I'm still thoroughly enjoying this series. The main characters are very relatable despite being a little more than human. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. ( )

One of my favorite things about this series is the humor and lovability of the characters. Horrible events are happening yet the author keeps things real by mixing humor in to break up the seriousness and to endear readers to her characters. I have quit interesting series before because it gets too grim and the characters are too uptight. My number one requirement is humor. Make me laugh and cry and I'm sold.

Grier's progeny shows up at her door. She knows about him but does not remember creating him since she was drugged the entire time she was imprisoned in Atramentous. He has escaped and needs protection.

Grier has an idea that the Grande Dame may have allowed him to escape to manipulate Grier because she knows exactly what Grier will do. Grier turns to her newly found grandfather, the master vampire who she cannot trust and who has some sort of nefarious plans in the works.

She places Corbin, her progeny, with her grandfather as a spy. It's dangerous and could get him killed but she has no other choice.

Meanwhile, there are still other mysteries and threats to Grier's livelihood that she has to unravel as she deals with like the disappearance of her friend the seer, Odette. Then there is the powerful shade who has possessed her ex-bestie. She still needs to figure out how to expel him.

I am a little confused about one storyline and may have just missed it being solved but who sent the archers in the last book? Did that ever get answered? Was that Dame Balewa?

I'm off to read the next book in this series. ( )

I'm really enjoying this series! This one drops a couple bombs for sure. This is the one where she finally remembers what happened the night Maud died. Looking forward to the 6th! ( )

I just LOVE this series and can't get enough of it.

UNDEAD LIE was more feel than action. It all affects Grier the most, but she isn't the only one that goes through a lot. I just love Linus and Grier together. I admit, I loved her and Boaz before he showed his true colors, but Linus and Grier are so much more than her and Boaz could have ever been. I also really love Lethe and Hood. They have become more than just the people protecting Grier and I couldn't imagine them not being in the storyline.

There were quite a few things that I just did NOT see coming in HOW TO LIVE AN UNDEAD LIE. The villain was one of the last people I expected it to be. Grier and Linus had a pretty big hiccup moment in their relationship followed by an even bigger moment in their relationship and then there's Cletus. Who the heck saw that coming?

I am beyond glad we still have another Beginners Guide book coming our way. I can't wait to see how things turn out.
