High school junior Kaylee Cavanaugh is trying to balance her normal life with a newly discovered, terrifying ability to make life-and-death decisions—literally. Kaylee is a banshee, complete with an uncontrollable scream that rips from her when someone near her is about to die. And the more people she saves, the harder it becomes to guard her own soul from things that go bump in the Netherworld.
So far there are five published books and a prequel short story in the series:
* ''Reaper'' (prequel novella)
* ''My Soul to Take''
* ''My Soul to Save''
* ''My Soul to Keep''
* ''My Soul to Steal''
* ''Never Sleep'' (prequel novella)
* ''If I Die''
* ''Before I Wake''

!!Provides the following tropes:
* AloofBigBrother: Tod
* [[AuraVision Shadow Vision]]: Kaylee can see dark shades when she starts to sense death nearing.
* BettyandVeronica: Kaylee and Sabine for Nash respectively.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Tod displays this in the prequel novella ''Reaper'' when he [[spoiler: trades his life to reaper Levi to save Nash's and becomes a reaper himself.]]
* [[BrownNote Banshee Wail]]: The horrible screech Kaylee is forced to make causes headaches, sickness, and foretells of death.
* CharmPerson: Male bean sidhes have this ability.
* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Specifically, Daddy was trying to keep Kaylee from attracting the attention of a reaper with a grudge against him.
* DeadpanSnarker: Tod. Kaylee.
* DealWithTheDevil: The plot of ''My Soul to Save'' revolves around this.
* DemonicPossession: Hellions can do this with some people, though it takes a lot of energy.
* DominoRevelation: Sure banshees exist, why not reapers, angels, and demons?
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: The [[AnotherDimension Neither Realm]] has plants, fiends, and even animals whom are all deadly to humans.
* {{Expy}}: Multimedia company with cartoon squirrels, happy bubbly family friendly entertainment, and {{Series/HannahMontana}} look-alike named Eden....hmm sounds familiar! Especially with the whole human-soul trafficking.
* FantasticDrug: Demon's breath, which is very bad news indeed for normal humans, and not that much better for nonhumans [[spoiler: such as Nash]].
* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: Kaylee's reaction to popular jock Nash taking an interest in her.
* [[PunchClockVillain It's a Job]]: Being a reaper, a banshee, or even an enchanter is more like an extra career then anything else.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Kaylee's aunt and uncle never tell her about her banshee nature, even after sending her to a ''mental ward''.
* MamaBear: Harmony Hudson.
* RoomFullOfCrazy: In the short story prequel Kaylee ends up in a restraint room after having her first scream attack in public.
* RuleOfDrama: It stinks of this in the prequel and first book.
* OurBansheesAreLouder: She has an inhuman wail that she really has problems stopping.
* [[SensorCharacter Sense Death]]: Kaylee's fae-side automatically allows her to sense the presence of death.
* SiblingTriangle: It seems to be going in this direction, with Tod showing feelings for Kaylee, who's dating his brother.
* SympatheticPOV: You can't help but feel bad for Kaylee's plight ...at first anyway. By ''My Soul to Save'' it's toned down a lot.
* TakeMeInstead: Tod. See above.
* TeenDrama: It takes place in a High-School setting where most characters are just under 18 yrs of age.
* UrbanFantasy
* YouCantFightFate: Everyone has a firmly fixed moment when they will die; unless the Netherworld is involved, this cannot be averted unless [[SomeoneHasToDie someone else dies in their place]].
