Better Off Dead: The Lily Harper Series - Paperback

by H. P. Mallory (Author)

First in the Lily Harper Series from New York Times Bestselling Author, HP Mallory!

If there's such a thing as luck, I definitely don't have it.

Killed in a car accident before it's my time to go, I just learned that the hereafter isn't exactly what I hoped it might be.

First, there's AfterLife Enterprises...

Learning my death was indirectly their fault, Afterlife Enterprises offers me the chance to live again, but beware the fine print. Fine print = becoming a soul retriever. And, no, that's not a new dog breed.

I'll now be venturing into the bowels of the Underground City (think hell) to retrieve souls that were mistakenly sent there during a Y2K glitch. Seriously.

Second, there's angel Bill...

As if risking my second life in the Underground City wasn't enough, my guide is none other than my incompetent, alcoholic, womanizing guardian angel, Bill.

My future isn't looking bright.

Finally, there's the legendary bladesmith, Tallis Black...

As Scottish as his kilts and heavy brogue, Tallis Black is a centuries-old Celt who, for reasons only known to him, offers to train me and act as my escort into the depths of the Underground City. Dark, brooding and definitely dangerous, I know I shouldn't trust Tallis, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Between soul retrieving in hell, dealing with Bill and trying to figure out what's in it for Tallis, I'm wondering if maybe I would've just been better off dead.
