This presents as a fun, if not a little crazy, read with a kinda spooky vibe, but Chapter 11 drops a big bomb that brings some much needed depth to this book. It didn’t last long and went back to crazy, but it was very cheeky and decent UNTIL IT JUST ENDS. Boom, ends in the middle of a big story line. UGGGGH. I might not read the next in the series OUT OF SPITE. Book #61 in 2023
The MC and her friends were unlikeable. Their obsession with beauty standards was all they talked about. The amount of botox jokes was ridiculous. Peterman controlled the flow of information by giving us a really stupid character who never asks questions. I didn't enjoy the general tone of the story but the bones of it were good. I won't continue into the next book despite being left in a terrible place. I really hate that.
This is a review after DNFing with 1 hour and 24 minutes left of the audiobook. So take away from this what you will.
Perhaps this was not my cup of tea, but I had to stop this when the romantic element grew too cringe for me.
Our heroine, Daisy, has just turned 40 and is recently widowed. She has what she thought was a remarkable power of seeing the dead. Daisy, a paralegal with amazing tits (she says this about herself around three or four times in the very beginning alone), has this strange habit (born from her grandmother and mother) where she enjoys going to people's funerals. When she turned 40, she noticed the "squatters" that made themselves at home in the house that she once shared with her husband, Steve. The squatters are the apparitions of the deceased whom she witnessed their gatherings.
These newcomers aren't the only ones that intruded on Daisy's seemingly mundane life. Her boss has announced a new lawyer that will be joining their law firm, but she wants Daisy to work from home. It's obvious she is trying to keep Daisy away from this lawyer, though Daisy believes that it's because she is the competition to her boss. She stated that she had no desire to sleep with a lawyer (even though no one said anything of the sort).
So naturally, Daisy runs into this new lawyer in the breakroom, and true to romance troupes, Gideon is the hottest man that ever graced the world. Not a single woman (or man) would ever deny him a moment in their bed. Daisy being one of them, even though she will deny it all the way until the last hour and a half. To continue the cliche characteristics, Gideon is obviously immediately smitten with Daisy. So much so, he cannot seem to leave her alone. There's no telling if it's due to her amazing tits or her ability to see dead people.
I believe it's a little of both. See, Gideon is the Grim Reaper. The Grim Reaper, an entity that's been around since the beginning of time, has falling deeply in love, for the first time in his life (his billions and billions of years on this planet), with Daisy. He's never felt this way for another person before. Our Daisy is "just different".
We, soon, meet Daisy's dead husband as a ghost. Steve has some unfinished business, which is the reason these ghosts are flocking to Daisy. We find out that the man was always gay. We don't learn about the troubling marriage until Daisy sees Steve in his ghost form. Now is the perfect time to learn they hadn't had sex in years before Steve's death. Who knew? And Steve's unfinished business is to hook Daisy up with Mr. Right. And who is Mr. Right? CORRECT! Gideon.
Daisy's and Gideon's date was where I had enough. Apparently, this is where Gideon noticed Daisy's amazing tits (which is odd since she says those are her best asset). The little black dress she wore showed "side boob", and Gideon couldn't get enough. But sex is off the table, but making out is heavily encouraged. Like two sixteen-year-olds in Gideon's car, they make out for hours. When Daisy lays out her rules for the first time they have sex, I was done. Mainly because Gideon states "Where have you been all my life?" WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? This man, the Grim fucking Reaper has seen all types o life crossing his path, but Daisy is the one that's he's head over heels for? Billions of years this man has walked the Earth, and we are meant to believe this one paralegal, with amazing tits, is the one to break him?
Yeah... no. I'm done. I had to cut this off because I can't stand this deep cliche of instant love. It was cringy, farfetched, and downright unfathomable.
