After leaving the mental hospital, Cora just wants her life to become normal. She doesn't want to see the souls or the reapers harvesting them. The guy she's loved from afar for years leaves without saying goodbye. So yes, she is in serious grief. It's no surprise that love is the last thing on her mind when Echo walks into her life. The chemistry between them intensifies. The connection defies logic. Souls leave her alone when he's around. It's too bad that Echo simply embodies everything she hates in guys - sexuality, beauty and impudence. He is also a soul reaper. Grimnir. One of those creatures she wants to get rid of. Maybe a normal life is overrated because Cora wants it all. Answers. Love. Life.
