Death, Love and Alcohol

"Death lies dormant in each of us and will bloom in time." 

Dean Koontz

So, I am about 1/3rd of the book left. Secrets are coming to light, feelings are coming out and dead people are wandering around snacking on people. I will admit I find the story concept very intriguing. And having read most of Marr's other books, it is the a good quality story filled with many of her writing elements that I love.

One of my favorite "Marr-isms" is how truthfully she depicts and stays true to her characters. She writes them as they are and doesn't necessarily try to make them likable. And that is how I feel about, Rebekkah. I am not her biggest fan. I find her flighty,  unsure of herself and selfish, in regards to how she doesn't really consider the feelings of those around her. Horrible homecoming situation aside, I really hope to see some tremendous growth in the last part of the book. A lot of responsibility has been placed on her, and she really needs to pull on some big girl panties and deal.

Bryon on the other hand, is a whole different story. TAKE ME AWAY UNDERTAKER! Not only do I love his name (*wink*), but his assertiveness and openness really appeal to me. He learns what is going on and doesn't ran, but mans up and bares his mantel. Honestly, this doesn't surprise me. Marr has a history of creating great, sexy, take charge men. Probably one of the reason why I keep picking up her books.

I am interested to learn more about Rebekkah's ability to have one foot in life and one in death. One thing I am really surprised about is Marr going in the whole soul mate/fated direction. Which I haven't really seen in her other books. So, it will be interesting to see her spin on it. Because I know there is going to be a spin! It wouldn't be a Marr's book without it!
