Thank you to TBR and Beyond Tour for choosing me as one of the participants in the #TheKeeperofNight tour. Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes and Noble | Book Depository | Indigo | IndieBound Determined to earn respect, Ren accepts an impossible task-find and eliminate three dangerous Yokai demons-and learns how far she’ll go to claim her place at Death’s side. Accompanied by her younger brother, the only being on earth to care for her, Ren enters the Japanese underworld to serve the Goddess of Death… only to learn that here, too, she must prove herself worthy. When her failure to control her Shinigami abilities drives Ren out of London, she flees to Japan to seek the acceptance she’s never gotten from her fellow Reapers.

Expected to obey the harsh hierarchy of the Reapers who despise her, Ren conceals her emotions and avoids her tormentors as best she can. Half British Reaper, half Japanese Shinigami, Ren Scarborough has been collecting souls in the London streets for centuries.
