I was much honored to be provided an advanced copy of this
book to read and review, as I am a huge J. R. Rain fan. I have to be honest, based upon the title; I
most likely would not have chosen this book as I thought it was going to be a
typical “Guy” detective story. I confess I am a huge Castle fan, but would not
have read the Castle books originally, if I had not first seen the series on
TV.
Imagine my surprise as I began reading this book, What...it's a Zombie paranormal story! But don’t be misled by that, as it is not
about your typical Hollywood brain eating Zombies, and the characters even make
reference to this.
As typical with JR he quickly draws you into the
character. I knew I was in it for the
long haul when it began with the main character saying “you know you’ve had a
really bad night when you wake up inside of a chalk outline.” The character is shockingly, a female detective named Richelle. And as in the Samantha Moon series, this
author writes from a female’s perspective and really nails it when the
character is worried she will have to get her suit dry-cleaned again.
I found myself so enthralled with the character and her
story I continued reading well into the night, I had to see if Richelle
was going to make it or not, solving the
mystery of who shot her, as she wanders in and out of the afterlife working
with ghosts.All the while Richelle must hide from her co-workers etc that she
has no heartbeat or pulse and is perpetually cold.
This is a must read for paranormal lovers, it is one of the
best Zombie stories I have read. I can’t
wait for the sequel as I must find out how Richelle continues on this journey.
Does she stay a zombie, how does she live, there better be a sequel soon!
J.R. you did it again!
I give it 5 stars.
