YAGuards of the Shadowlands series.
After her best friend Nadia commits suicide, tough-as-nails abuse survivor Lela receives visions of her suffering in a limbo-like world that has been invaded by the evil Mazikin. Stoic, sexy afterlife guard Malachi aids Lela in her rescue mission. The fantasy setup is muddled, but the romantic chemistry sizzles and the religiously inflected landscape of sacrifice and acceptance adds grit.
