Cleaner of Bones (Black Bird of the Gallows)
by
Reece Fernandez didn’t come to this town to finish high school. He hadn’t planned to stay. Changed against his will into a harbinger of death many years before, Reece has only known a nomadic existence, chasing disasters where mass death occurs and feeding on the energy. But after meeting his new neighbor, he can’t imagine leaving.
Angie Dovage changes everything. Feelings he thought had died complicate his predictable but gruesome existence, making him want to share his secrets with her. Making him yearn for a different life. Reece is desperate to protect Angie from an impending natural disaster that will decimate her town, and from a sinister creature who sees her as the key to breaking his own tortured curse.
But one hard lesson Reece has learned: becoming a harbinger of death was easer than unbecoming one…

Cleaner of Bones was a freebie for signing up to the author's newsletter. It's written from Reece's point of view and compliments Black Birds of the Gallows. It's a short story which would best fit straight after you have read Black Birds of Gallows. It explains what the Black bird life is like and Reece's relationship to the Bee keeper. We get a glimpse into his feelings unravelling for the girl he cannot have. Birds leave. Wanting more is dangerous. The ending to his romance is in the Black Birds of Gallows not the mini instalment of the Cleaner of Bones. It's a little extra rather than a standalone story.
