Daughter of the Drowned (The Darkness Duet Book 1)

Lovely Timms, a twenty-one-year-old woman, has spent the last four years struggling with addiction and denial following her drowning. During this time, she has been plagued by otherworldly visions. When her father's apparition visits her, she begins to accept that her hauntings are real. Determined to understand why the dead are haunting her, she travels to New Orleans—the occult-filled city—accompanied by her childhood best friend Tino. As Lovely's abilities intensify, she encounters Death itself: a being with a face, a name, and a compelling voice. Death is drawn to Lovely, and she must confront him in the Underworld to uncover the truth behind her affliction. The story combines romantic fantasy with elements of gore and explores themes of childhood friends to lovers and romance with significant steam.
