Death is a Girl

Morrigan died as the unwilling sacrifice in a demonic ritual, but the Grim Reaper has another plan for this wayward soul—to make her his new apprentice! Reaping isn't exactly her dream summer job, (long hours, crappy pay, no benefits) but with the alternative being banished to limbo, she's ready to give it a shot! Will Morrigan embrace her new role as a bringer of death, or cling hopelessly to her lost humanity? Either way, she'll have to adapt to a world of spirits, hollows, black magic, and demons while completing her daily murder list is "just part of the job." *** What to expect: It varies between slice-of-life and darker and/or emotional themes. I wanted this story to be fun and able to make readers smile on occasion while also keeping consistent with a harsh reality and displaying realistic human struggles. Morrigan's character flaws are intentional and meant to give her room to grow. There is eventually a GL relationship. The world is basically our world but different in many ways, with the existence of reapers, witches, and gods being woven into history. This story also contains gore and body horror elements. Additional Warning: While this is, in part, a coming-of-age story, it also deals heavily with death and the many forms it comes in. This includes murder, suicide, drug overdose, gruesome traffic accidents, and more. If these topics are something you'd rather avoid, please read something else. Some particular chapters are gorier, more intense, and/or darker/traumatizing than others. I don't like doing trigger warnings at the beginning of chapters, so consider this your warning and proceed with caution if these are things that may bother you. ***** I plan for this to be a very long series spanning many centuries. The first few volumes will cover Morrigan's first years as an apprentice reaper, but I imagine later volumes covering her existence hundreds (or even thousands) of years from now as an experienced bringer of death.
