Anson is in love with David. He’s in love so much that some days, he can’t leave his pod and go to work because David will be there, and David will not recognize him at all. Anson is a Grim Reaper assigned to the soul David, who is working through the traumas of his human life in order to leave purgatory and ascend to whatever comes next. He’s been trapped in his loop for a decade, never completing it and always thrown back to the front. And each time, Anson drags himself back to the long strip of road and tries to help the man he loves, who forgets him at the end of every cycle, to finally move on to a place where Anson can never follow him. But today is different. According to his superiors, this is Anson’s last cycle to try to send David through before he’s reassigned. No matter how this ends, Anson will never see David again. But ten years ago, the first time they fell in love, David begged him to be the last face he saw. So Anson will do anything and everything to make sure he keeps his promise. He’ll be with David until the very end. This queer paranormal suspense romance is the second installment of the Waking Up series.

Christopher Turner has woken up in terrible situations before. A veteran of both war and a frat house, he’s used to waking up at the drop of a hat, to something he didn’t fall asleep to and some place he didn’t fall asleep in. But this — in the middle of an otherwise empty forest with only the clothes on his back, half of his memories gone, and a panicked, twitchy civilian — is definitely the worst way he’s ever woken up. Turner doesn’t know where he’s at or how he’s gotten here. He doesn’t know if he trusts Ambrose, the rugged, sarcastic, and petrified passenger on this trip from hell. But the one thing he does know is that he’s going to figure it out — and he’s going to get home to his daughter. As the mysteries of the forest start to unveil themselves, and Ambrose becomes more and more intertwined with the answers, Turner’s got a lot to figure out and not a lot of time to do it. Follow Turner and Ambrose on their journey to the truth — and to each other. This queer paranormal suspense romance is about finding the truth, and a reason to live, no matter the cost.
