Simone Sweet has a secret about how she came to reside in
Broken Heart, Oklahoma. She was in an abusive marriage and
after her husband tried to kill her, she put an end to
living in constant fear of him. Unfortunately her daughter
Glory was traumatized as a result of that night and hasn't
spoken a word since. They live with her ex husband's
grandmother, Elaine, and they're a happy family now even
though Simone has fangs and drinks blood.
When Simone meets Brady, she falls head over heels in love.
But he has a past of working for the Paranormal Research
and Investigation Services aka PRIS, and that doesn't make
him very trustworthy.As long as Brady doesn't find out how
exactly Simone and Glory got out of their bad situation,
all will be good.
But when someone goes missing, Brady realizes that PRIS is
back and in full force. What will happen to their
relationship when Brady finds out the truth about Simone?
OVER MY DEAD BODY is the fifth book in the Broken Heart,
Oklahoma Series featuring members of the community. This
was the first book that I've read by Michele Bardsley and I
was able to follow along as each story seems to be stand
alone stories. There were a million characters named at the
beginning of the book which was rather discouraging and
overwhelming at first, but after all the introductions I
was able to dive into the story.
From what I knew of this series, I thought it was light and
funny paranormals but this book was rather darker then
first anticipated. There was plenty of suspense and
mystery which I enjoy and the unusual talents of the
vampires in this book was fun to read about. Topics such as
domestic violence are a part of this book so if you are
picking it up thinking it's a light read, it's not really.
Despite the dark theme, I really enjoyed OVER MY DEAD BODY
and I'm interested in reading the previous books in this
series now. The characters are well developed and I cared
about what happened to them. The romance is sweet and I
rooted for a happy ending for Simone and Brady. Overall,
OVER MY DEAD BODY was a great paranormal romance that I
would definitely recommend to readers who enjoy a fast
paced story that will leave them guessing until the end.
Moving into Broken Heart seemed like the perfect transition
for Simone Sweet and her young daughter, Glory. With her
ex-husband gone after attempting to murder Simone, and Glory
being mute since the incident, it is one place where she can
feel safe, and almost forget she’s a ravenous
vampire...
No one is without secrets, but Simone’s
are big. She’d hate to have them interfere with what’s
developing with local hunk Braddock Hayes. When not turning
her legs to jelly, he’s building an Invisi-shield around
Broken Heart and helping Glory speak again. But when
Simone’s past resurfaces, it threatens to ruin her second
chance...
