Review: Deader Homes and Gardens

Deader Homes and Gardens by Angie Fox
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

Southern belle Verity Long is back in business—as a ghost hunter. Now all she has to do is visit the town's creepiest mansion and exorcise a family of vengeful spirits. Piece of cake. After all, ghosts love her and need her... that is until she meets the ghosts of Rock Fall mansion. They'll do anything to keep their murderous secrets hidden within the cliff-side fortress—even if that means getting rid of one meddling ghost hunter. 

With the entire town skeptical and scrutinizing her every move, Verity struggles to uncover the century-old mystery behind the house. And when she stumbles upon a very fresh, very dead body, she realizes there’s more to it than she ever imagined. With the help of her sexy cop boyfriend, Ellis, and her ghostly gangster sidekick, Frankie, she braves the overgrown gardens, the desolate family cemetery, and the haunted mansion that have been locked away for generations. 

Can Verity unearth the truth before she's the next one buried on the deadly grounds?

My Thought:

Cover/Title: I love the play on words in the title. It is what drew me to this author in the first place. I have read several and never been disappointed.

Characters: I love the characters. I love how determined Verity is even when she is scared. Frankie is hilarious and the reason I love this series.

Plot: Verity gets her first paid job as a ghost hunter. The previous residents (who are now haunting the house) found an Egyptian tomb and its treasures. However, the treasure is supposedly cursed and they all died but the son, who was away at the time. Verity and the only living descendant need to figure out what happened in that house so they can help the ghosts.

Overall: I enjoyed this book and can't wait to read more of the series.
