Minute Taker

Seeing death before it happens is a gift, but it is a gift that Ellion Marksman never asked for. In the quiet town of Harrow Hall most of the residents are elderly, settling down for their golden years in a place that accommodates their needs. Ellion Marksman has seen most of their passings in premonitions that she never asked for, trying to help people make peace before their time comes. Instead of joining the leagues of people her age, Ellion settled into a position as a grocery delivery driver in order to get closer to people to help them accept death and make amends. However, when Ellion sees the horrifying death of a new resident in town, John Shop, she takes it upon herself to try to prevent his murder before it happens. But she only has a short period of time to try to stop it, and she has never been able to prevent a death before. When Ellion begins to develop feelings for John she finds herself conflicted about his premonition -- how can she fall in love with someone whose death she has seen with her own two eyes? In a slow-burn story about making peace with troubled pasts and rerouting the future, Ellion uses the scattered pieces of her premonition to put together who is going to kill John Shop before they ever get the chance to.
