Cassie Black works at a funeral home putting makeup on the dead for their last appearance. Boring, safe, regular employment until her dead clients get up and walk out of the funeral home! Cassie must figure out her newly and mysteriously acquired magic while helping the delightful (and UNDEAD) Mr. Tenpenny uncover his murderer. It was a fun and funny book. I enjoyed it immensely with its interesting take on the ‘new magic’ trope.
There are 3 books in the trilogy and a bonus book 4 to start the next series. The characters are interesting and the magic world is straight up awesome. Cassie is learning along with the reader so as the books progress we are all in this together. Every time I thought I knew what was going on, I was wrong! Many twists and turns, who should Cassie trust?, what secrets will be revealed about Cassie and her magic? This is a great series to add to your “OTTER” read list. Pro tip: reserve all four from the library at once because you will be immersed and not want to wait for the next book to get to you.
