Deader Homes and Gardens by Angie Fox
The gal who said after reading the first book in the series, Southern Spirits, I -- don't -- like -- mysteries, well she's still liking these mysteries.
I loved the story and the series. The characters are wonderful, likeable and believable. The story flows smoothly and has nice pacing. For those of you that read books for the over the top sex scenes, run the other way. If you love books with a great storyline and characters that you can cheer for, then you need to get in on this series.
This is book #4 and yes you've missed the first three (and a novella), but you can start reading this one right off. You miss some of the running background things, but you shouldn't be too lost getting caught up. After you finish you're going to want to go back and read the ones you missed.
This one is the first one where Verity is an official ghost-hunter and it's action-packed. We'll call it the gasp and laugh story, because there's some of each type of moments. Unhappy, evil ghosts and across town some having a great time (party at Verity's House ... that's as much of a spoiler as you're going to get). And we honestly have to get Verity some ghost-hunting clothes, because she should save her dresses for going out with the hunky Ellis.
Those of you that are Frankie fans, our resident ghost isn't in quite as much as usual. But he's still as snarky as ever and there's some great moments with him, and we meet some of his former gang in this book. Still trying to figure where the ghosts got all the stuff, but that's another spoiler you're going to have to read and figure out for yourself.
