Raising the Dead by Mara PurnhagenMy Summary:Charlotte is still in the same house and school, which is saying something.  Her parents have decided to hang around the same place for a few years and she is happy to have friends and consistency.  That is until the rain causes flooding that leaves coffins floating around the city.  When her parents get involved in the job of restoring the coffins to a civil war age cemetery, the paranormal energy is sure to follow.My Thoughts:3 stars - a good readThis story continues with familiar characters from book one, Past Midnight.  I was happy to see that both Jared and Noah had a bigger role to play in this story.  I was disappointed that Noah seems to have no interest in Charlotte.  It's interesting that Jared and Avery have started some kind of relationship, whether that's just the mutual support after a great lose or more, I can't tell yet.  This novella felt so much like just a couple of extra chapters that got cut from either the end of book one or the beginning of book two.  I hope that book two uses this story somehow otherwise it will be just so incomplete to me.  I really enjoyed Past Midnight and I'm looking forward to One Hundred Candles but this one fell kind of flat.
