Well actually, he pounded.
Faith Williams has always been a little odd, but never before did she think she was one of a kind. Enter Death, the legendary, sadistic, and irresistible Grim Reaper who sparred Faith’s life when she was a child. The more she tries to resist him, the more he’s popping up in her life and turning it entirely upside down.

Who is the man under the hood? What does he want with her?
Most importantly, why the hell does he have a name for his scythe?”
