:  GRAVE DESTINATIONS is the second instalment in Lori Sjoberg's contemporary paranormal Grave Series but can be read as a stand alone-the first two stories are not connected although one or two characters will overlap.  The premise focuses on Ruby Dawson-a reaper-whose latest assignment is to `reap' a soul on board a cruise ship but when a second death occurs within a short time period, Ruby knows something is wrong.Enter Jack Deverell- Ruby's prime suspect-and the man who would steal her heart. But when a third unexpected death happens, Ruby must call in reinforcements who will make Jack's life a little more difficult on board the ship.The relationship between Jack and Ruby is one of instant attraction-both looking for a no-strings attached night of passion but one that brings into focus the who and what that is Ruby and Jack.  We learn their back stories and histories; their heartbreak and regrets. And we also learn that Jack is a little more than what he appears to be.  Not quite human, Jack holds a secret that could very well end in everyone's death.The secondary characters are colorful and play an active role in the storyline especially Ruby's immediate superiors.  You know there is a potential for a few more storylines when Ruby says goodbye to the man who has always had her back.GRAVE DESTINATIONS is a fast paced, interesting storyline focusing on reapers and the souls they direct into the afterlife.  There is a little bit of mystery; a little bit of sex; and a little bit of humor all rolled into a story about death and crossing over.  If you like a paranormal storyline with a strong heroine who knows a thing or two about surviving, then Grave Destinations is the story for you.
