Book Review: Graveyard Shift by Jenn Burke

Title: Graveyard Shift
Author: Jenn Burke
Series: Not Dead Yet, #3
Publisher: Carina Press

Synopsis: Shifting Into High Fear

Ghost/god Wes Cooper and his not-life partner, vampire Hudson Rojas, have settled into cohabitation in an upscale part of Toronto. So what if their hoity-toity new neighbors haven’t exactly rolled out the welcome mat for the paranormal pair? Their PI business is booming, and when a suspect they’ve been tailing winds up in the morgue, it’s alongside a rash of other shifters in apparent drug-related fatalities.

Now Wes and Hudson must connect the dots between the shifter deaths and an uptick in brutal vampire attacks across the city. Throw in a surprise visit from Hudson’s niece—who may or may not be on the run from European paranormal police (who may or may not exist)—and guardianship of a teen shifter who might be the key to solving the whole mystery (if only she could recover her memory), and Wes and Hudson have never been busier…or happier.

But when a nightmare from Hudson’s past comes back to haunt him, their weird, little found family is pushed to the brink. Mucking this up would mean Hudson and Wes missing their second chance at happily-forever-afterlife…

Review: The Not Dead Yet series has been such a delight to read and Graveyard Shift was a great conclusion. The premise is what first caught my attention and it was executed so well. The overall pacing is phenomenal- Jenn Burke has a way of drawing you and not letting you go! I devoured all three books in four days. The characters are all so amazing and I loved seeing their little family grow throughout the series. Graveyard Shift is definitely the saddest of the bunch, but don't let that deter you! There are still plenty of funny and swoony moments. Wes really comes into his own, Hud opens up more, and the rest of the gang still kicks ass! My fingers are crossed that we will get more books because there's no way Wes & Hudson are going to stay out of trouble!
