Love Is Death
The Afterdeath Book 1
by L.P. Masters
Genre: YA Paranormal
Gina’s
plan for her afterlife is simple: survive as long as possible. The
afterlife is a ghost-kill-ghost kind of place. When she meets
newly-dead Alec, she can’t help her desire to protect him. Before
she knows it, she finds herself falling for him, despite the little
voice in her head telling her it’s a bad idea. Alec’s goals don’t
mesh well with Gina’s plans. Determined to save his living sister
from a murderer, he’s willing to disobey the laws of a
well-established cult in the afterlife. If the cult finds out,
they’ll kill him. Again. He’s hesitant to accept Gina’s help
and threaten her afterlife, but he’s guaranteed to fail without
her. Together they embark on a perilous mission, but the most
dangerous aspect of all is the threat of falling in love. Because in
the afterlife... love is death.

"Why are you doing this?" Alec asked
abruptly.
My breath hitched. I didn't know how to
answer. The same question had plagued me since we'd left the Chinaman's
warehouse. Why was I doing this? I knew the answer in my gut, but I didn't want
to say it.
I did anyway.
"Because I don't want to see you get hurt
ag…"
I barely stopped myself before I said again, then wondered if he'd noticed. I frowned when it
became obvious that he had, but thankfully I was turned away from him looking
out the windshield.
"What was that?"
"I said I don't want to see you get
hurt."
He was quiet for a moment. "Did you say again?"
The wiper blades must have swished water off
the windshield at least ten times before I said anything. I tried to come up
with an excuse, but I finally decided the truth would be the best option.
"Yes. Again." I looked out the
window. I couldn't bear to see him. "I was there when you got shot."
"Yes!"
His response surprised me, so I turned around
in my seat to look at him.
"I knew I wasn't crazy."
I shrugged. "I'm not so sure about that.
But how does my being there mean you're sane?"
"I told Gary that I saw you before I
died, and he told me it was impossible. I swore when I first met you that
I'd…" His eyes glazed over as if remembering what he'd done. "I asked
you for help."
I forced a smile even though I desperately
wanted to cry. "Begged was more like it."
"But you left."
I faced forward again. This was precisely the
reason I hadn't wanted to tell him I was there. He didn't even realize what I'd
done for him, the danger I'd put myself in to try to save him. I could have
told him but I was filled with rage that I'd even tried, and filled with guilt
that I had failed.
"I'm sorry." Alec sat forward and
placed a hand on my shoulder. Like every time he touched me, I felt that
incredible heat rushing down my arm and into my core. He shook his head.
"I'm not mad at you. In fact, knowing what I know now, I'm glad you
left."
I held my breath to keep myself from saying
anything. I wanted to tell him I hadn't left, but at the same time, I was
determined not to.
