican and American religious landscapes.
