“No guarantees in life. No guarantees in death.

”Ferris Goodman is just a regular guy with more than his share of problems—boss issues, family issues, girlfriend issues. Lately, things have been looking up for Ferris.

The boss seems to have taken notice of his work, and in a good way. He’s mending fences with his siblings.

And he’s met a girl. Yes, sir, things are finally looking up for Ferris.

Too bad about that whole “being dead” thing. Maybe “not quite dead” is more accurate.

With one foot in the Living Realm and one foot in the Shadowland, Ferris and the other Guides help their clients choose where they want to spend the afterlife. Is the Ghost Life for you? Easy peasy.

Paradise? Got you covered. Not ready to move on? Are you sure? Because Life can be a trickster, full of surprises, not all of them good.

Speaking of surprises, Ferris is barreling headlong toward a very nasty one. During his time as a Guide, he’s seen some stuff—grisly crime scenes, calamitous accidents, and run-ins with supernatural beings of every stripe.

He’s not the squeamish type. But nothing in his past could prepare Ferris for what awaits him.

High-stakes situations are common for a Guide. This time, though, things could go horribly wrong.

And the price for a blunder is catastrophic when you’re already halfway dead. SHADOW LIFE is set in a world where ghosts are real, Heaven and Hell may be myths, and Death is just another guy at the office.
