Death Gate Grim Reapers - La série

Isabella "Izzy" Sage a passé ses années de formation à Belle Isle, à Detroit, jouant près de la porte qui sépare les vivants des morts, tandis que ses parents recevaient un salaire du conseil des faucheurs. Puis l'impossible s'est produit, la tragédie a frappé, et Izzy s'est retrouvée orpheline. Son grand-père l'a emmenée et l'a élevée parmi les Bruja à la Nouvelle-Orléans, bien que son cœur ait toujours voulu retourner au portail... qui faisait tellement partie d'elle. Aujourd'hui, à l'âge adulte, Izzy a réussi à obtenir le statut de gardienne du portail et elle est de retour à l'endroit où son enfance s'est terminée. C'est elle qui dirige maintenant... mais les choses ne se passent pas comme elle l'espérait. Dès son premier jour, le portail est percé et le spectre qui le traverse est non seulement sanguinaire mais aussi plus évolué. Izzy veut être aux commandes, mais le conseil local des faucheurs a besoin d'aide et envoie des renforts sous la forme d'une famille magique de faucheurs. Les Grimlocks sont bruyants, turbulents et habitués à une bonne bagarre. Les hommes sont également beaux, ce qu'Izzy ne veut pas reconnaître, même lorsque le flirt devient incontrôlable. En plus de tout cela, ils sont aussi protecteurs, et qu'Izzy le veuille ou non, ils vont empiéter sur son territoire s'ils pensent pouvoir la protéger. Le passé a beau hanter Izzy, elle ne peut se tourner vers l'avenir tant que le danger n'est pas derrière elle. Ceux qui l'entourent en savent plus qu'ils ne le disent, et la magie qu'elle a essayé de cacher est sur le point de prendre le dessus. Le combat est engagé... et Izzy est prête à affronter le danger.

Izzy Sage is settling into her new life despite the pall hanging over her past. While the memories of the catastrophe that took her parents when she was a child remain elusive, she finds she’s comfortable in her new environment … even though she happens to have taken up the same position her father held when he was killed. She’s the new death gate operator, which means she’s in control when souls are ferried to the other side. She literally controls death … and it’s not a comfortable spot to be in. Her only problem is a man … and it’s not something she thought she would be facing because romance was supposed to be off the table. Braden Grimlock isn’t exactly known for being mature and grounded, but there’s something about Izzy that calls to him. He can’t stay away. The feeling only grows stronger when a group of deaf students tour the aquarium located on top of the death gate … and the teacher drops dead in the middle of a blackout. Right away, Izzy senses something is wrong … other than the obvious, that is. She simply can’t figure out what sort of opponent she’s facing. The past is about to meet the present as a long-hidden secret grabs Izzy by the throat and demands answers. There’s a malevolent spirit on the loose and he has designs on escape from Belle Isle. The havoc he could wreak if freed is immeasurable. It’s up to Izzy and Braden … and the rest of the Grimlocks … to figure out what’s happening and stop a horrifically determined ghost from claiming an innocent life. It’s going to take all of them working together … and if a little romance gums up the works, they’re simply going to have to deal with that, too. Izzy is a powerful Bruja. Even she might not be strong enough to face the horror of what’s to come, though.

Izzy Sage is settling into her new job, enjoying her new romance, and only has one thing on her mind: Choosing a new assistant to help her at Belle Isle’s death gate. All of that changes when the gate malfunctions. Instead of dragging someone over, though, it sends five people back. Years ago, a group of trainees disappeared while on a tour of the facility. There was no rhyme or reason to what happened and the higher-ups assumed they died during the malfunction. Five of them have returned though, and they haven’t aged a day. Naturally, the reaper world is buzzing with the news. Izzy, however, thinks something bigger might be going on. Her belief only becomes stronger when another creature shows up in the middle of the night and attacks. The malfunctioning gate is hiding a sinister secret, and it might just have something to do with what happened to Izzy’s parents so many years ago. Oliver has ties to the initial incident, too, and even though he knew the men way back then, he’s discombobulated by what’s happening now. When you add to that the arrival of Paris Princeton, Izzy has her hands full. Thankfully she’s not alone on the job. She has the Grimlocks to back her play … and serve as emotional sounding boards. Together, Izzy and the Grimlocks are neck deep in trouble and searching for answers. They need to find them before the unthinkable happens and they lose one of their own, because when the gate starts acting weird again, someone is going to have to cross over to the other side – face death itself – and reclaim the most valuable prize imaginable. Izzy’s life is about to take a turn. Somehow, she needs to stay on her feet to see it through. That’s easier said than done when death is your business but if anyone can make it to the other side and live to tell the tale, it’s Izzy. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.
