Grim Tidings

B.K. Borison

Grim Reaper Darcy Moore is exhausted by death — so when the next soul arrives on the schedule, Darcy refuses to collect and plans to save him instead. Guardian Angel Gabriel Aetos has spent years protecting his town and the bar at its heart; a hostile Reaper on his turf is the last thing he needs. Enemies-to-lovers sparks fly between two grumpy immortals while the Department of Hauntings & Spirits closes in on a missing Reaper and a fate that was never meant to be rewritten.

“Some souls aren't assignments — they're invitations to break the rules you thought were carved in stone.”

Grim Tidings Icebreakers

Answer in under 30 seconds. These connect to the book’s themes without spoiling the story.

  1. Personality Reveal

    1. Are you more likely to follow the rules to keep peace, or break one rule loudly if it feels morally necessary?

  2. Personality Reveal

    2. When you're grumpy, do you become quieter — or do you become the most articulate person in the room?

  3. Personality Reveal

    3. Are you the friend who protects the group, or the friend who pushes the group to take a risky stand?

  4. Funny & Light

    4. If your job title were translated into a fantasy designation (Reaper, Angel, Bureaucrat of Doom), what would yours be today?

  5. Funny & Light

    5. What's the most “corporate HR meeting” thing you've ever experienced in a place that wasn't actually an office?

  6. Funny & Light

    6. You can only drink one cocktail at a fictional bar for the rest of your life — what's on the menu and what's the embarrassing name on the chalkboard?

  7. Would You Rather

    7. Would you rather have a guardian angel who micromanages your safety, or a grim reaper who tells you blunt truths about your choices?

  8. Would You Rather

    8. Would you rather live in a town where everyone knows your business, or a city where nobody notices you for a week?

  9. Would You Rather

    9. Would you rather be forbidden from dating someone because of “cosmic policy,” or because your friends hate them?

  10. Hot Take

    10. Hot take: enemies-to-lovers only works if both people were wrong about each other at the start. Agree or disagree?

  11. Hot Take

    11. Hot take: burnout is a personality type, not a phase. Defend your side in one sentence.

  12. Hot Take

    12. Hot take: the best book-club books are the ones that make you argue about ethics, not just cry. Yes or absolutely not?

  13. Personal Connection

    13. What's a place (bar, café, porch) that feels like “your territory” — and who would you trust to protect it?

  14. Personal Connection

    14. Tell us about a time you refused to do something expected of you. Did it feel like courage or guilt afterward?

  15. Personal Connection

    15. Who in your life is your opposite in temperament — and why do you still choose them?
