YA
Denton (Denton Little's Deathdate) finds himself on missions to transfer, via his saliva, the life-saving virus that overrides people's deathdates. But persuading people to drink the beverages he hands them--or to kiss him--is harder than it sounds. The caper aspect of the first installment is heightened here, but there's still plenty of focus on family, friendships, and romantic entanglements.
