About this ebook
Perfect for fans of Ninth House, Nightshade, and Neon Gods, Death's Daughter is a dark, grounded, and occasionally gruesome contemporary romantic fantasy in a dark academia setting, in which the only daughter of Death has been named his successor, and must navigate the treacherous world of the Old Gods and their powerful offspring, from USA Today bestselling author S.A. Barnes.

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...
