Death Drives a Minivan

Death Drives a Minivan
A darkly funny novel about love, death, and the weird space in between.

When North Grove Farmers Market worker Kerrigan meets Death on the job, he’s pretty certain there’s been a mistake.
When Cupid arrives too, Kerrigan becomes pretty sure he’s completely lost his damn mind.

One hot-boxed minivan soul negotiation later, Kerrigan learns the truth:
His soul is on the line.
And the only way to save it? Help someone else find love—and maybe mend a few hearts along the way.

The one person chosen for him?
Hannah. A Costco demo girl with a tragic past and a matching soul in jeopardy.
She’s also the same woman Kerrigan ghosted on a dating app before they ever met.

Now, with caffeine-fueled chaos, haunted cemeteries, rogue magic arrows, and a minivan-driving Death as his reluctant spirit guide, Kerrigan has thirty days to fix what’s broken… or lose everything.

It’s not a fairy tale.
No glass slippers, just rubber floor mats—and a minivan that smells like coffee and cosmic consequences.

Call it a love story.
Call it a soul deal gone sideways.
Just don’t expect a happily ever after… without a little chaos first.

Perfect for fans of The Good Place, Pushing Daisies, or anyone who believes the afterlife might be just as awkward as the one we’re living.

But does Death really drive a minivan?
Oh, you bet he does.

J.L. Pete lives in Los Angeles with a fantastic cast of funny little characters, also known as her kids. She's a numbers girl by day, a writer at night, and makes no apologies for the fact that she is a full blown junkie of all things books.
After waking from a dream that stuck with her for days, J.L. Pete picked up a notebook and started writing. School pickups, drop offs and play dates be damned, she published her first novel, Call It Magic. Here next novel, Death Drives a Minivan, was just released in October 2018.
J.L. Pete's novels follow in the footsteps of romantic comedies with a splash of sci-fi and urban fantasy. You know, like the classics. Conflicted sarcastic characters, with a touch of sass, struggling with love, romance, and the straight up weirdly endearing antics that exist with blossoming relationships.
