The Reluctant Undertaker

Life is conspiring against Isabella. It’s hard to be the responsible one, especially when it's the last thing you want. After her mother’s death, Isabella put her dreams on hold to run the family business—the Fandelli Funeral Home. She’s back in Wyrdwood, single, fighting with her sister, and trying hard not to act out in frustration.

When the beat drops, people die.

After a moonlit rave, a young woman ends up on Isabella's slab. The evidence suggests it was no ordinary overdose, and more deaths follow. As Isabella investigates, she attracts the attention of the killer. He chooses her to be Bacchus's Bride, the one who will bring about human extinction.

Can you flirt with evil without losing everything?
