Synopsis
Adam wants to be a 'normal' teen, but his reality is quickly leaking normal. His mother died when he was four and his eccentric father - who might be an assassin, a voodoo god, the reincarnation of the Buddha, or something even stranger - is never available when Adam really needs him. Adam is soon headed toward a collision with life, death, and the entities charged with shepherding souls of the newly dead, all competing to control lucrative territories where some nightmares are real and psychopomps of ancient legends walk the streets of North America.

Review
"Adam can't even grow a man beard yet, but he can do something his friends can't do--go to Limbo and back. Prepare to root for him as he makes new friends, discovers who he is, and saves a few souls in the process. This is a fast-paced, page-turning story!"
--Skila Brown, author of Caminar
"With a perfect balance of real-world and mythical, Adam's story explores life and death, and everything in between. Anyone looking for a thoughtful take on life's big questions will find it here, paired with fresh details, a fast-moving story, and bold world building."
--Amy Rose Capetta, author of Entangled
