Knight of the Dead is a light, entertaining read that I could not put down. The book starts out with Persephone asking a car insurance company for the check that she is due. After being rejected she rushes back to the daycare that she works at. I felt bad for Persephone in the beginning of the book. She has trouble making ends meet and will be evicted if she cannot find enough money to pay the rent that is due.Mark, a single father and businessman with a hectic work schedule needs someone trustworthy to look after his daughter. When he picks up his daughter at the daycare he sees how well Rose responds to Persephone, and asks her to babysit his daughter while he works. She quickly agrees, and starts taking care of Rose on a regular basis.The relationship between Persephone and Mark builds slowly, and is true to life. There are bumps in the road, misunderstandings, and even a scheming lady trying to break the two apart. I highly recommend this book, and cannot wait to read more of Jennifer Gravely's work.
