Dead Serious #5 Madame Vivienne

My review

5 stars 🍩

Well we were warned this would be a wild ride and it was that and than some. You will feel all emotions when reading this tale. Tristan and the gang go up against more paranormal than they are ready for and have to make some tough life choices. You knew something was coming yet it hit hard and you felt the pain so vividly, truly masterful storytelling. This series has been a true pleasure to take part in reading and look forward to more from this author. Sad to see the end of Tristan & Danny's love story but know we will be seeing them in the future spin off series CRAWSHANKS GUIDE TO THE OCCULT, where we finally get to see Sam & Harrison find their happiness.

Book overview

For one brief shining moment, the utter insanity that is Tristan Everett’s world makes sense.

He’s marrying the man he loves, has a dead drag queen for a bestie and is surrounded by an amazing found family. Okay, so his life isn’t exactly what you’d call normal. By day, he’s a quiet, mild-mannered forensic pathologist, but the rest of the time, he guides lost souls into the light. He’s also averted an apocalypse, stopped Chaos from coming through a magic door, and drunk tequila with Death.

It’s all a bit bonkers, but it’s his life… and he loves it.

He’s flying high but, like Icarus, it’s only a matter of time before he’s brought crashing down to earth with singed wings. The strange reality of his life intrudes once again when his friend, Madame Vivienne, is murdered, and it’s clear from the beginning that this is no ordinary killing.

Someone is using dark magic.

Viv’s soul has been bound, leaving her trapped and unable to communicate. Tristan, Danny, and their friends must uncover the truth and find the killer. But the deeper they delve into the old bookshop in Whitechapel, which has been in the Crawshanks family for generations, the darker and the more dangerous the secrets that begin to unravel.

And what they discover may just change their lives forever…
