The Death Collector

She pressed her bloodied palm to his chest, whispered three words, and stopped his heart. When Cade Merrick woke up that morning—again—his hands were on fire. He came to collect a debt. Iris Thorne gave him a curse instead: every time he dies, he wakes up with a new power he can't control and no one but her remembers the loop. Flames melt through his skin. Mind-reading splits his skull open. Teleportation slams him into concrete. She's the only one who can break it—but first, he has to survive seven jobs for her, each one more likely to kill him than the last. Every death makes him stronger. Every death brings him closer to losing control completely. She still hasn't told him why she chose him—or what happens when he runs out of deaths.
