Synopsis
Perfect for fans of Ninth House , Nightshade , and Neon Gods , Death's Daughter is a dark, spicy and deliciously autumnal contemporary romantic fantasy in a dark academia setting, in which the only daughter of Death is named his successor, making her both a powerful ally and a massive target, all while she tries to make it through her final year at college . . . Time for her to join the family business Jocasta's carved out a normal life at Beecher University―well, as normal as possible with a name like Jocasta and being the only child of Death. She has good friends and a messy situationship with her former TA. But her friends, her crush, and her classmates don't know the truth about who - or what - she is. They would be horrified to discover Jo must feed to survive - and she feeds on them. But she refuses to take lives, feasting instead on their disappointments, failures, and rejections. It's not a perfect system, but it works. Until a sexy stranger - and descendant of Lust - shows up on campus because Death just named Jo as his successor, making her a powerful ally and a massive target. Jo's safe little bubble is about to burst, but she will do anything to protect the people she loves. Even if it means becoming what she hates...
