I fell in love with author Jana DeLeon with the first cozy Mudbug book. Helena dies, but she's resurrected as a ghost at her funeral. Her almost ex daughter-in-law is the only one to see her at first. Mayhem ensues. Maryse is trying to get her life together, as it's falling apart, her life is endangered, and she meets a new hot guy. Her bumbling ghost of a mother-in-law, who thinks she's helping, only serves to cause more problems initially. They learn how to make the situation work for them as they solve the mystery. Helena seems to appear only to those whose lives are in danger--not always a good thing when you want her help, but you don't really want to see her.The second book involves Sabine, Maryse's best friend. As she tries to figure out how to treat her cancer, she learns secrets from her past that unsettle her already uncertain future. More meddling/help from Helena, throw in a sexy guy, plus there's another mystery to be solved.The third book continues with Raissa, psychic friend of Sabine, and another mystery. She thought she was incognito from her past, but it catches up with her tying the past with another mystery now. Her life in danger, she learns to trust her friends, a sexy cop, and Helena's version of help.This trio of books in one great set is so fun to read. Set in Louisiana, these reads will keep you wanting more books in this series.
