Most days, Anwen regrets working at a funeral home despite the good pay. With the residents no longer inclined to stay in their coffins where they belong, she’s got her hands full making sure everyone follows the rules:
In the funeral home, there is no screaming, no murdering, no mutilation, no possessions, no kidnappings, no resurrections, and no cursing of any type. Be quiet and stay polite.
The day Old Man McGregor decides to take a walk and disturbs her peace, Anwen learns there’s a lot more to the basement in the funeral home than a vampire and a handsome gentleman on ice.
If she’s not careful, she’ll learn first-hand why ‘eternally yours’ is the most potent of threats.
Warning: this novel contains romance, humor, bodies, shenanigans, and mythological puppies. Proceed with caution.
~ BOOK REVIEW for Grave Humor ~
Coming soon...
Ack! I slacked off and did not get this book finished in time. But I'm still reading it, and will post a full review once I finish. In the meantime, I can say that at 33% along, it is quite good. Things started out way different than I was expecting, and they seem to be moving a bit slow. So much so that I'm not even sure where things are going here. But the characters are delightful and their banter lots of fun, so I'm totally enjoying the ride. This is the first book I've read by this author, so I'm not sure if it's per her usual style or specific to this particular narrator. But the tone is very laid-back, down-to-earth, and rather cynical. Quite entertaining so far!
The final verdict...
Like this premise and the story started out promising. But it didn't really go anywhere. Spent most of the time trying to figure out what the characters were talking about. The final showdown with the main bad guy was very anticlimactic. As was the romance that didn't every really go anywhere.

I received a free eBook copy of this title from Xpresso Book Tours,
and have willingly provided an honest review.
