Tombs of Endearment by Casey Daniels
Book Description:
Cemetery tour guide Pepper Martin never imagined she'd get to meet rock legend Damon Curtis, the bad boy poet who made millions of teenage girls scream. After all, he kicked the bucket years before she was born. But thanks to her newfound ability to chat up the dead, Pepper's got a front row seat perfect for swooning over the still-sexy Damon's latest lyrics. He's convinced that his former bandmate Vinnie Pallucci murdered him back in ‘71, and he's promised Pepper she won't get any rest or peace until she helps him prove it.
But when Pepper goes behind the music, she finds Vinnie with a knife in his heart and the rest of the band members running for their lives. And if Pepper doesn't snare the killer soon, Damon's next hit from the great beyond might be her swan song.
My take:
Pepper Martin is a smart, attractive girl with an extra skill up her sleeve. She can see and speak with the dead. Nothing that she ever wants to admit to, and certainly not a gift that she wants to have.
In this third installment I thought the book got along pretty quickly, but by the end it started to drag. I raced through the last 50 pages or so to get the book finished. The book ended nicely enough, but with Pepper having a pity party every other page or so at the end I was beginning to wonder why I should keep reading? I will say though that when the next one comes out, I will be picking it up.
