This book gives readers a new Lizbeth Rose adventure. In A LONGER FALL, we see Lizbeth and her new crew working as protection while transporting a crate. A seemingly simple job but soon simple turns into hard when the crate is stolen. In order to fix all that went wrong, Lizbeth must go undercover and find a way to get the crate back. Who can Lizbeth trust, and how will she deal with the ideas and the people where she must exist while she looks to retrieve the crate?

A LONGER FALL by Charlaine Harris is book two in the Gunnie Rose series.  To truly enjoy and understand this book, readers should read book one of the series first as the two books are intertwined.  This book is full of intriguing characters, and the plot deals with racism in a big way. This story has a nice mixture of romance and action. While this story was an interesting read, it is not one of my favorites from Charlaine Harris.

The author weaves a different version of the reality of the past and has brought magic into this world. The town it is set in goes against all of Lizbeth’s beliefs, and she must try to fit in to discover the truth. I found Lizbeth to be a strong character, and she is more than ready to take on whatever is thrown at her. With the help of Eli, she fights to find the crate and to survive. The two work well together, and it was nice to see how their relationship worked. Of course, this is not the end of this series, and we are left with hints and questions about what will be Lizbeth’s next adventure. It was nice to see the strength and growth that Lizbeth has throughout it all.
