All Ellie Rodriguez wants is a quiet, magic-free life. Witchcraft is under attack, and Ellie knows if anyone were to discover her craft, she would be sent to the nearest courthouse in cuffs. Playing normal was easy at first, but when her boyfriend is found dead in the woods, she does the only thing she can do-resurrect him.
When River Mathews discovers a body has gone missing from the morgue, he doesn't expect to see it driving around the next day. He especially doesn't expect to see it kiss the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. He wants to forget it, pretend like nothing happened, but River has a gift. One that makes him realize the dead man's girlfriend is in trouble.
Now Ellie is dealing with winged creatures stalking her, her boyfriend's mysterious behavior, and the unexpected arrival of a nosy medical examiner with a penchant for saving people. Fate keeps bringing Ellie and River together, but the closer she gets to River, the more she questions her choice. River is hell-bent on rescuing her from her resurrected boyfriend, but will she heed his warning? Or is she in too deep to reverse the spell?
