For readers of Rebecca Serle's In Five Years and Nikki Erlick's The Measure, Michael Thompson's romantic magical realism will have you smiling, laughing, crying, and questioning: If you knew when someone was going to die...would you tell them? Charlie Knight's life was supposed to be spectacular...

Dr. Charlie Knight fears life is passing him by. He's in his late thirties, and treading water as a family doctor in the same small town he grew up in. Just as he's planning his escape, something changes. He develops a gift, an extraordinary insight for any doctor: a sense of exactly how many days his patients have left to live. But in a country town like Marwick, his patients are his friends. His own family. The people he grew up with, and the girl he still loves. And Charlie discovers this gift may not be a gift at all.

All thirty-four-year-old Mae Van Dorn wants is to live alone, with little connection to the oodles of people who have always let her down. But she soon finds herself living with her estranged brother in a town she’s never been to and working for the founder of the local megachurch, though she’s as misanthropic as they come. The pastor seems to not be quite as Christian as he should be, but the people in his orbit may just teach Mae that the human race isn’t so bad after all.

Nancy is so over vampires. Vampire stories, that is, and as a publishing editor building the new Kohl Dark imprint, she swears that if she has to read another one, it'll kill her. Then she meets someone who claims the latest horrid gothic horror on her desk is actually...about his own life! And to make it weirder, he asks Nancy to spend his last night alive with her.
