"So this is what they mean when they say your life flashes before your eyes when you die."

Betrayed. Battered. Broken. 

Evangeline Vermillion has had enough of her pathetic life. She was young—only in her early 20s—and she had planned to end it all by setting herself on fire. 

That was how she met Death—cold, dark, tall, and...handsome? Huh. Who knew the Grim Reaper could look like that? He takes her hand and guides her through the In-Between, the sacred realm between the Land of the Living and the Afterlife. Together, they revisit her most important memories. From the misfortunes of her childhood, to the chaos and bloodshed of the wrong kinds of love, Evangeline must confront the demons of her past to get to The Other Side.

Through all of the pain and anguish, Death stands with her, an enigmatic companion and unlikely confidant. And in their brief waltz between realms, Evangeline finally finds what she always wanted but never had: to belong and to be loved.

Waltz with Death

"What happened to Klaus after?" Fake Death asked, his voice echoing inside my head like a brain-built intercom.

"I don't know!" I shouted, frantically scanning the towering shelves for any indication of the next memory I could access.

The vastness of this memory storage section was overwhelming, and I had no clear idea of where to proceed.

"Oh, right." He muttered under his breath. "I just remembered that you claimed you don't recall the previous memory happening, so the subsequent ones are obviously not something you remember."

"'Claimed'?" I repeated, frustration bubbling within me as I spun around, expecting to see Fake Death standing behind me. But there was nothing but the cold, damp air of the memory storage house. "You don't believe me?"

Fake Death made a sound as if he hesitated.

"You  don't  believe me!" I repeated, this time in declarative form and with a tinge of irritation.
