Like "Grave Sight", the first book in the series, "Grave Surprise" is constructed around the consequences of Harper using her strange gift for finding the dead and knowing how they died. The plot is complex enough to be satisfying and plausible enough not to be irritating but the real focus of the b...

In this, the second book of the series, Harper is brought in by a professor as an exhibit in his class on the paranormal.

Actual rating: 3.5 starsI'm not 100% sure how I feel about this series yet, I'll withhold my final judgment until I finish the other 2 books.I was gifted this series, along with a few other series by the same author, for Christmas, back in 2013.

It has been a long time since I finished the series, and I forgot many details, so I decided to simply review the final three books together. Besides, I would be only repeating the same things if I reviewed each book on its own. What I enjoyed the most about this series were definitely Harper’s ca...

Re-read #1 (10/6/13): And here the breadcrumbs begin to fall, as Harper and Tolliver go through the growing pains of a changing relationship. Even more awesome, Harper is reading a Dana Stabenow mystery during her downtime. If only I'd picked up that particular hint long ago, I could have found St...

Now the waiting begins for the next Harper novel, for reasons unknown, I think I prefer this series to her Sookie books.

Charlaine Harris has a very charming writing style, but based on ‘Grave Surprise,’ I don’t like this quite as much as her Sookie Stackhouse books. While Sookie’s world is unmistakably supernatural, here, heroine Harper Connelly is more in the realm of daytime talk shows for the gullible. Harper, a w...

The second in the series finds Harper Connelly demonstrating to a college class, finding a newly dead body where there shouldn't be one, a body of a child she looked for before. She gets sucked into investigating the mystery, partially for her own sake. I enjoyed this story, as the series go on th...

I just thought this was a weird book. I didn't feel like there was much to the story. It felt choppy and disjointed, like it needed to be edited more. I kept waiting for it to get better and it never did. :(

I love quirky characters and stories that are totally different. I hit the jackpot with this series! As much as I love Harper and Tolliver... the truth is they're weird. This series is part mystery, part semi-paranormal with a little bit of taboo romance thrown in to boot! It's one of my favorites!
