It should have just been another episode from a daytime
drama. Instead, Nicki Styx has had a heart attack. After
the white light rejects her by telling her she's awakened
unto life, Nicki awakens to find out things aren't quite the
same as they were before she almost died. The white light
may have sent her back but it sent her back with the gift
for seeing and hearing the dead. This is one present she
wishes she could give back.
All Nicki wants to do is run her vintage clothing store with
her best friend Evan Owenby, and possibly get a date with
the smoking hot ER doctor that was at her bed side when she
woke up. If only all the ghosts would leave her alone. She's
become a ghost magnet. As if seeing them isn't bad enough,
they also want her to help them. When a friend and fellow
shop owner is murdered, Nicki's determined to bring the
killer to justice. As she quickly spirals into the world of
voodoo, Nicki soon finds out that not all ghosts are as
friendly as Casper.
After reading DEAD GIRLS ARE EASY, the first thing I did was
get online to see what other books Terri Garey has out. As
much as I tried to deny it in the numerous searches I did, I
finally had to admit to myself that Ms. Garey was a debut
author and I wasn't going to be able to read any more books
from the whimsical and witty author anytime soon. It was
quite crushing at the time. I fell in love with DEAD GIRLS
ARE EASY. It reminds me a bit of the TV show Ghost
Whisperer, only this had been kicked up a whole lot of
notches. Nicki Styx is an intriguing character that pulls
you into her world, and her problems. With enough loose ends
to entice you into wanting to continue the series, this fun
and engrossing read is sure to entertain till the early
hours of the morning. An excellent debut by an obviously
talented author.
There's something about almost dying that makes a girl
rethink her priorities. Take Nicki Styx—she was strictly
goth and vintage, until a brush with the afterlife leaves
her with the ability to see dead people.
Before you can say boo, Atlanta's ghosts are knocking at
Nicki's door. Now her days consist of reluctantly cleaning
up messes left by the dearly departed, leading ghouls to the
Light . . . and one-on-one anatomy lessons with Dr. Joe
Bascombe, the dreamy surgeon who saved her life. All this
catering to the deceased is a real drag, especially for a
girl who'd rather be playing hanky-panky with her hunky new
boyfriend . . . who's beginning to think she's totally nuts.
But things get even more complicated when a friend foolishly
sells her soul to the devil, and Nicki's new gift lands her
in some deep voodoo.
As it turns out for Nicki Styx, death was just the
beginning.
