Bryn Davis left the army and became a funeral director. The idea of helping people with their dead appealed to her. It's people she sometimes has problems with. The job with Fairview Mortuary isn't bad until she discovers that her bosses have a sideline and that sideline is a killer.Dying is a big...

The book started out slow, very slow. I almost stopped reading it out of boredom. I'm not sure why there was so much boring detail at the beginning of the book because it wasn't needed. Ok, on to the review. Picture the Argeaneau vampire series but instead of nanos there's nanites and instead of nee...

This one was recommended to me a couple different times by the same person. She kept saying that she thought I might like this one, and she was totally right. I should have listened sooner. I really enjoyed Working Stiff! I wish I hadn't read the description of the book, because it takes a while for...

The blurb for 'Working Stiff' does not do it justice. When I read that there was a drug that resurrects the dead, images of zombies and brains for dinner flashed across my mind. I've never really jumped on the zombie bandwagon, but I'm a big fan of Rachel Caine's 'Morganville' series and really want...

Goodreads giveaway. pretty cool premise: a pharmaceutical lab accidentally creates a drug that can revive the dead. Our protagonist works at a funeral home and stumbles upon her boss misusing the drug to revive dead clients who have the money to pay him to stay live. Not really stay alive as they a...

A fresh take on zombies. No eating of brains occurs in this book. My first impressions of this book were that it was different from most of the urban fantasy books I’ve read. Different, in a good way. Working Stiff is a completely new take on zombies, a far more sinister take than the usual fare. Th...
