Those who've watched Dead Like Me on TV will find this storyline easy to understand.  David, and his group of friends, are Reapers who collect the souls of those about to die.  He's been doing it for so long that he's become numb inside to the pain and horror he sees every day.  The day he meets his next door neighbor, who has a unique ability of her own, is the day he finally starts feeling alive.  With her ability to see ghosts, Sarah finds David's job fascinating and is fully accepting and soothes his battered heart like nothing else before. Their connection starts out as friends and morphs into a sexy and emotionally-charged relationship that almost ends before it starts when David's forced to make a decision he never thought he'd have to in an ending that is heart wrenching.David is gruff at the start, full of pain he keeps hidden but is still charming in his own way.  I ached for everything he's gone through in his life and afterlife. He was sweet and caring in Sarah's presence.  Sarah was a tough cookie with a scientific mind that made her quick acceptance of David's job believable.  They were a truly sweet and cute couple that brought a smile to my face which is why the story became such a tearjerker towards the end.Along with enjoyable main characters come a colorful and entertaining cast of secondary characters with unique personalities.  Adam is young and sweetly charming, Dmitri a badass who hides his compassion, and Ruby is a tough chick with a heart of gold.  I look forward to their stories being told and applaud this exciting and emotionally draining start to an entertaining new paranormal series.
