Sarah Reviews: Transparent Lovers by Scott Nicholson

 
 
 
 (originally titled Transparent Lovers) 

Private investigator Richard Steele must solve his most difficult case ever—his own murder—while caught between women on both sides of the grave. His lover Lee is tangled up in the mess he left behind, and his dead ex-wife has been waiting on the other side for her chance at revenge.
In a race against time as his spirit slips away, Richard confronts his many, many failings and faces a power beyond his understanding--love.
And it's going to be a hell of a final showdown.

 Buy the Kindle Edition – The Dead Love Longer by Scott Nicholson

Possibly the most confusing book review I've ever had to do, I read this when it was called the Transparent Lovers and I am behind with writing up my reviews that when I did I realised it had been renamed to The Dead Love Longer. I'm not a fan of the new title I confess and the thing is I really loved the book but the title change is almost cheating on the book. This review is based on the Transparent Lovers book which I was asked to review.

I can't contain how much I loved this book, Private Investigator Richard Steele has to solve his own murder. He also has to cope with his ex-wife Diana who has been waiting for revenge on the other side and his lover Lee who has to cope with the mess he has left behind. He has to solve his murder before he can move onto the afterlife.

The reason I loved this book is the way it's all put together, I was never confused and found myself in tears by the end. Whilst the story is about him solving his own murder it's also so much more, the physical and emotional side of our lives too. I would definitely re-read this and recommend this for people to read. I enjoyed how humour was brought into the story and this makes the story seem more real to the reader. You may find you bookmark several passages and pages to come back to at a later date to re-read as it's truly a great piece of work.

Definitely 5 Loveys for this but I might sound picky but the new title could have pushed me to lower the score. So I'm giving 5 for the Transparent Lovers!

Crystal & Bone: Who's Your Hottie?

By L.C. Glazebrook

http://lcglazebrook.blogspot.com

The October Girls, Crystal and Bone, were your typical teen-aged best friends, worried about fashion on a budget, trendy pop stars, and all those fumbling, unsophisticated boys at Parson's Ford High School.

Well, actually, Crystal wasn't all that typical--she's the latest in the generational line of Aldridge witches who have the responsibility of guarding the Orifice, a mysterious, oozing cavern that connects this world to Darkmeet. But Crystal doesn't want the job, because it means she has to remain Appalachian trailer-trash for the rest of her life, and she has plans for community college and the big city.

But everything changed when Bone was run over by a truck and got stuck at 16 forever. Crystal gets depression and drops out of school and now is trying to earn her GED and doesn't have time for boys. And she's not keeping up with the folk magic her momma is trying to teach her, though she's learned enough to consort with the dead and can't resist helping Bone come back from the other side of the grave.

That's complicated enough, but then there's all these guys around. Right?

CRYSTAL: Bone, if I help you come back from the dead, will you promise to stay away from bad boys?

BONE: Oh, you mean like Dempsey, the hot movie director who wants to make a horror movie in parson's Ford?

CRYSTAL: I can't help it. He says French words.

BONE: And the leather and the cute little silver chains don't do a thing for you, do they?

CRYSTAL: You know I'm loyal to Pettigrew.

BONE: Do I?

CRYSTAL: Umm, you've been watching, haven't you? The Orifice is right there on my bedroom wall. I'll bet you know more than you're letting on.

BONE: Gross. Do I look like a pervert?

CRYSTAL: You look like a car-crash victim wearing seven pounds of cobwebs. And what's with that floral-print blouse?

BONE: Family. They'll just bury you any old way.

CRYSTAL: Well, I'm in enough trouble just bringing you back from the dead. If you go out there and start fooling around and breaking hearts, who knows what might happen?

BONE: Heh heh. Yeah. Who knows?

CRYSTAL: Stay away from Dempsey. He's bad news.

BONE: Well, I'm already sort of seeing someone.

CRYSTAL: That was fast.

BONE: No, I mean "over there," in Darkmeet. A hunky guy with tight jeans and T-shirt, Robert Pattinson eyebrows, Brad Pitt lips, George Clooney charm, Johnny Depp cool.

CRYSTAL: Oooh, when can I meet him?

BONE: Pettigrew, remember?

CRYSTAL: (Sigh) Yeah. Momma's love spells. What can you do?

BONE: Family. They'll just match you up any old way.

CRYSTAL: He's reliable.

BONE: Yeah. And nice. And good for 40 years of marriage in a trailer park. Good luck with that.

CRYSTAL: That's mean, Bone. I'm going to get you--

BONE: Hee hee.

CRYSTAL: Hey. Come back. Don't go invisible when I'm trying to strangle you...

BONE: Hee hee.

Halloween. Candy corn never tasted so strange and sweet.
