He's a ghost in the system. She's the woman auditing the dead. Pragmatic corporate worker Maya Lim wants nothing more than to sell her late grandmother's traditional Penang funeral home and return to the safety of her orderly life in Kuala Lumpur. She deals in logic, logistics, and bottom lines-not superstitions. But when she arrives at the sanctuary, she doesn't find just inventory to liquidate; she inherits a snarky, translucent roommate who refuses to vacate the premises.
Daniel Yong is dead, deeply annoying, and entirely too handsome for a ghost with zero concept of personal boundaries. As the Hungry Ghost Festival thins the line between the living and the dead, a malevolent entity begins to haunt the foundations of the funeral home, threatening to dismantle the business and consume what is left of Daniel's soul. To survive, Maya must abandon her spreadsheets and team up with her spectral companion.
Together, they must solve the mystery of Daniel's suspicious death and break his connection to the corruption of the developer trying to destroy them both before the Underworld closes its gates forever. Readers will be swept away by this unique blend of supernatural mystery and slow-burn romance. This isn't just a story about the afterlife; it is a vibrant journey through the heart of Penang, rich with authentic folklore, the thrill of a corporate conspiracy, and the mouth-watering aromas of street food culture.
You'll be captivated by the friction between Maya's no-nonsense, corporate logic and Daniel's spectral charm-a classic grumpy-meets-sunshine dynamic where there is literally no space for them to hide from each other. Perfect for fans of paranormal suspense who want their hearts racing from both the danger of hungry ghosts and the heat of an impossible, forbidden love story. Ready for a love story that breaks all the rules of the afterlife? Escape into this chaotic, beautiful world today.
