Love isn’t dead. Unfortunately, she is.

Verdella ‘Dell‘ Rodgers’ life is exactly where she wants it to be: a rising star in San Francisco’s hottest restaurant and days away from marrying into one of the city’s most powerful families.

That is, until Cole Lewis – an entry-level clerk in the Afterlife Administration – accidentally reaps her soul.

So when Dell wakes up dead a week before her wedding, she’s less than thrilled to find herself stuck between the afterlife and the land of the living – visible only to the man who killed her. Fixing it should be simple. Instead, it turns out dying was the easy part.

Because the more Dell sees of her life from the outside, the less certain she feels about going back to it.
And if it means leaving Cole behind for good…is she ready to let him go?

A swoony, paranormal romance to die for. Perfect for fans of B.K. Borison’s Good Spirits, Ashley Poston’s The Dead Romantics, and Kirsty Greenwood’s The Love of My Afterlife.

Reviews

You'll Be the Death of Me is a whimsical romp through the afterlife: a story of both the love we're fated to find, and the ride-or-die friends who remind us our happiness is the ultimate measure of success. With Holly Michelle's magical touch, even death - with its unique power to make us confront our biggest mistakes and deepest longings - feels lighthearted and full of hope. Dell and Cole's love story will haunt you in the very best way.
Ellen O'Clover, author of The Heartbreak Hotel
Witty, emotional and utterly delightful, Michelle takes you on a whirlwind adventure that is full of heart. Beyond the addicting otherworldly escapades, Dell's journey of self discovery hits you right in the feels.
Ava Rani, author of The Heir
You'll Be the Death of Me asks big questions about risk, fate, and death without ever losing its zest for life. It's clever, zany, and wonderfully optimistic-and you won't be able to turn pages fast enough to figure out how Dell and Cole's love story ends.
Katie Naymon, author of You Between the Lines
