Badass Alchemy by M.J. Marstens

As a Realm Guardian, I’m one of the few humans that can pierce the In-Between. It’s a tedious job, done mostly behind the scenes. I simply monitor the souls that have not crossed over yet. Ninety-eight percent of them complete their unfinished business; then move along, but it’s the two percent that screws me over.
These are the souls that have no intention of cooperating.
Of finishing their business.
Of crossing-over.
Instead, they are here to wreck shop.
Unfortunately for them, that’s where I come in.
I’m Sassafras Dejais and I’m the last line of defense between these malicious spirits and the human world.
Usually, I make quick work of these dicks souls and then move on with my life.
But lately, that two-percent has been growing. . .
It’s getting harder to keep up on my own; so when a devastatingly handsome man offers me a card to join A.S.S., I consider it.
It sounds like the In-Between needs a hero.
Someone badass and full of sass.
Ironically, Sass is my nickname.
And Badass is my middle name.
