Many Thanks to Net-Galley and the publisher for an advanced e-copy. This did not affect my rating.

*4/5*

The Voodoo Killings was one of my favourite books of 2016. I devoured it. I pushed it on my friends. I waited and wished and hoped for a sequel. It was such a unique concept. Voodoo practitioners who can raise zombies, and summon ghosts.

Kincaid Strange is the last voodoo practitioner in Seattle - she has an ex-boyfriend, Aaron, who is a cop and is trying to help Kincaid get back to work with the Seattle police. Her best friend, Nathan Cade, is a ghost. He was a grunge musician in the 90's. Their relationship is still as hilarious in this book, as it was in the first.

This book directly follows The Voodoo Killings, with Kincaid trying to figure out how to unbind Nate from the dead body he mysteriously and mistakenly got bound to. Along with that, Aaron has called upon Kincaid to look at a cold case that has ties to Nate. She also must work with Gideon, a sorcerer's ghost who has a temper.

I love this series so much. I just love how unique it is. I love the underground world of the dead.. We learn a lot about a new type of afterlife. I love that it's set in Seattle. I love the characters, and I want more.

Kristi Charish is such a sweetheart of an author. She is Canadian, and The Voodoo Killings was repackaged in the summer of 2018 to appeal to new fans across the border in the States. I hope that she was reached may many new fans.

There were a few parts that seemed to drag on a little bit for my taste, but it was still a chaotic, rollicking good time.
