Again, MacAlister made me laugh out loud and roll my eyes at the same time.Bring Out Your Dead (Dark Ones Novels) is an oldie but a goodie. Published in 2006, republished in 2010, I don't know how I missed this one. It's loaded with lovable, laughable characters: imps, zombies, an annoying spirit guide that so totally butchers the French language. An equally annoying child vamp, and...oh yeah, a hunky vampire that keeps calling MacAlister's protagonist, Ysabelle,( yeah, I said Ysabelle. Where the hell does Katie come up with the names? The name alone makes me giggle) his Beloved. And if you have ever read MacAlister you know what that means. Silly sex, crazy situations, and someone has to help someone get his soul back, following those silly steps - and still I laugh. But......in Bring Out Your Dead the zombies steal the show. Action packed, the dialogue is fast-paced and laugh out loud funny. Yep, those dead guys have all the best lines.When I need a break, just want to laugh out loud and roll my eyes a lot, I pick up a MacAlister novel. This one's a keeper.I gave it 4 out of 5, because it is what it is: Everything I expected it to be.Susan Stec, author, The Grateful Undead: They're so Vein
