Review: Love bites
Rating: 4 out of 5

Jen and Jack's love story starts out normally enough - she's an uptight mortician with a d-bag boyfriend, he's the hot singer in her little brother's band. But it heats up and turns into a very sweet and loving relationship, one that Jen will do anything to protect. Even if it means she has to come back from the dead to do it...I was really into Jen and Jack and kept thinking - where are we going with this? Because the first third of the story could easily be confused with a very funny and witty contemporary romance. But then, things get a bit crazy. Not to spoil the plot (and I won't), but Jen's life after death is a dark romp through realms I hadn't imagined, along with her Sex Pistols reaper Sam.The imagination of Ms. Strange is really extraordinary, and her skill in keeping the narrative moving was awesome. I did find Jack's proposal of marriage a bit hurried, and thought Jen and Jack's love didn't really need that for the storyline. But overall, the writing was so vivid, amusing, and its storyline so original that I was totally up late reading this one.Looking forward to more!!
