Bücher der Reihe Max Logan

Max Logan's insecurities have consumed her to the point she has allowed them to skew her perceptions of people and circumstances. She has grown progressively more bitter, sarcastic, and solitary since her divorce and feels as though she has spent a lifetime getting the short end of the stick through no fault of her own; still she trudges on. Things can always get better, right? Of course, it's hard to cultivate optimism when she finds herself dead, the victim of a D.I.E (Death in Error) caused by an overeager Grim Reaper in Training. She brokers a deal to be sent back to Earth as a temporary substitute for the Superintendent of Spiritual Impediment. Can a girl who can't recognize her own problems rectify the issues of the living impaired? Or will she discover that concentrating on their issues gives her a new perspective on her own?

After artfully arbitrating her return from the dead, Max Logan considers her experience with the afterlife a thing of the past. But she soon discovers her success as a temporary Superintendent of Spiritual Impediment was no accident, and she is, in fact, a Retriever of souls who died before their time. A position she neither believes in nor wants any part of. When Max returns and learns Roger-the-Proctologist, her current boyfriend and ex-husband, died in a plane crash due to an inept Reaper gone rogue, she has no choice but to venture back into the sweet hereafter in an attempt to rescue his soul before it's too late. Throw a freak blizzard, a hot Grim Reaper, and a nasty Gate-Keeper into the mix, and Max will be lucky to escape before her time runs out, and she becomes a permanent guest in the Dead-ever-after.

A year after the death of her ex-husband and boyfriend, Roger-the-Proctologist, Max has accepted the loss and moved on. Well, at least she's tried, but a dating pool consisting mostly of weekend golfers in plaid polyester has left her unenthusiastic about her prospects. When Morgan Kane, the sexy Hellhound Grim Reaper, suddenly reappears seeking her assistance to rescue the bumbling teenage Zombie King from Cerberus' filthy paws, Max realizes that maybe she was holding out for snug denim all along. But a trip to Hell during Vegas Week, with Lucifer masquerading as a tone-deaf Wayne Newton and Kane's psychotic mother as Satan's Showgirl Bride, isn't exactly her idea of the perfect date. In Hell, everything has a price, and though Max discovers she's already paid dearly, if she and Kane are to succeed, another sacrifice is required. Will Max finally get her happily-ever-after or will she lose the man she loves to the Sweet Hereafter? Again.
