Tied to Death (Monsters of Brimrey Island #4) by Vee Debras

He means death. But so do I. The cursed child of a cursed family, there are two questions that I’ve never been able to answer. Why would my brother end his life on my birthday? And why has he never come back to tell me? Since the day I was born, I’ve been plagued by spirits. They make me sick: numb and blind and passing out on a puddle of my own vomit. One day, I won’t get away. One day, they’ll kill me. I can’t let that happen, not before I talk to my brother one last time. But when I return home, all I find at his grave is an empty casket… And a man who tells me my brother’s not actually dead. Finch is not human. He’s a death creature who knows what I am and who can protect me from the spirits. For the first time in my life, someone can keep me safe. So what do I care if he says I should be scared of him? If he tells me I should leave? I won’t. Not until I find out what happened to my brother and unveil the secrets everyone is trying to keep from me—including Finch. Tied to Death is an MM monster romance with a transmasc main character, an obsessed love interest, many secrets, and even more angst. It can be read as a standalone with a HEA or as the fourth book in the Monsters of Brimrey Isand series.
