Review: Fantastically suspenseful and lightly romantic

Disembodied Bones is the second book in a series, but it can be read as a standalone --- although why you would want to do that when the first book is also excellent and is free is beyond me.  Both books (and probably the third, which I plan to read soon) are riveting combinations of lightly fantastical content set in a modern world mixed with excellent characters and a suspenseful plot.  Something for everyone, and it all works!What else do you need to know when choosing whether to plunk down $1.99 for this book?  The romance in Disembodied Bones is much lighter than in Veiled Eyes, which will probably make male readers happy.  (As a female reader, I was still quite content with the level of romance in Disembodied Bones.  In fact, there's a scene in the last chapter that was delightful.)  And the book is set in Texas instead of in Louisiana, which I regretted in retrospect but which really worked at the time.  (I want to learn more about "the family" --- hopefully we'll return to that setting in book three!)  There's also one gruesome scene not for the weak of stomach, but I suspect everyone in the world has a stronger stomach than me.Those minor points aside, I suspect that just about everyone will find this excellently written story as gripping as I did.  Read it and rejoice --- there's another book to come!
