“Even undead , I remain as handsome as ever , with the exception of the holes left by the bullet -“

Summary : In a world where the book of the dead has brought back ghosts , zombies , and all sorts of weird stuff into our lives , we are all having to learn how to adjust . One person adjusting is a P.I. named Dan Chambeaux . He is now a zombie after being murdered investigating his girlfriend’s murder ( Sheyenne , whom is now a ghost ). Now he has to investigate his own murder . He also can’t neglect his other cases which involve a mummy’s emancipation , a divorce involving a werewolf and a psychopathic businessman , a witch whose sister was turned into a pig because of a publisher’s misprint , and a vampire being harassed by human supremacists . Believe it or not , they all tie together . Dude will need a vacation after this .

“Use your Bela Lugosi thing and glamour them ?”

Review : Damn this book is funny . I mean I was expecting it to be but on almost every page there is a joke . That’s not to say there isn’t a serious story , there is one , and it’s a damn good one but the humor is off the charts . I read a few Kevin J. Anderson’s books in the past and he has always delivered , I’m happy to report that this trend is continued here . If you’re into supernatural comedies then give it a read .

“It’s not fair . Hoodlums , vandals , and murderers can just break in wherever they want , but vampires have to be invited into someone’s home .”
