Zombie land

I really enjoyed all the balls Violet was trying to juggle in this one! I’m dying to now what her aunt knows about all of this.

Great plot

the plot keeps moving and keeps you involved with the characters.
A bit much on the serial side but otherwise great listening

Liked it but didn't love it...

I feel like violet is just desperate. She keeps saying she don't need anybody but her actions are different. I don't like how dectective cooper is treating her whether he's frustrated or not. I would have already went above his head and kicked his ass after he grabbed my arm. I honestly thought the story was gonna go in the direction of doc wasn't sure about him being a stepdad figure and breaking it off with violet. Then cooper comes in and confesses his dying love for violet. Since it doesn't seem it's going that way I think coop and violet need to work together and not separate and coop making threats to a woman, that's just not tough2to me. And can we please make violet believe in ghost now for Petes sake!!!!!!!!

Excellent!

This Violet Parker book series is excellent if you don’t mind a little bit of supernatural. It’s written very well, witty and funny at times. All the characters are believable and story lines are unpredictable. I am glad I stumbled upon this series while exploring what to listen to next. I am on my fifth book now and absolutely loved the previous four. The narrator is great as well.

The story gets better as it goes.

I almost quit reading the series after book three because of the way Violet was handling her relationship with Doc. But, she finally showed her courage. I love Doc and Violet and the rest of the characters. I love the humor, too, which makes me chuckle and laugh out loud. She’s a spitfire.

Still enjoyable but....

I really am enjoying this series. It’s becoming somewhat predictable as far as villains are concerned, however I always look forward to the next book.
