When Calliope Reaper Jones' sister, Thalia, plots with the
Devil and has their father murdered, Callie is next in line
to become the new President of Death Inc. In other words,
Callie will be the next grim reaper. Unfortunately, Callie
is hardly prepared for her new job. Good thing Callie has
her father's former executive as her new Vice President.
Jarvis is a reincarnated faun, but had an untimely death
after Callie accidentally wished him dead. Now Jarvis is
her right hand man and the only one who can prepare her for
Death Inc's annual Death Dinner and Masquerade Ball. As if
Callie doesn't have enough to worry about, she has to face
her gorgeous ex boyfriend, Daniel, at the ball being held at
the Haunted Hearts Hotel in California.
The annual Death Dinner and Masquerade Ball will be Callie's
first official act as the new President of Death Inc. But
trying to remember the names of the four visiting Vice
Presidents turns out to be the least of her worries when a
series of shocking murders rock the Haunted Hearts Hotel.
When the legendary book "How to be Death" originally stolen
from the Hall of Death goes missing in between murders,
Callie, Jarvis, and Daniel try to single out the murder by
considering everyone at the annual event a suspect. The
book, thought to be lost during antiquity by humans, was
written in angelic language. If any unsuspecting humans get
their hands on it, they will die an instant death, that is,
right after their face melts away. But the most dangerous
thing about the lost book is that anyone who finds out has
to ability to bring on the apocalypse. As the new grim
reaper, Callie knows it's up to her to find the missing book
or it could literally be the end of the world!
