The next, I’m divorced and living in the guest room of my ex’s hotter-than-sin cousin’s place in Savannah and talking to an animated skeleton named Robert.

When a job comes my way that offers me a chance to use my childhood training in the shadow world, I take it.

Great Ending but a Little Slow
If you liked the other books in the series then there is no reason not to get this one as well. However, I did somehow find this one harder to get through. I even found myself taking breaks from it with other books. I think the problem was that there were so many interesting things dangled in front of me, but the book itself just plodded along and was mostly uninteresting until the last hour or so. I did really enjoy the increasing romance and love between the two main characters, and the rest of the characters were as interesting as always. The plot itself was also interesting, but somehow the journey through it was a penance instead of a joy. All the same, I think most people will still enjoy it if they enjoyed the previous books. I'm not sure if there would be another book in this series, but I would have enjoyed more exploration of the events after the climax and less of the plodding detective work in the beginning.

Even BETTER than the Previous! Love It!
This set in the Series continues the Tale of Hanna, Her Undead yet Dead Mother, Hanna’s Love, and the myriad of obstacles, intrigue, mysterious “Who Done Its?”, and expertly weaves all these small tales together into one continuous tapestry story, until its final conclusion.
Although often predictable far in advance, some twists still offer the Listener a level of joyous surprise, and a bit of dark comeuppance.
Delightful Characters, a Narrator whose vocal range is Amazing makes it Easy to fall under this book’s spell and forget that there is actually only one voice through out.
In short, listen to the previous books, and then GET THIS ONE ASAP! Because, if You even liked the previous books a little bit, then You’ll LOVE THESE!
I look forward to more from this Author, and honestly, can’t wait to see what they produce next, count me among the newly acquired AVID FANS!
